Kid Rock: Trump asked for advice on ISIS, North Korea

Kid Rock says former President Trump asked him for messaging advice on foreign policy, including the fight against ISIS and diplomacy with North Korea, during his time in the White House.

During a wide-ranging interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson that aired this week, Kid Rock recounted a conversation he says he had with Trump on a golf course around the time Trump had ordered a series of attacks on ISIS targets in the Middle East.

"I mean, I was there with him one day when he ended the caliphate. He wanted to put out a tweet. And it was like — I don't like to speak out of school. I hope I'm not. But he said something like, he was like, tell him like — yes, the tweet was — and I'm paraphrasing — but it was like, if you ever joined the caliphate, and trying to do this, you're going to be dead," the rocker said. "He goes, what do you think? I go, awesome. ... Like, yes, tweet that out. I was like, I can't add anything better than."

We had no idea how bad off we were. What else is going to come out about how clueless that fool was as being president?
