WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 11: (AFP OUT) U.S. President Donald Trump shakes hands with Kid Rock prior signing a H.R. 1551, the 'Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act' during a ceremony in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on October 11, 2018 in Washington, DC.

Donald Trump and Kid Rock inexplicably get a hero’s welcome after showing up at UFC together

The unlikely bedfellows inadvertently revealed the demographic.

It sounds like the buildup to a bad joke, but Donald Trump and Kid Rock really did make an appearance together at last night’s UFC 287 event at the behest of owner Dana White, where they were inexplicably treated like heroes.

Obviously, people are allowed to react however they want to whatever they want, but it certainly shouldn’t be overlooked that we’re talking about the first current or former president in the history of the United States to ever face criminal charges – as well as the only one to be impeached twice – and somebody who took an assault rifle to several cases of beer after the company partnered with a transgender woman.

In an even crueler twist of irony, UFC’s parent company Endeavor recently purchased wrestling giant WWE from Vince McMahon, who has a long history with Trump that includes multiple WrestleMania appearances, an infamous “Battle of the Billionaires” match, and an induction into the outfit’s Hall of Fame, so we’ve got a pretty good impression of which direction the combat sports giant is leaning, politically speaking.

The most galling thing is that despite their incendiary, inflammatory, and controversial reputations both separately and together, the unexpected guests almost took the roof off the building when they emerged to take their seats.

Just another day in the weird and wild life of the orange-faced antagonist, then, and you can imagine Kid Rock was beside himself with glee to sit so close to one of his heroes, even if Bud Light definitely wasn’t their beverage of choice.
