We all know good and well at this point that ex-President Donald Trump was less than responsible with the official documents he was, well, responsible for not only during his time in office but on his way out of the White House as well. Over the last couple of months, we’ve heard all the stories on the former guy’s dangerously improper handling of official, confidential, and even top-secret documents — ranging from burn bags to documents that had to be taped back together, to White House toilets clogged with ripped papers, to boxes upon boxes of official documents that he packed up and took with him to his Mar-a-Lago resort/home following his eviction from the presidency.
But as it turns out, frankly unsurprisingly so, it seems the now-former president was just as lax and irresponsible with official documents and information on a personal front as he was on a record-keeping front.
Notoriously Trump-loving musician Kid Rock recently sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, in which he revealed that now-former President Trump once allegedly asked the controversial singer for advice about foreign policy messaging, with specific regard to Islamic State and North Korea. And it seems Donald Trump may very well have shared sensitive, if not classified, information and documentation with the singer, who certainly doesn’t possess any sort of level of security clearance whatsoever — to the point that even Kid Rock himself questioned whether it was something he was really supposed to see.
During the interview that was timed in unison with the release of the singer’s new album, Kid Rock (whose real name is Robert James Ritchie) and Tucker Carlson discussed — among many other things such as Dr. Fauci, cancel culture, and the pandemic as a whole — the singer’s close personal friendship with Donald Trump.

“I was there with [Trump] one day when he ended the caliphate,” the singer explained to the Fox host as they discussed the US efforts against the Islamic State.
“He wanted to put out a tweet … I don’t like to speak out of school. I hope I’m not. But … the tweet was, and I’m paraphrasing, but it’s like, you know, ‘If you ever joined the caliphate, you know, trying to do this, you’re going to be dead.’ He goes, ‘What do you think?’ [I said] ‘Awesome. I can’t add any better.’ But then it comes out and it’s… reworded and more political, to look politically correct. And just, be afraid’.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Kid Rock goes on to reveal that he and the then-president were once “looking at maps. I’m like, you know, like, ‘Am I supposed to be in on this shit?’ Like I make dirty records sometimes. I do.”
“‘What do you think we should do about North Korea?’ I’m like, ‘What? I don’t think I’m qualified to answer this.'”
The singer made sure to heap his praises on his pal Donald Trump before the interview was over, stating, “See now, if you watch a Joe Biden interview, and you watch a Trump interview, there’s no comparison. And Trump speaks off the cuff. I understand what it’s like, sometimes you get it wrong. But I would way rather hear somebody come from here [the heart] and get it wrong once in a while.”
As if Trump’s presidency wasn’t bad enough… He was trying to get policy advice from someone who thinks the Confederate flag is a fashion statement.
