MAGA fan and musician Kid Rock sent tongues wagging as he visited Donald Trump in Washington, DC on Monday but it turns out he lives in his own replica version of the White House.
The 54-year-old Bawitdaba hitmaker lives atop the hills outside of Nashville, Tennessee in a mini version of the official residence and workplace of the president of the United States which took 20 years to build.
Of all the amenities – which no doubt seems to be an homage to Trump – surely the most talked about is the gold urinal.
As if that is not enough gold the entire bathroom is glittered in the gilt as the toilet, wall tiles, mirrors, and fixtures are all in the metallic color.
The 27,000 square foot estate was featured in a June 2022 episode of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Originals: Life Of A Rockstar.
Kid Rock’s home showcases his patriotism and faith as it includes a massive United States flag and even has a church.

Other amenities include a gas station, barbershop, and a bowling alley.
One massive difference between The White House and Kid Rock’s house is that the original one has 16 bedrooms while the rockstar’s only features two.
Kid Rock has been a much talked about figure this week as he was in attendance when President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at protecting fans from ‘exploitative ticket scalping’ and reforming the U.S. live entertainment ticketing industry.
Trump signed the directive in the Oval Office, with singer Kid Rock standing next to him in a patriotic American flag-themed outfit.
Kid Rock said ticket scalpers’ use of bots to buy large numbers of tickets at face value and then selling them for a profit is a big problem in the industry.
‘I want the fans to have fair ticket prices,’ Kid Rock said, adding that legislation was eventually needed to cap ticket purchases.
Trump called Kid Rock, who performed at last summer’s Republican National Convention, a ‘friend.’
‘So it’s an honor to have you back, a friend of mine, Kid Rock, sometimes referred to as Bob. I know him as Bob. But he’s been a good friend for a long time, many years, and he’s been after something that is for the good of a lot of people,’ Trump said.

Kid Rock’s real name is Robert James Ritchie.
‘And I think Bob is more interested in the fans … It bothers him,’ Trump said. ‘It bothers a lot of other artists too.’
The order directs Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to ensure that ticket scalpers are in full compliance with the tax-collecting Internal Revenue Service and other applicable law, a White House fact sheet said.
It also orders the Federal Trade Commission to work with the U.S. attorney to ensure that competition laws are appropriately enforced in the concert and entertainment industry, according to the fact sheet.
The Justice Department and dozens of state attorneys general sued Live Nation Entertainment and its ticket-selling unit, Ticketmaster, last year for allegedly monopolizing markets across the live concert industry in ways that hurt artists and fans.
Live Nation Entertainment issued a statement on Monday in support of Trump’s order and thanked him for trying to address scalpers and bots.
‘We support any meaningful resale reforms – including more enforcement of the BOTS act, caps on resale prices, and more,’ the firm said.
In January, senators assailed Live Nation Entertainment’s lack of transparency and inability to block bot purchases of tickets, in a hearing called after a major fiasco involving ticket sales for a Taylor Swift concert tour.

Ticketmaster, which has been unpopular with fans for years, drew fresh heat from lawmakers over how it handled ticket sales last fall for Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour, her first in five years.
Experts say Ticketmaster commands more than a 70 percent market share of primary ticket services for major U.S. concert venues.
The White House fact sheet singled out bot sales in particular.
‘Ticket scalpers use bots and other unfair means to acquire large quantities of face-value tickets, then re-sell them at an enormous markup on the secondary market, price-gouging consumers and depriving fans of the opportunity to see their favorite artists without incurring extraordinary expenses,’ it said.
