LOL! Trump just announced he'll have Kid Rock headlining his fundraiser in Nashville on February 22 [View all]
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trump-is-countering-taylor-swift-with-kid-rockWhen right-wing provocateur Jack Posobiec took the stage at Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA alternate RNC event a couple of days ago, he addressed the Taylor Swift effect on the upcoming 2024 presidential election, airing some of his conspiracies. But he gave the deranged faithful some hope on the horizon - that MAGA had celebrities of their own that they were prepared to roll out to counter Swift's influence and popularity. He cited Kid Rock, washed up has-been Ted Nugent (who avoided going to Vietnam by spreading feces all over himself before the draft physical), and ancient actor Jon Voight, who hasn't posted one of his creepy, messianic Trump worshipping videos in three months.
Most people on social media got a great laugh over the idea that Kid, Nugent and Voight could come even remotely close to the influence of Swift on an election since they only appeal to a tiny segment of the population that is already very much in the MAGA camp. But Donald Trump apparently didn't think it was a joke.
Trump just announced that he is holding a major fundraiser for his campaign in Nashville, TN on February 22, and the headliner is none other than, you guessed it, Kid Rock himself. The advertisement lists several Tennessee elected officials planning to attend as well, including Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty, and most of the congressional delegation. Getting a chance to see Marsha Blackburn dancing to 'American Badass' might alone be worth the price of admission, until you see those prices.
You can get in the door for $1,000, but for the bargain price of just $23,000 you can get a photo taken with Trump (maybe even Kid), and get VIP seating to listen to the same speech Trump has given 1,824 times. Attendees will then leave the event to complain on social media about gas prices and inflation.
