![Melania Trump]()
Kid Rock is one of the number one supporters of former President Trump, but Melania Trump might be a tougher sell.
Last night during the Republican National Convention, Kid Rock performed a tweaked rendition of "American Bad A**," hyping up the crowd before Donald Trump took the stage to speak for the first time since an assassination attempt was made on his life. During the performance coverage last night, one of the best moments was the crowd's reaction to Rock's over-the-top and rock-star stage presence. The folks dressed as business professionals were unsure what to do with themselves, leading to some
top-tier TV watching.
But this morning, after the public had time to rewatch and analyze the video after the real-time footage, the internet can not get enough of former First Lady Melania Trump's reaction to Kid Rock.
Shock, disgust, or confusion could all be used to describe the expression on her face. But one thing is for sure...it's damn funny. I genuinely think Melania was in the same boat as all the other viewers in the audience, just confused about how to act in such a buttoned-up environment with someone like Kid Rock on stage.
Given she was wearing her emotions on her face last night, it did not help that CNN did a perfect pan from Kid Rock to Melania.
Someone needs to give those producers a raise because it looks like the kind of pan-and-zoom reaction you'd find on The Office.
X (formally Twitter) is having a heyday with the footage and making some hilarious content. Despite Melania's seeming distaste for the performance, you can't lie... Kid Rock knows how to put on a show. It doesn't matter if it's at a country music festival or convention full of politicians... he's gonna bring it.

Kid Rock Donates $50,000 To Victims Of Trump Rally Shooting
Ol' Bob Ritchie stepping up.
There's been an outpouring of support since the shocking attack on former President Donald Trump last weekend at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that left the Republican nominee for president injured and killed one member of the crowd. Two others at the rally are also in critical condition at a local hospital.
We recently learned that the victim who passed away was a 50-year old former fire chief named Corey Comperatore, who spent his final moments shielding his wife and daughter from the bullets of a madman.
A GoFundMe has been set up for Comperatore's family, which has already raised over $140,000 in under three hours. And another fundraiser, set up by the Trump campaign to benefit all of the victims of the attack, has raised over $6 million in less than a week.
The GoFundMe, which was established by Trump's campaign finance director Meredith O'Rourke, has already received large donations from names like former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, political commentator Ben Shapiro and Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
But the largest donation so far has come from one of Trump's most outspoken supporters, Kid Rock.
Kid Rock has donated $50,000 to the fundraiser, after being one of the first to speak out after the attack yesterday in a video posted to his social media:

Meanwhile, in a heartbreaking post, Allyson Comperatore recalled how her father protected her in his final moments:
"The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero. They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground. They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.
He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us. And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. I want nothing more than to wake up and for this to not be reality for me and my family.
We lost a selfless, loving husband, father, brother, uncle, son, and friend. And I will never stop thinking about him and mourning him until the day that I die too. July 13th will forever be a day that changed my life. I will never be the same person I was less than 24 hours ago.
There are a lot of children out there that say their dad is their hero, but my dad really is mine. I don't think I would be here today without him.
Dad, I love you so much that there aren't enough words to express how deep that love goes. I know you'll give heaven some hell. I know that God is proud of the man that came to His gates yesterday."
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Rest in peace to this real-life hero, and prayers that everybody who was affected is able to find peace in this terrible time.
RNC Crowd Tries To Dance To Kid Rock
Love him or hate him, Kid Rock knows how to put on a show.
The American Badass has been one of the most outspoken supporters of President Donald Trump, and the two have even been spotted on the golf course together in the past.

This past Saturday, after the attempted assassination of Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Kid Rock (whose real name is Bob Ritchie) had a strong message of support for the 45th president and current Republican nominee:
And tonight, ol' Kid Rock took center stage at the Republican National Convention for a special performance for his favorite president.
Kid Rock delivered a spirited version of "American Bad Ass," his 2000 song from his album
The History of Rock. And as you can imagine, he remixed the lyrics to praise Trump before introducing the former president as "the most American badass to ever walk the earth."
Not gonna lie, the best part of the whole thing might have been seeing the crowd shots of all the old white people who clearly weren't sure what to do with themselves during a Kid Rock performance.

What a scene.
Jason & Brittany Spotted Sitting Beside Donald Trump
Jason Aldean is another one of Trump's most outspoken supporters in country music. The two have spent time together in the past, with Trump even once introducing Aldean at a New Years Eve party as "number one in the world."
Let's take a look back at that introduction from the president:
“Right now, he’s the number one in the world, he won every award last week, he won every award last year… he’s gotta be making a fortune, Brittany, what do you think?
Ladies and gentleman, number one in the world, number one in our country, Mr. Jason Aldean.”
Number one at what? Who knows. What awards did Jason win the week after Christmas? Who knows. But a pretty ringing endorsement for Aldean.
And Trump also supported Aldean amid the controversy over his single "Try That In A Small Town" last year:
“Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!”

Meanwhile, Aldean has been a vocal supporter of Trump, speaking out against the former president's recent conviction in New York City and even parodying Trump and president Joe Biden alongside his wife Brittany (with Trump's permission) last Halloween.

Well it seems that Trump and Aldean were able to catch up today at the Republican National Convention, with Jason and Brittany spotted sitting next to the former president and current GOP nominee on the final night of the RNC.

Aldean isn't scheduled to perform or speak at the convention, although Kid Rock is expected to perform ahead of Trump's remarks tonight.
