Kid Rock has revealed how his trip to the White House with a well-known Trump critic went.

Earlier this month, the 'All Summer Long' hitmaker announced his plans to take Bill Maher to see the president.

Maher is known for his outspokenness, having taken aim at the likes of Taylor Swift and falling out with Howard Stern over the years.

Another person he's been very vocal about is Donald Trump and, with this in mind, Trump-supporter Kid Rock wanted to bring the two together in the hopes of trying to 'unite this country'.

"I’m actually going to try and unite this country, and I’m starting at the end of the month," the singer said on the Glenn Beck Podcast last 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."

Surprisingly, Maher agreed to the meeting at the White House, which took place on Monday (March 31). Kid Rock and Maher were joined by Dana White as the president signed an executive order aimed at protecting fans from 'exploitative ticket scalping'.

Kid Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, has since shared how things went between Trump and Maher.

Speaking on Fox & Friends this morning (April 2), the 'Born Free' singer said: "Everyone was so surprised, so pleasant. And the president was so gracious. He took us up to the private residence."

"We saw the Gettysburg address in the Lincoln Bedroom," he added.

Elsewhere, Kid Rock chatted on Varney & Co and insisted that he, Maher, Trump, and White all had 'so much' in common.

He said: "We talked about a lot of things that he had in common. Bill Maher is a big supporter of Trump's stance on the border, of ending wokeism.

"The president even asked him about policy and what he thought with Iran getting nuclear weapons."

Kid Rock added that they all 'broke bread' together and seemingly bonded with one another.

Maher himself hasn't said much on the meeting, but teased that he'd reveal all on an episode of his TV show, Real Time, that's set to air later this month.

He wrote on Twitter yesterday (April 1): "Hey everybody, thank you for all the interest in my dinner with the president last night - I promise, all will be revealed on the next @RealTimers on April 11.

"As it’s April 1 today, no one would believe what I said today anyway!"
