Kid Rock (aka Robert James Ritchie) has been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump since his last term and performed at RNC 2024 in Milwaukee on July 18. During the performance, Melanie Trump, Donald Trump's wife, was seen in the stands, and some netizens noticed that she appeared to be struggling to control a chuckle.
The clip of the incident went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions on X. One netizen commented on the surfaced video:
"It is difficult not to laugh at him, I understand her struggle"
Others shared similar sentiments:
"Melania face during kid rock like who the f cares about kid rock," one fan on X opined.
"Melania Trump trying not to laugh at Kid Rock is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen," another commented.
Many on social media slammed Rock and his performance for the unexpected reaction from Melania Trump:
"No one takes Richie A.K.A @KidRock seriously," one person commented.
"I gotta admit, I’m with her on this one. But I guess it gets at the beer chiggin pop," another fan declared.
"I mean that’s a normal reaction to him," one fan on X quipped.
The jokes continued, with one user commenting that she would be desperate to run away and find a place to drink, despite not drinking, if she had to sit through a Kid Rock performance.
"I swear I would have an uncontrollable giggle fit, get up and leave whilst rolling my eyes violently, and then find any source for a drink. And I don’t drink," a fan wrote.
"I don’t blame her," another fan agreed.
"I think she saw his bandage and was trying not to laugh. Did she go on stage at all to be with his family?" another fan questioned.
Despite the banter, some Kid Rock followers also turned up and supported their favorite artists:
"He’s an acquired taste," one fan opined.
"Sad, but true...," another person commented.
Kid Rock donated $50,000 to victims of attempted assassination of Donald Trump
Kid Rock recently donated $50,000 to the victims of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, an incident that has disrupted the US presidential race. Although Trump escaped with a scratch on his right year, the subsequent shootings resulted in two injuries and one death.
The singer also altered the lyrics of his performance of the song American Bad A** to include the lines "Fight! Fight! Fight!" which were famously uttered by Donald Trump right after his assassination attempt.
In his RNC speech, Trump, after vowing to be president again, credited divine intervention as the only force that saved him from being shot in the middle of his head during the assassination attempt. Trump stated:
"I felt very safe, because I had God on my side...I am not supposed to be here tonight. I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty God. Many people say it was a providential moment."
Trump also expressed his desire for widespread national support. He further added:
"I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America."
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has recently tested positive for COVID, and his health issues have raised questions about his candidacy.
