More: Rock appeared to mime his way through his performance of 1999 hit "Bawitdaba", clips of which are being mocked on social media. A pre-recorded version of the song could be heard playing as the musician lowered his microphone away from his mouth. In other moments of the song, his mouth does not match the audio.

"Kid Rock is blatantly lip syncing, it's all prerecorded & he wasn't even trying," one person wrote on X-Twitter, with another adding: "Kid Rock forgets his lyrics during his song showing all the MAGA Far Right that he wasn't even singing. What a complete and utter embarrassment."

An additional person wrote: "Kid Rock couldn't even be bothered to sing live. Instead, some truly awful lip-syncing."

This is entirely on brand for MAGA.

Tacky, fake patriotism wrapped in poor theatrics meant to be as cheap as possible while charging as much as possible.

Kid Rock hasn't had a music award since 2011 except the very prestigious "California Music Participation Peace Prize".

It's a very important and dignified award presented by Gov Newsom to "okay", out of touch, has been artists like Kid Rock and Nikki Minaj after they were "snubbed" at the Grammys.

And yeah...it's a Participation trophy but Republicans love that stuff.

"California Music Participation Peace Prize". Almost as prestigious as the FIFA PEACE pRIZE!

135,000,000 for Bad Buddy vs 6,000,000 for the Kid Rock/Turning Point show.

I didn't understand more than a word or two, but it was entertaining.

Also loved Bad Bunny giving one of his Grammy awards to the little boy in the bunny ears ICE kidnapped in Minneapolis.

Trump CAUGHT-On-Cam: Bad Bunny 'ROCKS' Mar-A-Lago's Super Bowl Halftime Screens Over 'FLOP' Kid Rock

U.S. President Donald Trump has been branded a 'hypocrite' after footage emerged showing Bad Bunny's official Super Bowl halftime show playing at his Mar-a-Lago watch party, despite POTUS and his MAGA allies publicly backing Turning Point USA's alternative Kid Rock performance. Video shared online shows large screens inside Trump's Florida golf club airing Bad Bunny's halftime set while the U.S. President sat with guests, contradicting earlier claims that he would tune into TPUSA's 'All-American' halftime show.

From the sub-summary...

... Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. ...

A lot of people understood what he was saying.

Especially when he said, "God Bless America."

Of course, I can understand why Pres Trump may not understand the words "God Bless America."

They had to use bots to prop up their dismal numbers, on a pre-recorded show that sucked ass.

MAGA is a dumpster fire.

If he meant the hemisphere why would that matter to you. You are not even from this hemisphere.

Anyway.. this hemisphere includes the U.S.

Have I told you to GFY today?

He definitely didnt mean the america defined by the constitution. He meant the fictional christofascist fantasy where everyone is white, straight, and republican.
