Kid Rock recently shared a surprising phone call with President-elect Donald Trump, who reached out to clarify a joke about strippers and the Secret Service. Trump, curious if the Secret Service had really restricted pole dancers at a rally in Washington, D.C., called Kid Rock directly. The musician quickly assured Trump it was just a joke. The conversation also covered Trump’s decision to move the inauguration indoors due to extreme cold weather, with Kid Rock offering his input. This candid exchange highlights the unexpected and light-hearted dynamic between the musician and the future president.
“Friday morning I got a call from the President and [Trump’s spouse] Melania and it was kind of mind-blowing, I’ve tried to leave him alone, he’s got a lot on his plate, I would think, right now,” Kid Rock said. “He called and he goes, ‘Did the Secret Service really tell you that you can’t use strippers?’”
Kid Rock quickly assured Trump that he wasn’t serious: “No, sir, I was just joking around.”
Trump, laughing, replied, "Ah, that’s funny," according to Kid Rock’s recollection.
The conversation didn’t end there, as Trump also sought Kid Rock’s opinion on holding the Inauguration ceremony indoors due to the predicted extreme cold weather in Washington D.C. Kid Rock was surprised that the President-elect would turn to him, given his history of songs like “You Never Met A Motherf—er Quite Like Me” and “Redneck Paradise.”
