Trump Phoned Kid Rock About Strippers and Inauguration Rally

Kid Rock said President-elect Donald Trump personally phoned him to inquire about whether the Secret Service banned the rock singer from having strippers on stage at a Trump rally set to take place Sunday in Washington D.C.

The “Bawitdaba” hitmaker told Fox & Friends Sunday that Trump got second-hand word of a joke he’d made and, not knowing whether it was serious, called to see if the federal law enforcement agency had indeed banned pole dancers from his victory rally at Capital One Arena.

“Friday morning I got a call from the President and [Trump’s spouse] Melania and it was kind of mind-blowing, I’ve tried to leave him alone, he’s got a lot on his plate, I would think, right now,” Kid Rock told the Fox News morning chat show. “He called and he goes, ‘Did the Secret Service really tell you that you can’t use strippers?‘”

Kid Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, said he let Trump know he wasn’t being serious: “No, sir, I was just joking around.”

“Ah, that’s funny,” Trump replied, according to his recall.

He told Fox & Friends that he will perform four songs at Sunday’s rally, including “something old, something new.”

Kid Rock also disclosed that Trump consulted him, impromptu, about whether to hold his Inauguration ceremony indoors.

The singer was somewhat flustered that the President-elect would ask the writer of tunes like “You Never Met A Motherf—er Quite Like Me" and “Redneck Paradise” for input on such an historic event.

The D.C. metro area is the subject of extreme cold forecasts Monday, which ultimately led Trump to move the ceremony indoors.

Kid Rock recalled Trump’s words on the phone: “‘Let me ask you a question-people could really have a bad experience, maybe some people could get hurt, our first responders—what do you think about me moving the inauguration indoors?‘"

“I’m like—uhhhhh," he said, pointing at himself and miming confusion.
