Child Rock and previous President Trump had been shut because the former first visited the latter within the White Space in 2017, resulting in a viral symbol of Child Rock, Ted Nugent, and Sarah Palin flanking a grinning Trump in the back of the Resolute Table within the Oval Place of work. Child Rock and Trump was so shut, the rocker advised Tucker Carlson in an interview that aired Monday night time on Fox Information, that Trump sought his recommendation on a slightly subtle geopolitical coverage factor.
“We’re taking a look at maps and shit, and I’m like, ‘Am I intended to be in in this shit?’ Child Rock mentioned. “I make grimy data from time to time. ‘What do you assume we will have to do about North Korea?’ I’m like, ‘What? I don’t assume I’m certified to reply to this.’”

Child Rock additionally mentioned Trump requested his opinion on a tweet about ISIS. “I used to be there sooner or later when he ended the caliphate,” Child Rock mentioned. “He sought after to place out a tweet. The tweet was once, and I’m paraphrasing, it was once like when you ever sign up for the caliphate and also you take a look at to try this, you’re going to be useless. He is going, ‘What do you recall to mind this?’ I used to be like, ‘Superior. Tweet that out. I will be able to’t upload the rest higher than that.’ Then it comes out and it’s reworded and extra politically proper.”
Child Rock didn’t say a lot else right through the interview, outdoor of re-hashed, milquetoast statements about how he hates Anthony Fauci (“Fuck Fauci”) and will’t be canceled, in addition to different speaking issues from his right-wing tradition warrior technology. “I’m uncancelable … You’ll’t cancel me. I adore it when they are trying,” he mentioned. “To you critics, haters, and trolls — pass fuck your self,” he added. This remaining barnburner of a remark in point of fact appeared to titillate Carlson, who let free with a smile as broad as his V-neck sweater.
The feedback about Trump have been eyebrow-raising, however no longer unexpected.
Trump has a historical past of soliciting recommendation from unqualified pals, industry leaders, and popular culture figures on delicate governmental issues. The previous president reportedly became to former New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez for recommendation on how one can deal with Covid-19 because it was once starting to unfold within the spring of 2020. Trump additionally often calls pals to vent about present occasions. Previous this month video emerged of him ranting to golfer John Daly about how he was once pals with Vladimir Putin and the way Russia would have by no means invaded Ukraine if he have been nonetheless president.
It sort of feels like Child Rock has a spot close to the entrance of the previous president’s rolodex, as neatly. “It’s in point of fact bizarre to get telephone calls from him and stuff,” he advised Carlson. “It’s more or less mind-blowing.”
