Did Kid Rock just deliver the wildest moment of the Republican convention?

On his way to the Republican National Convention, Kid Rock paused at the airport to post a message to fans, teasing the performance he was about to deliver: “Are you scared?”

Maybe? The Detroit musician’s warm-up act for presidential candidate Donald Trump was the kind of high-voltage, no-holds-barred rock/rap that Succession’s Kendall Roy must have only dreamt he could deliver.

In a move evoking Trump’s response to the assassination attempt he survived last weekend, Rock opened by telling the crowd to stand up: “I need everybody to put a fist up in the air!”

Some obliged, most joined the chants of “Fight! Fight!” and “Trump! Trump!”. Very few seemed to know quite how to dance to the enthusiastic reworking of American Bad Ass from the musician’s 2000 album.

Kid Rock, who was dressed in black and wore a chunky metal crucifix necklace, was not the only celebrity to show up for Trump this week.

An hour or so before, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) dished out a string of wrestling analogies on stage, pointing to Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance and saying: “I see the greatest tag team of my life, standing upon us, getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real Americans.”

He whipped off his jacket, tore his top in half and described Trump, “that gladiator”, as his hero.

Not all the celebrities who lent support this week are long-time Trump fans. Amber Rose, a former Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, turned up to speak highly of Trump and his wife, Melania.
