Kid Rock’s appearance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee’s closing night stirred a range of reactions, from fervent applause to uncomfortable silence. Amid his spirited performance, the controversial musician made a provocative statement that left many attendees puzzled.
Addressing the predominantly older audience, Kid Rock rallied support for former President Donald Trump with his signature bravado. “If you’re ready for President Trump to take the stage,” he shouted, “I need everybody to stand up! Put a fist up in the air!”
In his typical style, Kid Rock delivered a charged rendition, interspersing lyrics that included a cryptic line about the atmosphere: “I know it stinks in here ’cause Trump’s the shhhh.”
The line caused a rift among the audience. While some enthusiastically embraced it, others visibly showed discomfort or confusion, possibly reflecting on allegations about Trump’s purported unpleasant odor.
