Kid Rock reveals plan of bringing infamous 'Trump-hater' to the White House to 'unite the country'

Kid Rock said the celebrity had 'done nothing but talk smack about the president since day one'

Kid Rock has announced he's 'going to try and unite this country', and reckons inviting one of Donald Trump's fiercest critics to have dinner with the president is the way to do it.

Rockstar Kid Rock has been a very public supporter of Donald Trump and now hopes to pair the president up with one of his greatest critics.

Not in the romantic sense, at least we don’t think.

While speaking on the Glenn Beck Podcast recently, Rock said pairing Trump with this dinner guest had the potential to unite the left and right at a time of turmoil.

The person the musician had in mind? Comedian and late night TV host Bill Maher.

Maher has never really shied away from his criticisms of the president, just last week mocking Trump for his address to the joint session of Congress.

Maher quipped: “To me, the telling line in the speech was when he said, ‘I realized there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy, or to make them stand or smile or applaud.' It's all about love."

Maher added: "You know, he's a little boy who did not get enough love, I guess.

"It sounds like a relationship fight. You know, 'There's nothing I can say to make you smile.”

But Rock hasn’t let this deter him and says his plans to unite the country would be focused on the pair finding common ground.

He even added Maher was ‘actually more reasonable than a lot of people on the right would think.’

Speaking on the podcast, he said: “I’m actually going to try and unite this country, and I’m starting at the end of the month. I’m taking Bill Maher to the White House for dinner. This guy who has done nothing but talk smack about the president since day one.

“I was doing [Maher’s] podcast, I said, if I could hook you guys up … and trust me, there’s a lot more people deserving at that table for dinner so it’s a big deal to me to bring [Maher] there and to even have the president be like, ‘yeah, do it, let’s do it.'

“Let’s start at the top with [two] very public figures — a television comedian and president of the free world — and we can just break bread, have some laughs, take a picture and be like, ‘hey, you know, we don’t agree on everything, but we got along.”

It is not clear if Maher knows he is about to be invited to this dinner, but if it could simply tone down the heated rhetoric between the political opposites, let’s hope he is free that evening.
