Kid Rock credits President Donald Trump with helping to rid the nation of cancel culture, wokeness, and pervasive DEI initiatives.
The 54-year-old recording artist, who has been a fervent supporter of Trump for years, made the remarks while speaking with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kid-rock-hails-trump-dragon-slayer-battling-wokeness-cancel-culture">Fox News Digital</a> on Friday at his &#8220;Rock N Rodeo&#8221; event in Texas.
&#8220;I think wokeness and DEI and cancel culture is starting to exit the building, and we can thank President Trump for leading that charge once again. I call him the dragon slayer in that regard, &#8216;cuz he just came and slit the throat of DEI and wokeness,&#8221; Kid Rock told the outlet.
&#8220;There&#8217;s always gonna be cancel culture at some level, somebody getting butt sore about this, wants to protest and not buy a product or whatever. You know, me personally, I&#8217;m not into seeing people lose their jobs over some corporate decision that was made,” he continued, before referencing one of the most successful boycotts by conservatives in history.
&#8220;But sometimes there needs [to be] a little spanking there, like Bud Light had from me and some other people, but at the end of the day, we forgave them, said, ‘It&#8217;s all good. Let&#8217;s get back on track.’&#8221; 
The “Born Free” singer next described his vision for America. 
&#8220;I do think it&#8217;s exiting the building right now, and hopefully it stays gone, but we should be a merit-based system. The best and hardworking rises to the top. I don&#8217;t know how we got here, because to me, that&#8217;s just common sense, that&#8217;s just the ultimate, highest level of common sense that just the best and the hardest workers rise to the top. It doesn&#8217;t matter, anything else,&#8221; he told the outlet.
Kid Rock also called Trump the “greatest president ever.” 
&#8220;My thoughts on President Trump&#8217;s presidency: greatest president ever. I can sum it up like that. Not only because of our friendship and all the laughs we share on the golf course or hanging out at UFC fights or whatever it might be, but just the tenacity this man has. You know, the most resilient,&#8221; he said.
Just after the inauguration, Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, talked about a major shift in the entertainment industry as mainstream artists like Carrie Underwood and Snoop Dogg were willing to associate themselves with Trump. 
“It feels like the rebirth of our nation,” the singer said at the time, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-rock-reflects-on-mainstream-celebrities-associating-with-trump-americas-back?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Kid+Rock+Reflects+On+Mainstream+Celebrities+Associating+With+Trump%3A+%E2%80%98America%E2%80%99s+Back%E2%80%99">reported</a>. 
“There’s just this overwhelming sense … you’ve heard it a million times, that America’s back,” he added. “Now they feel it’s safe to go in the water after dipping their toe in it for four to eight years,” Ritchie said. “I mean, welcome to the party, like I’ve said. Better to have them on board than not.”
In April, Kid Rock helped set up a dinner with Trump, UFC CEO Dana White, and liberal podcast host Bill Maher. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-rock-trump-meeting-bill-maher?author=Daniel+Chaitin&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Kid+Rock+Dishes+On+Trump%E2%80%99s+Meeting+With+Bill+Maher%3A+%E2%80%98Everybody%E2%80%99s+Mind+Was+Kind+Of+Blown%E2%80%99">described</a> the meeting as “so pleasant,” saying, “everybody’s mind was kind of blown.”

On Tuesday, Kid Rock shared details of President Donald Trump&#8217;s meeting with liberal comedian Bill Maher, declaring that &#8220;everybody’s mind was kind of blown.&#8221;
The rock star, who got to <a href="https://x.com/News4SA/status/1907109777441706181" target="_blank" rel="noopener">witness</a> Trump sign an executive order designed to crack down on price gouging in ticket resales, joined Fox News to discuss how he convinced Maher to meet Trump and what actually happened when they all got together for dinner, along with UFC CEO Dana White.
Both Trump and Maher — who have been heavily critical of each other over the years — had previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-confirms-meeting-with-bill-maher-it-might-be-fun-or-it-might-not" target="_blank" rel="noopener">credited</a> Kid Rock with brokering the get-together on Monday.
&#8220;I went on Bill’s show, I went on his podcast and I said, &#8216;Man, you know, nothing happens if people don’t break bread together and meet face-to-face.&#8217; He’s been one of the president’s hardest critics. And we came to dinner, me, Bill, Dana White, and it could not have been better,&#8221; the rock star said.
&#8220;Everyone was so surprised. It was so pleasant,&#8221; Kid Rock added. &#8220;The most shocking thing to me was Bill is obviously a big liberal and very hard on the president. He’s donated a lot of money to other politicians. You know, you&#8217;ve had Biden, Clinton, Obama — everybody — he had never been to the White House.&#8221;
But, Kid Rock said, Trump was &#8220;gracious&#8221; and gave them a tour of the White House.
&#8220;He took us up to the private residence. We saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln Bedroom,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I was like, you’ve never been here, Bill? And I was like, how about this? President Trump, you know, extending this olive branch and we talked about things we had in common.&#8221;
Kid Rock said they discussed &#8220;ending wokeness&#8221; and &#8220;securing the border.&#8221; He noted that Trump asked Maher about policy on Iran and Israel, and remarked, &#8220;It blew my mind. I was very proud.&#8221;
&#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; co-host Lawrence Jones asked, &#8220;Do you think he walked away liking him? Because, you know, Trump is the type of person you have to meet him to understand him,&#8221; to which Kid Rock responded in the affirmative.
&#8220;100%. 100%. Me and Dana both said there was like — there has never been anyone who has ever met the president in any scenario who has walked away without saying, like, wow, what a great guy. He&#8217;s so funny, so engaging, he&#8217;s so smart. And absolutely, Bill even said to me — after that he goes, &#8216;Wow, that was — &#8216; you know, everybody’s mind was kind of blown.&#8221;
Kid Rock went on to say: &#8220;The president called me late last night. Everyone was a little suspect about going into this. Even the president [said to me], like, &#8216;What have you got me doing?&#8217; I go, man, we’re trying to show people that even though we’ve been hard on each other, that when you get face-to-face, maybe we can have more civility in this country and try to bring people together, you know. That was my whole intention.&#8221;

Kid Rock Dishes On Trump’s Meeting With Bill Maher: ‘Everybody’s Mind Was Kind Of Blown’

Politics

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that targeted ticket resellers and scalpers who profit from jacking up the prices.
Recording artist Kid Rock joined the president for the signing. The order directs the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice to team up with state attorneys general to enforce laws that prevent entertainers and fans from being overcharged and price gouged by resellers, per <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5224370-trump-executive-order-ticket-scalping-reselling/amp/">The Hill</a>.
The EO also highlights the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act and promotes it being enforced by consumer protection authorities.
It also ensures price transparency at all stages of the ticket-purchasing process, including the secondary ticket market, as a better protection for concertgoers. The EO says it will take action to prevent &#8220;unfair, deceptive, and anti-competitive conduct&#8221; in the secondary ticketing market.
&#8220;Anyone who&#8217;s bought a concert ticket in the last decade, maybe 20 years, no matter what your politics are, knows it is a conundrum,&#8221; Kid Rock, who was decked out in red, white, and blue, told reporters. 
&#8220;If you buy a ticket for 100 bucks by the time you check it out, it&#8217;s 170. You don&#8217;t know what you can charge for it, but more importantly, these bots you know, they come in to get all the good tickets to your favorite shows you want to go to, and then they&#8217;re relisted immediately for sometimes a 4 or 500% markup.&#8221; 
Kid Rock explained that the artists &#8220;don&#8217;t see any of that money.&#8221;  
“It bothers him, it bothers a lot of other artists too,” Trump said of Kid Rock. 
Trump mentioned tackling high concert ticket prices while on the campaign trail last year.
“Scalpers and bots prevent fans from getting tickets at the prices artists set, and we thank President Trump for taking them head-on. We support any meaningful resale reforms — including more enforcement of the BOTS act, caps on resale prices, and more,” Live Nation Entertainment told The Daily Wire in a statement on Tuesday morning.
Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino echoed that sentiment in an X <a href="https://x.com/Michael_Rapino/status/1906842969078120667">post</a> thanking President Trump and Kid Rock for &#8220;taking ticket-scalping head on.&#8221;

On Sunday, President Donald Trump said that he reluctantly plans to meet with Bill Maher, a liberal comedian who has been very critical of him over the years.
Maher <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-an-honor-bill-maher-explains-why-hes-going-to-meet-soon-with-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> during a recent episode of his &#8220;Club Random&#8221; podcast that he took up a proposal from Kid Rock — a rock star who supports Trump — to meet with the president. On Truth Social, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114254057682596962" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he would go through with the get-together as a favor to Kid Rock.
&#8220;I got a call from a very good guy, and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP. I really didn’t like the idea much, and don’t like it much now, but thought it would be interesting,&#8221; Trump said.
&#8220;The problem is,&#8221; Trump added, &#8220;no matter how much he likes your Favorite President, ME, he will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc., very much like the Democrats at my recent Address to the Joint Session of Congress, where I stated, correctly, that no matter what I said or did, they wouldn’t stand, they wouldn’t applaud, they wouldn’t smile or laugh and, certainly, they wouldn’t be in any way &#8216;nice.'&#8221;
He ended the post by saying: &#8220;Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be proven wrong? In any event, I’m doing a favor for a friend. I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher, Kid Rock and, I believe, even the Legendary [UFC CEO] Dana White will be present. It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!&#8221;
Trump did not provide a date for when the meeting will take place.
Maher, who has in the past been the subject of <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/trump-withdraws-orangutan-lawsuit-against-comic-bill-maher-idUSBRE9310PL/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">litigation</a> filed by Trump and levied very harsh criticisms of the president, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-an-honor-bill-maher-explains-why-hes-going-to-meet-soon-with-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that he expected to make people on the Left upset over the planned meeting. But the comedian emphasized that his side did lose the election and that people should talk despite their differences.
&#8220;It’s an honor to be invited to the White House under any circumstance,&#8221; Maher said.

Trump Confirms Meeting With Bill Maher: ‘It Might Be Fun Or, It Might Not’

Liberal comedian Bill Maher said he will soon be meeting with President Donald Trump despite his criticism of the president in the past, and he doesn’t care what anyone on the Left thinks about it.
During an upcoming episode of “Club Random” podcast on Sunday, Maher and his guest podcaster Andrew Schulz talk about Trump’s re-election and the host reveals that he agreed to Kid Rock’s request to meet with the president at the White House.
&#8220;Kid Rock was here a couple of weeks ago, and he said, ‘I want you to meet Trump.’ He said, &#8216;I&#8217;m gonna take you to the White House,’” Maher said. “So now we&#8217;re gonna do that.”
Maher predicted leftists will get upset about him talking to Trump, but he doesn’t care.

&#8220;And there will be lots of people on the Left who will be like, ‘How dare you talk to this man.&#8217; It&#8217;s like, f*** you, I&#8217;m not playing this game that you mean girls play,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;&#8216;Oh, you know what? You can&#8217;t sit at my lunch table because I&#8217;m just not talking to you.&#8217; Not talking to you? You lost the election. Who the f*** do you think you have to talk to?&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s one thing if you win it. It&#8217;s another thing if you lose it,&#8221; he added. “You have to talk to people.”
The liberal talk show host also took a dig at Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous meeting in the Oval Office and said he won’t be dressed like Zelensky, who many mocked after the leader showed up in non-formal attire for his White House meeting.
“It’s not going to be a black t-shirt. I am wearing a suit and tie,” he added, noting a suit Jordan Peterson once gave him. “The Jordan Peterson approved suit. It’s a sign of respect. It’s the White House.”
“And you also have to respect that the guy did win,” he added. “More than half the country. … You can not like Trump. You can hate him. You can’t hate everyone who voted for him. I said it in my last special, I don’t hate half the country and I don’t want to hate half the country.”
Maher reiterated that unlike other liberals, he will “talk to anybody” and “it’s an honor to be invited to the White House under any circumstance.”
The comedian previously made headlines when he shut down former CNN host Don Lemon’s racist comments about black supporters of Trump when Lemon said a “huge faction of the MAGA movement” are “really f***ing racist” and that you can’t be black “and be a rational MAGA person,” as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-maher-shuts-down-don-lemons-racist-comments-about-black-trump-supporters">reported</a>.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock">Kid Rock</a> commented on the increasing number of mainstream <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">celebrities</a>, including Carrie Underwood and Snoop Dogg, who are now willing to associate with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>.
The rock performer has been an out and proud Trump supporter all along. Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, spoke with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kid-rock-believes-trump-has-gained-celebrity-support-because-stars-feel-its-safe-now">Fox News</a> about the shift just before he performed at Trump&#8217;s MAGA Victory Rally on Sunday in Washington, D.C.
&#8220;It feels like the rebirth of our nation,&#8221; Ritchie told Fox News at the event. &#8220;Felt like that at the UFC fight after the election, everybody was together, you know, walking to the ring,&#8221; he added, referencing a high-energy post-election event in New York City.
&#8220;There&#8217;s just this overwhelming sense … you&#8217;ve heard it a million times, that America&#8217;s back,&#8221; the musician added. &#8220;Now they feel it&#8217;s safe to go in the water after dipping their toe in it for four to eight years,&#8221; Ritchie said. &#8220;I mean, welcome to the party, like I&#8217;ve said. Better to have them on board than not.”
&#8220;There&#8217;s a whole change in the air, there&#8217;s a whole shift in everything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;[People] saw what he did the first time. And when you really look at the facts and the numbers and how great it was, and it&#8217;s only going to be better from there. The feeling&#8217;s everywhere. Especially if you&#8217;re on our side – it&#8217;s through the roof. But I think people, all reasonable people, I feel, you know, are understanding, just if we would have got a reasonable Democrat.&#8221;

Ritchie said, &#8220;Like, it&#8217;s OK … we think differently on a lot of things, but if you&#8217;re a reasonable person, and I really got to stress ‘reasonable,’ because Lord knows there are some fruitcakes out there.&#8221;
Underwood caught a lot of heat from fans due to her decision to sing “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration. She eventually issued a statement to fans, saying, &#8220;I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event.”

Snoop Dogg also got chastised by social media followers for performing at the Crypto Ball ahead of the inauguration, especially since the rapper was critical of Trump during his first time in office. But Snoop Dogg had already indicated his feelings had changed during a January 2024 <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/article/snoop-dogg-i-have-nothing-but-love-and-respect-for-donald-trump-k60k99phr?region=global">interview</a> with the Sunday Times when he said he had &#8220;nothing but love and respect&#8221; for the former president.
&#8220;Donald Trump? He ain&#8217;t done nothing wrong to me,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;He has done only great things for me.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock">Kid Rock</a> had a message about respect for former first lady Michelle Obama after she announced she’s skipping the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
During the rocker&#8217;s appearance on Thursday on <a href="https://x.com/jessebwatters/status/1880070807873024082?s=46&amp;t=yVg_AIbZC0FnyCtU4qPVYw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX News</a> Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” the host asked the 53-year-old singer about performing at Trump’s second inauguration and if this was his first one.
Kid Rock said it wasn&#8217;t his first, reminding Watters that he first attended and performed for the inauguration of former President Barack Obama. 
“I was actually listening to your show a little bit before I got in the truck here. And I heard Michelle Obama&#8217;s not attending,” Kid Rock said. “I would kindly remind her that years back, when Obama was first elected, I did not vote for him, but they asked me to play the inauguration, and I played it, and I went, had a good time.”

“I went for &#8212; out of respect to the presidency,” he added. “So I would kindly remind Ms. Michelle about that.”
Watters then asked the singer why he thought the former first lady wouldn’t be attending “when all the other first ladies are.”

“I don&#8217;t know,” Kid Rock replied. “She seems a little angry. She might be &#8212; wow. I don&#8217;t know. If you can&#8217;t say something nice, let me hear it.”
On Wednesday, the Trump-Vance <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inauguration">Inaugural Committee</a> announced that superstars <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/carrie-underwood">Carrie Underwood</a> and Jason Aldean, along with the “Cowboy” hitmaker, will be just a few of the singers participating in the various inauguration events.

Speaking on Watters, Kid Rock said he was putting together something very special for the rally.
“I mean, I have spent so much time on this, when I was first asked to do it, and it was kind of a thing where they&#8217;re like, can you show up and play the track, do a couple songs?” Ritchie said.
“And I was like, respectfully, I&#8217;m not interested in that at all. I&#8217;d rather help you any way I can. I&#8217;m a supporter,” he added. “And so I came up and I put something together, put it all down on paper to the minute, everything choreographed &#8212; this, this, and this. They loved it.”
&#8220;Of course, we get into it. And we&#8217;re going through the due diligence to get it done. And God bless them,” Kid Rock continued. “Here comes the Secret Service and they&#8217;re like, yes, we can&#8217;t &#8212; we can&#8217;t light off fireworks and have big pyrotechnics … but we still got something very special planned.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock">Kid Rock</a> broke the news on Thursday that he was headed back out on tour, but said that if you still “believe in woke, DEI bulls***,” you should probably sit these shows out.
In a video posted on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C&amp;mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;v=931750565713513">Facebook</a>, the rocker — born Robert James Ritchie — said ahead of his birthday on Friday that he wanted to share the news that he was launching an arena tour — with seven shows this spring — to celebrate President-elect Donald Trump’s victory and uniting the country.

“After so many years of taking s*** and being s*** on by the powers that be, the left-wing media, I think a celebration with the fans isn’t only in order, it’s overdue,” Kid Rock said. “You know I still believe that now’s not the time to gloat, it’s definitely time to try to unite this country.”
“But it’s also definitely time to celebrate with some other like-minded, common sense, hard-working, patriots who unapologetically love this country,” he added. “I mean come one come all, I don’t care what your politics are.”
“But if you still believe that men should be in women’s sports or women’s bathrooms are good things,” Ritchie continued. “If you believe in cancel culture, and still believe in political correctness, or if you still believe in all this woke, DEI bulls***, you should probably sit these shows out. You’re probably not going to have too good of a time.&#8221;

Here's All The Celebrities Reportedly Planning To Attend Trump's Second Inauguration

Lee Greenwood

Megyn Kelly

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock">Kid Rock</a> showed up on the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention and sang a new song inspired by former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump</a>.
The 53-year-old rocker &#8212; born Robert James Ritchie &#8212; took the <a href="https://x.com/BenSwann_/status/1814123334805733560">stage</a> and got the crowd riled up, calling on them to raise their fist in the air and say “fight, fight” as the entire room of delegates yelled “fight, fight.”
The comments were reminiscent of what Trump told his supporters following the attempted assassination on the former president’s life at a rally in Pennsylvania, which left one supporter dead and two others, including Trump, injured.
Kid Rock rocked the room with verses about being the “cowboy, I’m the singer in black. Throw your fist in the air, let me see where you at.”
“Say fight, fight,” he <a href="https://x.com/MonicaCrowley/status/1814124759447203934">added</a>. “Say fight, fight. Say Trump, Trump.&#8221;

In one verse, the rocker said “Trump’s the shhh*t,” as the room went wild. Kid Rock sang his new version of his song &#8220;American Bad A**&#8221; as he walked back and forth across the stage with images of the American flag behind him along with walls of fire.
Earlier in the day, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared a behind-the-scenes clip of Kid Rock rehearsing his Trump-themed song.

“Trump supporters will love this. Kid Rock is here at the RNC rehearsing a Trump themed song – here’s a little sample,” Melugin captioned the video on <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1814000254536372415">X</a>.
“More Kid Rock rehearsals at the RNC — reworking American Bada** to make it about Trump &amp; ‘No Show Joe,&#8217;” Melugin added in a second <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1814024142879866958">post</a>, along with a clip of the rehearsal and the rocker singing. “Looks like there’s gonna be quite a show tonight.”
Following the attempted assassination attempt at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, against Trump, Ritchie shared his thoughts, saying in a short video posted to Instagram, “You f*** with Trump, you f*** with me,” as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-rock-says-you-fk-with-trump-you-fk-with-me-after-assassination-attempt">reported</a>.
He also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dana-white-kid-rock-donate-to-fundraiser-for-shooting-victims-surpasses-2-million-in-under-24-hours">donated</a> money to support the innocent rally-goers who were wounded when a shooter opened fire on Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, killing firefighter Corey Comperatore and injuring two in addition to the former president.
Kid Rock performed on the final night of the RNC right before Trump officially accepted the Republican Party’s 2024 nomination.

He also donated money to support the innocent rally-goers who were also wounded when a shooter opened fire on Trump&#8217;s Pennsylvania rally, killing firefighter Corey Comperatore and injuring two in addition to the former president.
Questions still surround the shooting, as many have asked how a potential shooter — who was reportedly a known threat — was able to attain an elevated position with a direct line on Trump.

Joe Biden

Just like the rest of the world, members of the Hollywood community have reacted strongly to the assassination attempt on presidential candidate Donald Trump over the weekend.
While most liberal celebrities kept quiet, there were a few who couldn’t help but comment. The Trump supporters in Tinseltown used their platforms to condemn political violence and reaffirm their support for the presumptive Republican nominee.

Country singer Jason Aldean shared the photo of Trump raising his fist as blood ran down his face just after the bullet grazed his right ear. 
“This is what a Warrior looks like! This is MY guy 🇺🇸,” the recording artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9Y9nRusmez/?igsh=MTBlZjE4YzMxOA%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> on Instagram. “@realdonaldtrump we are thinking about u and praying for you and your family. God has a bigger plan for you my friend and I think we all know what that is by now. My heart goes out to the victims families as well. They are the ones left to pick up the pieces of this cowardly act.”
“You f*** with Trump, you f*** with me,” musician Kid Rock, an avid Trump supporter, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-rock-says-you-fk-with-trump-you-fk-with-me-after-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a>.
“I know the vibes. We are all in trouble now!” rapper 50 Cent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-rock-says-you-fk-with-trump-you-fk-with-me-after-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> alongside a clip of his song “Many Men (Wish Death)” from the album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. The singer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, is famous for being shot nine times.
He wrote in a follow up, “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending.” This post included a photoshopped image of Trump’s face imposed over the album cover for Get Rich or Die Tryin.’

Country star John Rich also chimed in on the situation. “They couldn’t beat him in a fair contest, so they tried to kill him. BUT THEY MISSED,” he <a href="https://x.com/johnrich/status/1812267422944002205" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X. 
“The Middle” actress Patricia Heaton also shared her thoughts, blaming mainstream media rhetoric for inspiring the violence. “Hey MSM &#8211; you and this administration fostered the violence at the rally &#8211; stop calling Trump supporters a ‘threat to our democracy.’ You are the threat,” she <a href="https://x.com/patriciaheaton/status/1812654112552673419?s=51&amp;t=yVg_AIbZC0FnyCtU4qPVYw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
“Imagine the arrogance and narcissism of the shooter who fires into a crowd in his assassination  attempt,” Heaton shared in a separate post. “He clearly didn’t care if he took out a few Trump supporters because in his mind they don’t deserve to live either. This is the depth to which our politics has sunk.”
Even “Superman” had some thoughts. Actor Dean Cain wrote, “It&#8217;s 3am&#8230;and there&#8217;s a phone in the White House, and it&#8217;s ringing&#8230; who do you want to answer that call?  No question about it! #Trump2024,” he <a href="https://x.com/realdeancain/status/1812363167257055452?s=51&amp;t=yVg_AIbZC0FnyCtU4qPVYw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X alongside the image of Trump just after the attempt on his life.

Actress Roseanne Barr reacted to a post from Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) blaming Republicans for the attack since the shooter was registered as a party member.
“I was waiting for them to blame us for this too,” Barr wrote. “The gaslight war is over: these people have no power left. Chinese spy fornicator and fellow pant sh**er Swalwell is purposely ignoring an act blue donation and open primaries where Dems were urged to register as republicans to hurt Trump in the primaries.”
“These people are evil,” she added.
Fitness instructor Jillian Michaels also expressed her horror at what happened. “It shouldn&#8217;t matter what side you are on to feel appalled and horrified.  We MUST take a step back / put the differences aside / and come together,” she <a href="https://x.com/JillianMichaels/status/1812268026160628104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X just after the incident on July 13. “My prayers are with the president and my heart is with our country &#8211; every American in it.”

Billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk endorsed Trump for president just after the assassination attempt. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1812256998588662068" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X.
Leftist actress and activist Ashley Judd <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9YgE33xgEU/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> by saying she believed in defeating Trump, but not with violence.
“All political violence of all kinds in all settings against all people is wrong,” she posted on Instagram. “I want Donald Trump defeated. I would never want him hurt. He is a human with a family, just as I am. My Pop and I hope he is okay and send encouragement to his family.”
“Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston also shared his thoughts, speaking about gun violence generally. “This is a tragic day,” he wrote on social media. “We must be honest and acknowledge (with deep regret) that shootings are a common method of conflict resolution in our society. And that there seems to be a confounding disregard for the ubiquity of gun violence.”
Cranston added, “I’m relieved that Mr. Trump wasn’t severely injured, and I hope that he and the attendees seek emotional help to ease the trauma they experienced. My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims of this senseless act.”
“I believe that we can be better. We need to be better… but at some point, shootings stopped being shocking &#8211; and that is what’s shocking,” the actor wrote.
“Trump remains an existential threat to democracy. We’ll defeat him with ballots, not bullets,” “Star Trek” actor George Takei <a href="https://x.com/georgetakei/status/1812509098207801446?s=51&amp;t=yVg_AIbZC0FnyCtU4qPVYw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X.

“How do you miss all those shots fired?” singer M.I.A. <a href="https://x.com/MIAuniverse/status/1812274975287787836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
Actor Jack Black, who just participated in a Democratic fundraiser for President Biden a few weeks ago, faced major backlash during an Australian stop with his band, Tenacious D. Black presented bandmate Kyle Gass with an opportunity to make a birthday wish while onstage, prompting Gass to reply “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Black endured major criticism following the event until he eventually distanced himself from the band and tour several days later.
“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black said in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blindsided-jack-black-axes-tour-after-bandmate-cheers-trump-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, per USA Today. “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”
