During a recent visit to the Oval Office with President Donald Trump, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy reportedly humorously critiqued Kid Rock’s striking outfit, which was heavily adorned in patriotic red, white, and blue.
The musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was present for Trump’s signing of an executive order targeting ticket scalping, a practice that inflates prices for fans in the live entertainment industry.
As Trump sat behind the Resolute Desk, he turned to Doocy, asking whether former President Biden had held news conferences like this one.
Doocy took the opportunity to roast Kid Rock, quipping, “No. He’s never stood next to someone who looks like they were about to get shot out of a cannon.”
This quick remark elicited laughter from Trump and cheers from Kid Rock, who applauded and hugged Doocy in response.
The executive order, aimed at improving the ticket market, directs Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi to crack down on tax evasion linked to scalpers, while the Federal Trade Commission is also instructed to work with the Justice Department to combat anti-competitive practices in the industry.
In subsequent coverage on “Fox & Friends,” Doocy’s funny jab was met with amusement from his father, fellow Fox anchor Steve Doocy. Kid Rock, who has been an outspoken critic of the secondary ticket market, praised Trump’s efforts, advocating for legislation to ensure fair ticket prices for fans.
Overall, the lighthearted exchange highlighted both the unique fashion choices of Kid Rock and the ongoing conversation about fairness in the live entertainment industry.
