Kid Rock Lets Go Brandon Anti Biden T-Shirt

1. Tik Tok of Trump's video greeting at Kid Rock concert goes viral
It’s clear Kid Rock knows his audience — and so, apparently, does Donald Trump.
On Wednesday night, the singer's concert in Evansville, Ind., began with a video greeting from the 45th
president, which has now been viewed more than half a million times on TikTok.
Flanked by American flags, Trump appeared full of affection both for concertgoers and for Rock, whom
he referred to by the singer's given name, Bob. Immediately after the video ended, Kid Rock launched
into a performance of his obscenity-laced new song, “We The People,” whose lyrics are filled with
partisan rage directed at supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement; people who wear masks to
prevent the spread of covid-19; the mainstream media; Anthony S. Fauci; and — using the phrase “Let’s
go, Brandon” — President Biden, among others. The song's corresponding music video, released in
March, shows teenagers destroying a TV with the CNN logo displayed on it; a woman holding an assault
rifle on a bed covered with ammunition; supporters holding a “Trump 2024” banner; and other signifiers
of far-right loyalties.
Trump’s video appearance at the start of Kid Rock’s “Bad Reputation” tour signals an appeal to the
former president’s base, and plays off the current culture wars. Like the political rallies held during
Trump's own presidency and well into Biden's, it seems to mark the continuation of a campaign that
never ends.
Kid Rock's R-rated speech made his politics clear. But he left out the most important part.
“Hello everyone, I love you all,” Trump’s video began. “I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock
concert tonight. Quite frankly, he's amazing. All of you in attendance are the true backbone of our great
country, hard-working, god-fearing, rock-and-roll patriots.” He then called on the crowd to “continue to
love one another,” before donning a “Make America Rock Again” hat.

As a musician, Kid Rock's persona co-opts American symbols: a guitar, clothing items, album cover and
stage set decorated with the American flag. On Wednesday, he appeared onstage beside a large, gold-
colored eagle, decked out in a glittering red, white and blue costume. The art for the “We The People”

2. single uses a typeface evoking to script used in the U.S. Constitution, and the song briefly quotes from
the document in its lyrics.
Although Trump has famously had difficulty getting the endorsement of celebrities, Kid Rock isn't the
only star to stand by him, with Gene Simmons of Kiss, comedian Roseann Barr and singer Aaron Carter
also lend their support.
Featuring a cameo from Trump is only the latest outwardly political move by the 51-year-old musician.
In 2017, Kid Rock had dinner at the White House with former Alaska governor and vice-presidential
candidate Sarah Palin and rock musician Ted Nugent. A few months later, Kid Rock created a campaign
webpage of his own, teasing on Twitter that he was running for Senate — a move that garnered support
from the Republican super PAC Senate Leadership Fund, which is backed by Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R - Ky.). The musician later said it was a stunt.
Kid Rock Lets Go Brandon and Trump have a long-standing relationship, and have appeared in multiple
photos golfing together. (Trump joked, in his video greeting, that Kid Rock’s golf skills “could use a little
work.”) In September 2020, when the pandemic’s death count was 200,000, Kid Rock performed at a
Trump rally in his home state of Michigan.
