It’s well-known how much Kid Rock and former President Donald Trump get along. Rock (born Robert James Ritchie) even shared that the former President consulted him on military questions. But what’s not as well-known is what a song written by the 52-year-old Michigan-born Rock would sound like trumpeting Trump. What would Rock write, and how would he deliver the tune?

Well, those are excellent questions that we sought the answers to. With an assist from the hottest technology around, our old friends at ChatGPT. This is what an ode to the former President from Kid Rock might resemble. Enjoy.
“A Man I Know”
(Verse 1)
Well, let me tell you ’bout a man I know
He’s got the power and he’s got the flow
He’s a straight shooter, ain’t afraid to speak his mind
Yeah, you know who I’m talkin’ ’bout, it’s Trump time
(Chorus)
Oh, Donny, Donny, you’re a real maverick
You’re like a lightning bolt, sendin’ shockwaves quick
You stirred the pot, made the liberals squirm
Donny, Donny, you know how to make heads turn
(Verse 2)
He built a fortune, he built a brand
He’s got the art of the deal right in his hand
He took on the system, didn’t play by their rules
Yeah, he’s a rebel, they called him a fool
(Chorus)
Oh, Donny, Donny, you’re a real maverick
You’re like a lightning bolt, sendin’ shockwaves quick
You stirred the pot, made the liberals squirm
Donny, Donny, you know how to make heads turn
(Bridge)
Now, some folks may say he’s a divisive man
But he’s got a vision, yeah, he’s got a plan
He’s got the country on his mind every day
And he won’t stop fightin’ come what may
(Verse 3)
He took on China, put America first
He shook things up, that’s why he’s cursed
He faced the media, never backed down
Yeah, he’s a fighter, wears the MAGA crown
(Chorus)
Oh, Donny, Donny, you’re a real maverick
You’re like a lightning bolt, sendin’ shockwaves quick
You stirred the pot, made the liberals squirm
Donny, Donny, you know how to make heads turn
(Outro)
So here’s to Trump, a man of conviction
Love him or hate him, he made an impact mission
He fought for the people, that’s what he did
And that’s why Kid Rock stands by him, no matter what they say, kid
Final Thoughts
Are we crazy or is this the best Kid Rock song since “Bawitdaba”? It’s got a tight rhythm, a clear message, and a point of view. If Kid Rock wants to take this single and run with it, you can Venmo us. (Just kidding)
