Kid Rock hails Trump as ‘dragon slayer’ battling wokeness and cancel culture

Kid Rock praises Trump as ‘greatest president ever’ while discussing his ‘Rock N Rodeo’ event in Texas

Kid Rock has called President Donald Trump a “dragon slayer” for forcing awakening movements, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and boycott culture, to “get out of the building.”

“I think awakening, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and boycott culture are slowly disappearing, and we can thank President Trump for leading that revolution again. I call him a dragon slayer in that sense, because he came along and dealt a fatal blow to DEI and awakening,”

In the interview, the musician acknowledged that there will always be a certain level of boycott culture in society, but he would not participate in it.

“There’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’m not into seeing people lose their jobs over some corporate decision that was made.

“But sometimes there needs 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’s all good. Let’s get back on track,’” he said.

“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.”

Kid Rock shared his own opinion on how society should be run.

“I do think it’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’t know how we got here, because to me, that’s just common sense, that’s just the ultimate, highest level of common sense that just the best and the hardest workers rise to the top. It doesn’t matter, anything else,” he said.

Kid Rock, a longtime supporter of the sitting president, praised Trump for being the “greatest president ever.”

“My thoughts on President Trump’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,” he said.

Kid Rock continued, “You know I call myself the American bad—, but I think I got to ride shotgun on that moniker when I’m with the president. Just somebody who loves this country unapologetically, and fights for it every single day.”

Kid Rock said he’s thankful the president won in a “landslide victory,” which he predicted.”I remind him every day that, don’t forget Mr. President. I was like, ‘We can deal with reasonable people on the left.’ That’s no problem, I go, ‘But there’s a lot of bad actors. Their goal, at the highest level, is to lock you up and take everything you had.’ I go, ‘and that we can’t forget. Those people need to be dealt with.’ But other than that, love everybody. Let’s bring this country together,” he said.
