President Trump reposted a video of musician Kid Rock warning of a potential religious civil war in Michigan involving the Muslim population.

President Trump reposted a video of musician Kid Rock on his Truth Social platform in which Kid Rock warned of a potential religious civil war in Michigan. Speaking on Fox News to Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, on her show My View Sunday, Kid Rock expressed concerns about Dearborn, the Detroit suburb where he and multiple generations of his family were born and raised. He noted that Dearborn has one of the largest Arab populations outside the Middle East.

Kid Rock said he knew there were both extremists and milder versions of the Muslim population but expressed concern about his grandchildren potentially having to 'fight some civil war over religious ideology'. He described this prospect as 'scary' and characterised Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed as 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'. El-Sayed is running against Republican Mike Rogers for a vacant Senate seat.

Trump shared the clip without comment. Earlier in the campaign, Trump had referred to El-Sayed as a 'Jihadist lunatic who hates our Country, the Black People of Detroit, and wants to see the U.S. fail' and as a 'RADICAL Extremist' and 'Terrorist Sympathizer'.
