President Donald Trump also addressed the incident this afternoon when he was asked about the military performing a fly-by of his friend’s house in Apache helicopters.

Trump said while he hadn’t seen the video, he admitted that it probably wasn’t the best decision by the pilots:

“I didn’t see it, but I’m sure they had a good time. …

They probably shouldn’t have been doing it, yes, you’re not supposed to be playing games, right? But I’d take a look at it. They like Kid Rock, I like Kid Rock. Maybe they were trying to defend him, I don’t know.”

When asked about the investigation by local news station WKRN, Kid Rock said that he had previously interacted with the pilots involved and invited them to fly by the Southern White House:

“I was there last Thanksgiving with JD Vance, and I’ve talked to some of these pilots, and I told them, ‘You guys see me waving when you come by the house, you guys are always welcome to cruise by my house like any time.’”

He also suspected that everything would work out for the pilots:

“I think they’re going to be alright — my buddy is the Commander in Chief.”

Guess he was right.

If you’re not familiar with Kid Rock’s replica White House, the 27,000-square foot, two bedroom home sits on a hill overlooking Nashville and features a golden elevator in the middle of the house, as well as golden showers in the bathroom.

Can’t really blame the pilots for wanting to see that.
