Rock musician Kid Rock was introduced to the stage at a Friday night concert by former President Donald Trump, who described the singer as “one of the greatest entertainers of our time.”
Trump made the introduction in a prerecorded video, which was played on the giant screens at the concert in Ocala, Florida. The former president also praised those attending the concert and encouraged them to continue to “fight for our God-given freedoms.”
“All of you in attendance are the true backbone of our great country; hardworking, God-fearing, rock and roll patriots,” Trump said in his video. “Bob is truly one of the greatest entertainers of our time. Let’s all continue to love one another, fight for our God-given freedoms, and most of all, let’s make America rock again!”
Couldn’t post this last night because there was no service with 30,000 people @rockthecountry_ in Ocala, FL but President Trump gave an absolutely epic intro for @KidRock before “We The People”
Amazing.
We are gonna win big!

Trump concluded his message by putting on a red ball cap with the inscription “Make America Rock Again,” a nod to his iconic “MAGA” campaign hats. The former president on Saturday shared footage of the concert audience, who were chanting “U-S-A” together.
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, has been vocal in his support for Trump in the past, and he attended an Ultimate Fighting Championship match with the former president in November.
