Music Star Kid Rock has heaped praise on President Donald Trump over his efforts to crack down on radical ideology.
Rock described Trump as a”dragon slayer” who is defeating “wokeness,” “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), and cancel culture.
The pro-Trump singer said the president has now forced these far-left ideas to “exit the building.”
In an interview with Fox News at his “Rock N Rodeo” event in Texas on Friday, Rock said:
“I think wokeness and DEI and cancel culture is starting to exit the building, and we can thank President Trump for leading that charge once again.
“I call him the dragon slayer in that regard, ‘cuz he just came and slit the throat of DEI and wokeness.”
During his interview, the rocker acknowledged that there will always be a certain level of cancel culture in society.
However, he asserted that he won’t be participating.
“There’s always gonna be cancel culture at some level, somebody getting butt sore about this, wants to protest and not buy a product or whatever,” Rock said.
“You know, me personally, I’m not into seeing people lose their jobs over some corporate decision that was made.
“But sometimes there needs a little spanking there, like Bud Light had from me and some other people, but at the end of the day, we forgave them, said, ‘It’s all good. Let’s get back on track,’” he said.
Kid Rock shared his own opinion on how society should be run.
“I do think it’s exiting the building right now, and hopefully it stays gone, but we should be a merit-based system,” he said.
“The best and hardworking rises to the top.
“I don’t know how we got here, because to me, that’s just common sense, that’s just the ultimate, highest level of common sense, that just the best and the hardest workers rise to the top.
“It doesn’t matter, anything else.”
Kid Rock praised Trump for being the “greatest president ever.”
“My thoughts on President Trump’s presidency,” he said.
“Greatest president ever.
“I can sum it up like that,” said Rock, a longtime supporter of the sitting president.
“Not only because of our friendship and all the laughs we share on the golf course or hanging out at UFC fights or whatever it might be, but just the tenacity this man has.
“You know, the most resilient.”
Kid Rock continued, “You know I call myself the American bad—, but I think I got to ride shotgun on that moniker when I’m with the president.
“Just somebody who loves this country unapologetically, and fights for it every single day.”
Rock said he’s thankful Trump won in a “landslide victory,” which he predicted.
“I mean, to the tune of two assassination attempts,” he noted,
“I remind him all the time that I’m so glad he won in a landslide victory, which I was happy to predict, even though the media convinced us that he probably couldn’t win again.
“He’s just gonna kick a– for this country and gave up so much to do that.
“I remind him every day that, don’t forget, Mr. President.
“I was like, ‘We can deal with reasonable people on the left.’
“That’s no problem, I go, ‘But there’s a lot of bad actors. Their goal, at the highest level, is to lock you up and take everything you had.’
“I go, ‘and that we can’t forget. Those people need to be dealt with.’
“But other than that, love everybody. Let’s bring this country together,” he said.
During his interview, Rock addressed his viral White House outfit that he had worn while Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office.
“I had dinner with Bill Maher, we knew that it was on the books, that’s what I was going to DC,” he said.
“The White House reached out and said, you know, come to the Oval Office early, say hello to the President, get a photo op, and I’m like, ‘Oh, sweet.’
“So, I already had that outfit in the works for the 250th anniversary of America, I don’t know what for, it was for some shows, a photoshoot, whatever, and that outfit was done, made by the legendary Manuel out of Nashville, Tennessee, rodeo clothing designer, old friend, 94 years old, just a great patriot,” Kid Rock said, referencing his bright-colored and patriotic outfit.
“So, I go, ‘Man, I’m gonna wear that in there for the photo op, and then I’ll take a suit and change for dinner.’
“So that day, I was unaware that they were surprising me with an executive order on the ticketing issues I’ve been trying to solve.
“So, I just found out about that when I was at the White House, and I got this freaking outfit on.
“You know, where Peter Doocy [Fox News White House correspondent] said it looked like I was getting shot out of a cannon, which was hilarious.
“I had no idea I was going to be standing there for an hour in a press conference.
“I might have chosen a different outfit, but you know what?
“I’m glad I didn’t. It turned out to be so much fun,” Kid Rock said.
