Kid Rock rolls out line of pro-Trump merchandise

Source: Freep

Weeks after a series of digitally altered photos went viral, Kid Rock is capitalizing on the phenomenon by unveiling a line of pro- (and profane) Donald Trump merchandise.

Fans had circulated Photoshopped pictures of Rock, an avowed Trump supporter, bearing T-shirt slogans applauding the president-elect and his successful campaign. While the images' authenticity was promptly debunked, the viral success led the Detroit rocker to roll out his own line of similarly themed merchandise, including a Trump-style hat that reads "MAKE AMERICA BADASS AGAIN," a shirt reading "GOD GUNS & TRUMP" and another declaring America's vast swath of red states to be the genuine "United States of America."

"Due to overwhelming demand, we decided to go ahead and make this & other current event merch," he posted today.

Rock is one of several Detroit music stars to take a high-profile stand this election year, joined on the pro-Trump side by rocker Ted Nugent. Eminem, meantime, issued a web single dissing the candidate's supporters, while Jack White played off a White Stripes album title by selling "Icky Trump" T-shirts. In more recent days, Rochester Hills-raised Madonna has been making headlines for her slams of the incoming Republican president.

who leeched hip hop culture with his psuedo rapping, ingratiated himself on RUN DMC, and when he gets a hit with Sheryl Crow, transformed back into the ingrate he probably always was....

I know we're missing out on so much, like crappy cover mashups that simultaneously ruin two classic rock songs at once!
