Music star Kid Rock has fired back at the corporate media over the selective reporting on President Donald Trump from liberal “news” outlets.
Trump’s first 100 days in office have been marked by historic executive action.
The president has been battling major issues impacting the American people, such as the border crisis and global trade.
However, another key aspect of this period is Trump’s outreach to liberal foes like HBO host Bill Maher and Democrat Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Last month, Trump and Maher held a meeting at the White House, despite years of blasting each other publicly.
Trump also changed his tune on Gov. Whitmer during her visit to the Oval Office earlier this month.
The president said Whitmer has “done an excellent job” and called her a “very good person.”
On Tuesday, he announced a new series of fighter jets for Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan.
In the announcement, Trump gave credit to Whitmer for advocating for the base.
During an appearance on Fox News, longtime Trump supporter and music superstar Kid Rock slammed the corporate media for refusing to recognize the president’s olive branches in the first 100 days of his second term.
He noted that some “news” outlets have instead chosen to question the motives behind the outreach.
Speaking about the Maher-Trump dinner on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday, Rock said:
“This was a really positive thing for our country when we’ve all been so divided.
“And not one, not one of the mainstream media, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, none of them, not one word about it.”
“I have to imagine that comes from the top.
“And I’ve just had enough with the mainstream media at this point.
“I believe truly they are public enemy number one for our country.”
Maher visited Trump at a March 31 meeting.
UFC president Dana White was also in attendance at the meeting, which was brokered by Kid Rock.
Kid Rock said Trump took the group up to the private residence, where they saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln Bedroom and chatted about their commonalities like “ending wokeness” and “securing the border.”
Since the meeting, Maher has offered his perspective on the visit.
The “Real Time” host said Trump was more gracious and good-humored than he expected, despite backlash from Democrats.
Some critics, like fellow comedian Larry David, have wondered whether Trump used Maher in the dinner at the White House.
Kid Rock said he “can’t figure it out” why it is controversial for voices like Maher to meet with Trump.
“I remind people all the time, I played Barack Obama’s inauguration,” he told Fox News host Jesse Watters.
“I did not vote for him, but he got elected president.
“They asked me to be there. I was graceful.”
In a similar manner, Whitmer came under fire from fellow Democrats after appearing alongside Trump.
She was pictured with Trump during a White House signing ceremony this month.
During the meeting, the president seemed to change his tune about the Democrat he had previously called a “terrible governor” last year.
Trump said Whitmer had “done an excellent job” and called her a “very good person” during remarks from the Oval Office.
“It signifies a lot about our president that he’s willing to give some credit where credit is due,” Kid Rock said, praising Trump’s comments toward Whitmer.
Kid Rock reasoned the mainstream media’s coverage of both stories shows “TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] is still prevalent out there.”
He joked that the president should sign an executive order to facilitate finding a “cure” for TDS.
