In the midst of the on-off-on-off-and-on-again war against Iran, historically low poll numbers, high gas prices, a housing affordability crisis and a potential midterm bloodbath in the fall, President Trump apparently has plenty of time for late-night chats with Kid Rock.

The MAGA faithful singer born Robert James Ritchie, 55, bragged in a recent interview with Sky News Australia that not only does he frequently dial up the leader of the free world after he’s had a couple drinks, but that Trump “always” picks up when he sees Rock’s number.
Rock, who has visited the White House, sat with Trump at football games, taken joy rides on Army helicopters thanks to Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth and repeatedly pledged his affection for the former reality TV star, said his relationship with the president is “f–king awesome.” In fact, asked if Trump ever “randomly” texts him, Rock said he does, adding, “it’s one of my late-night drinking tricks because I know when to get him. He’s so gracious, he always picks up or he’ll call and check in just to shoot the s–t.”
And while Rock admitted that Trump doesn’t call him for political advice on say, whether he should bomb Iran, “if I’m sitting around having some beers if it’s like, 11, 12 on a Friday or Saturday, I know he’s up. He sleeps like me, he sleeps five hours.”
The rapper-turned-rocker-turned-country crooner told reporter Paul Murray that he enjoys “the hell out of hanging” with Trump and their boozy late night chats — one-sided imbibing, seemingly, since Trump famously does not partake — admitting that there’s no beating the honor of having “a front-row seat to the greatest s–t show on earth.”
And, amid new financial disclosure reports that Trump and his family have profited to the tune of nearly $2 billion during his first year back in the White House, Rock brushed off concerns that the nation’s leader has blown past traditional conflict-of-interest barriers in boosting crypto while also helping to set regulations on the digital currency.
Reacting to those complaining that former real estate mogul Trump is, unlike previous presidents, “making so much money” while in office, Rock responded, “No s–t, ’cause he’s a f–king businessman, he’s smart. He did that before he was President, and I know his heart and soul.”
