American rapping sensation Kid Rock paid a visit to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Monday in a flashy jumpsuit. An outfit that Trump joked that he'd like to wear as well.
Kid Rock was at the White House as Donald Trump signed an executive order to crackdown on ticket scalpers. He wore a jumpsuit themed on the American flag in a flashy red color, with white and blue inserts. The front even featured wings of the bald eagle. He topped it all off with a matching hat and a pair of sunglasses.
After signing the order, Trump took questions from the media. One reporter asked whether the US president will be open to wearing the jumpsuit.
Donald Trump was actually open to the idea. He claimed that he might wear it the following day, hinting at something big coming up from the administration.
He said, "I don't know, I was thinking about wearing it TOMORROW! We've got a big day coming up."
LMAO! A reporter just asked Trump if he'd wear Kid Rock's flashy American flag jumpsuit
TRUMP: "I don't know, I was thinking about wearing it TOMORROW! We've got a big day coming up."

What is Donald Trump's executive order on ticket scalping?
Concert tickets are often purchased and resold online at much higher rates, making them unaffordable for audiences who miss out on the initial sale.
The order will ensure that fans are protected from inflated prices by "unscrupulous middleman."
Kid Rock claimed that even if he set the ticket prices low, such middleman would buy most of the tickets and resell them at much higher rates. He added, “If I set my ticket prices low, these bots immediately eat them up, and they resell for hundreds of dollars more, and I’m just making these bad actors rich.”
The music icon claimed that Ticketmaster CEO Michael Rapino was "onboard" with this idea. Ticketmaster is the leading platform for selling concert tickets.
