Kid Rock says Donald Trump sought his advice on North Korea and Islamic State
“I was there with [Trump] one day when he ended the caliphate,” Kid Rock, 51 and born Robert Ritchie, told Carlson in reference to 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’.”
He also said he and Trump 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.’”

Kid Rock was probably just as knowledgeable on these topics as Donald Trump. 
to make the only celebrity in his "entourage" feel welcome and meaningful. When all you have is Bob Ritchie, Steven Seagal, and Ted Nugent in your "celebrity" bank you have to guard them like the Crown Jewels.
Oh, I forgot Kanye, or "Ye", or whatever he's calling himself this week.
What a stable of stars Drumpf has in his corner, huh?
