Kid Rock, who has long been one of the few openly conservative stars in entertainment, spoke out last week to predict that former President Donald Trump will win the state of Michigan.

“What do you think is going to happen in Michigan, though?” asked Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “I mean, your home state is going to wake up and decide, no but, we’re not going to kill our auto industry with electric vehicles, and they’re going to win it.”
Kid Rock held nothing back with his response.
“Trump is winning. Trump is winning Michigan. I mean, auto workers are smart enough to know that electric vehicles mean you’re going to be replaced with a robot,” he responded emphatically. “They’re smart enough to know. Everybody has Google.com. They can search it, whatever, like they know this is coming.
“You know, I appreciate what Elon Musk is doing. I think that guy is a genius,” Kid Rock continued. “But as far as Michigan is concerned, we will produce automobiles where we will keep the industrial revolution alive. And we may have to innovate and get beyond where things are going now. Am I going off base here?”

Kid Rock doubles
Without stopping there, Kid Rock continued to double down.
“[M]Ichigan is the melting pot of America,” he explained. “When people came from the South after, you know, the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, this and that, and they stopped in Chicago, and they came to Detroit to make a living, this and that. They stayed here. There have been generations there, including my family.
“I’ll do the opposite,” Kid Rock concluded. “I will do the opposite of Biden. I mean, if you don’t fight, if you don’t vote for Donald Trump, you’re not from Michigan.

Kid Rock defends Trump
In this same interview, Kid Rock defended Trump’s taste in music as “the damn best.”
“[Trump’s] I played so many great songs,” he said. “It’s a playlist I would play. I’ve heard of ‘House of the Rising Sun.’ I’ve also listened to Springsteen songs, you know, Elvis, Elton John, and then there’s they were these patriotic tunes…”
“He’s amazing, the damn best,” he added of Trump’s musical tastes. “How cool is it that he grooves to the music—and by the way, he plays a lot of artists who probably don’t agree with his politics, to put it lightly, but what does that say about him?” like a man?”
Kid Rock has long been one of the few celebrities to publicly support Trump, and the two have developed a close personal friendship. Back in December, Kid Rock described Trump as “the toughest son of a bitch on Earth.”
“He’s doing great, he’s amazing,” Kid Rock said of Trump, according to WPDE. “I love spending time with him, getting to know him. I think if you look at his resume and who he is as a whole, there’s a lot more good there than anything else.
Kid Rock should be applauded for continuing to stand by his good friend Trump despite all the pressure from the entertainment world to abandon the former president. If only there were more celebrities out there who had the courage to do the same thing!
