Kid Rock: 'I'm digging Trump'

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/267756-kid-rock-im-digging-trump

Kid Rock is backing Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for president.

In a profanity-laced interview with Rolling Stone, the Detroit rocker said he finds Trump's campaign "entertaining as shit" and he thinks the real estate mogul will win the GOP nomination.

"My feeling: Let the motherf***ing business guy run (the country) like a f***ing business," he said. "It's not really working too well running it not like a business. I mean, what business f***ing survives when they're f***ing broke?"

In early 2015, Kid Rock told Fox News host Megyn Kelly that supported retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.


And now a nation awaits Captain Poopypants' endorsement with bated breath.

Oh, wait...you've fallen off the face of the earth and are playing free casino shows already. Like I really give a shit about what your dumb ass thinks it takes to be president. The United States of America is not a business, it is a nation. Two totally different thing, but what would your stupid drunk ass know about business? Time to go snuggle with Ted Nugent. Your fifteen minutes were up years ago.

No kidding. People were going nuts.

FLINT, MI – Employees at Flint Assembly got one heck of a surprise on Wednesday morning as many turned around to see Kid Rock walking the line.

The rocker, from Metro Detroit, made a surprise visit to the plant after he purchased a Flint-made truck and wanted to tour the facility.

"He toured the plant, walked the final line and actually drove a truck off the line," GM Spokesman Tom Wickham said. "He actually has a Flint truck and he wanted to see the trucks being built."

Flint Assembly specifically has produced more than 13 million vehicles and currently builds the Chevrolet Silverado LD and HD and the GMC Sierra HD.

Wickham said the visit was a joint effort from Kid Rock and GM's Marketing team for the visit, which lasted an hour.

"He had a lot of fun and our employees had a lot of fun too," Wickham said.

He does know Trump's business went bankrupt as Trump walked away rich... How many lessons on Government is not like a business do we as a nation need.

He's about as low an information voter as they get. I like some of his music, but he really isn't too smart.
