WASHINGTON, DC: Kid Rock revealed his true feelings about some of Donald Trump's darker traits in a bizarre interview published on Monday, May 20. "You think I like Trump because he’s a nice guy?" the rocker, born Bob Ritchie, told journalist David Peisner. "I’m not electing the deacon of a church."

"That motherf***** likes to win," said the MAGA enthusiast, who has repeatedly voiced support for the embattled ex-president. "He likes to cheat in his f*****g golf game. I want that guy on my team. I want the guy who goes, 'I'm going to fight with you.'"

Kid Rock's alcohol-fueled rant included immigration tirade and gun-waving  

Throughout the interview, Rock reportedly consumed a large amount of alcohol, becoming "belligerently" drunk. At one point, the writer said he ranted about immigration and shouted "9/11" at him. Another portion of the article detailed the 'Picture' singer pulling a gun on Peisner.

"He’s sitting in a dark leather chair, shouting at me about something or other, when he reaches behind the seat, pulls out a black handgun, and waves it around to make some sort of point," Peisner revealed. The musician informed him, "I got a f*****g goddamn gun right here if I need it! I got them everywhere!" reported Rolling Stone.

Kid Rock urges journalist to pen 'most horrific' article about him

When it was time for Peisner to leave, the 53-year-old attempted to stop him, telling him he wouldn't "make it" back to his car on his own "up a steep hill, through unfamiliar woods." The interviewer claimed Rock even got "chest to chest" with him and "up in his face" during the verbal altercation, but claimed the musician may have been doing it all for show, as he could "detect a sly smile creeping from the corner of his mouth."

Before Peisner left, Rock advised him, "Just write the most horrific article about me. Do it. It helps me."

Netizens slam Kid Rock for his stance on Donald Trump

"He represents MAGA perfectly!" a user tweeted. "Kid Rock (practically whispering and already crying): Would do me a favor? Just write something about me that makes me interesting. Do it. It helps me," mocked a user.



 



 

A third said, "Kid Rock is a bada**! And rolling stone= Love his answers!" "You inteview a drunken Maga and say ‘Hey, you gotta read what happened!’ C’mon man," read a tweet. "Stay in school, kids," another said.



 



 



 

"Even if you forget his politics, Kid Rock has been washed up since around 2002," a user said.
