President Trump amplified a stark warning from Kid Rock about possible religious conflict in Michigan, reposting a video in which the rocker said he was “scared” about a “civil war.”

Trump shared the clip late Sunday. It showed the 55-year-old Christian singer discussing his concerns with Lara Trump during her Fox News show.

Rock focused specifically on Dearborn, the Detroit suburb where he was born and raised. Multiple generations of his family were also born and raised there, giving the Michigan native a deeply personal connection to the city, as reported by The New York Post.

His warning centered on Dearborn’s population and what he described as the possibility of future conflict driven by religious ideology. He framed the issue around what his grandchildren could face one day.

“I don’t know if people understand how it got to be one of the biggest Arab populations outside the Arab world,” Rock said while discussing the city with Lara Trump.

Dearborn is the only city in the United States where a majority of residents are from the Middle East or North Africa. Rock acknowledged that people within the community do not all hold the same views.

The singer said he knows “there are extremists and there are milder versions of it.” His comments then shifted toward his fears about what could happen to younger generations.

“I don’t want my grandkids to one day have to fight some civil war over religious ideology,” Rock said. His concern was presented as a warning about a conflict that he does not want his family to encounter.

Rock’s remarks grew sharper as he turned to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate. He described the political contender in stark terms while discussing the situation in Michigan.

“This is scary,” Rock warned. He then added, “I think El-Sayed’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” directly linking his alarm to the Democratic candidate.

El-Sayed is facing Republican Mike Rogers in the contest for a vacant seat. Rock’s appearance placed that political race alongside his broader fears about religious ideology and Dearborn.

Trump reposted the video without adding any comment of his own. His decision to share it nevertheless circulated Rock’s warnings and his accusation against El-Sayed.

The repost came days after Trump issued his own blistering attack on El-Sayed. The president used even more direct language when describing the Democratic Senate candidate.

Trump called El-Sayed a “Jihadist lunatic who hates our Country, the Black People of Detroit, and wants to see the U.S. fail.” That statement was made before he shared Rock’s interview clip.

The president’s earlier statement and Rock’s comments both targeted El-Sayed, though they used different language. Rock called him a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” while Trump offered a longer condemnation.

Rock’s discussion remained rooted in Dearborn, his family’s ties to the Detroit suburb, and his fear that his grandchildren could eventually confront a religious conflict. He repeatedly presented the prospect as frightening.

The singer also made clear that he recognized differences within the population he was discussing, separating what he called extremists from milder versions. Even with that distinction, he said the situation left him worried about the future.

By sharing the clip without commentary, Trump let Rock’s words stand on their own. The video combined the rocker’s personal connection to Dearborn, his warning about a possible “civil war,” and his attack on El-Sayed.
