Kid Rock Joins Trump to Sign Concert Ticket Executive Ordnance
Kid Rock and Donald Trump appeared in the Oval Office Monday night for what is now a daily ritual of the president: signing an executive order.
The EO this time was aimed specifically at ticket-scalping. The order directs that the Federal Trade Commission work with the Attorney-General to ensure that laws are enforced.
The entertainer in a red-white-blue outfit said that ticket resellers are the culprits. They use bots and algorithms to buy up large blocks of concert tickets, driving the price up.
Kid Rock stated that “Anyone who bought a ticket to a concert in the past decade, or maybe even 20 years knows it’s a conundrum.” “… The ticket brokers get the best tickets for your favorite concerts, but then they relist them immediately, sometimes at a 40
or 500 percent increase.
He said that artists do not see any of this money. “I think this is an excellent first step.” I’d love to see legislation in the future that would cap the resale price of tickets.
Trump called Kid Rock “Bob” for his real first name, Robert James Ritchie. Kid Rock is arranging a meeting between Trump and Bill Maher. Maher has been making Trump laugh with his jokes for years. One source said that the rocker’s presence could be a sign of upcoming meetings. Maher’s representatives and the White House did not respond when asked for comments.
Trump said on Truth Social that he received a phone call from Kid Rock on Sunday. “He asked me if it was possible to meet Bill Maher in the White House. He has unjustifiably criticized anything or anyone. TRUMP. It was an interesting idea, even though I didn’t really like it at the time. No matter how much your favorite president, ME, likes him, he’ll publicly proclaim that I am a horrible guy, etc. This is very similar to what the Democrats did at my recent Address before the Joint Session Congress where I correctly stated that they would not stand, applaud, smile or laugh, and certainly wouldn’t act in a “nice” manner. Anyhow, I am doing a favour for a good friend. I’m looking forward to meeting Bill Maher, Kid Rock, and I believe even Dana White, the legendary comedian. You will be the first ones to know whether it is fun or not.
