Kid Rock said he’s endorsing Republican front-runner Donald Trump for president, saying he’s a fan of the idea of letting a businessman run the country like a business.
The rock singer, who campaigned with Mitt Romney in 2012, told Rolling Stone that he’s backing Mr. Trump this time around in part because his campaign has been “entertaining as [expletive].”
“I’m digging Trump,” Kid Rock said. “I feel like a lot of people, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, feel like if you get Hillary or Bernie, or you get Rubio or Cruz or whoever, there’s going to be the same [expletive]. Has that much [expletive] changed when anyone’s in office, whether it’s been a Republican or a Democrat in office, in our lifetime, anyway? I haven’t really seen this big, like, [expletive] change. Obviously some people [expletive] up. [Laughs] That’s a long debate. My feeling: let the mother-[expletive] business guy run it like a [expletive] business. And his campaign has been entertaining as [expletive].”
Asked whether he believes Mr. Trump can win the GOP nomination, Kid Rock said: “I think he will. To me, I’m just like, ‘We gotta try something else,’ and … I’m not an expert at political science or anything. I do try to follow things, obviously. I’m a pretty good, tax-paying citizen of this country. [Laughs] Let the business guy in there. It’s not really working too well running it not like a business. I mean, what business [expletive] survives when they’re [expletive] broke?”
