  • Detroit singer-songwriter Kid Rock famously supported Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election (They say Obama is lyin'/ That's why I’m voting for Romney and Ryan), and he jumped on the Donald Trump bandwagon early, calling the campaign entertaining as shit and predicting in a February 2016 interview with Rolling Stone that his candidate would win the GOP nomination: Trump not only won the Republican primary, but went on to confound pollsters and pundits alike by besting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the general election. Within days of Trump's victory, an image went viral via social media depicting Rock wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a 2016 electoral map with the red states (carried by Trump) labeled United States of America and the blue states (carried by Clinton) labeled Dumbfuckistan: While such shirts do exist, however, the above image of Kid Rock wearing one isn't real. The map and caption were photoshopped onto this 2013 photo of Rock performing — in a plain black t-shirt — in Melbourne, Australia: And the same image has been altered to hawk other Trump-related merchandise, as well: Update: On 6 December 2016, the official Kid Rock Facebook page announced that the Dumbf*ckistan t-shirt may now be purchased along with other Kid Rock merchandise via the Warner Bros. Records web site: (en)
