Fact Check: Kid Rock Is NOT Donating The Proceeds Of Next Five Shows To Turning Point USA In Charlie Kirk's Name -- It's Satire Satire Origin

Is Kid Rock donating the proceeds of his next five shows to Turning Point USA in Charlie Kirk's honor? No, that's not true: The story originated on a satirical Facebook page that clearly labels its content as fake. The page's owner is known for tricking conservatives into liking and sharing fabricated posts. As of Dec. 18, 2025, Kid Rock has not announced any tour dates or plans to donate proceeds to Turning Point USA in Kirk's honor.

The claim appeared in a December 14, 2025, post on Facebook account @TheTrumpTrainMAGAMachine (archived here):

Kid Rock is a good egg. He was there for flood victims, hurricane victims, and now he's there for Charlie Kirk.

This is what the image in the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

As this screenshot shows, the image has the "America's Last Line of Defense," "SATIRE" logo and the homepage of the Facebook account (archived here) clearly states, "The flagship of the ALLOD network of trollery and propaganda for cash. Nothing on this page is real." The Facebook account @TheTrumpTrainMAGAMachine is another site that is part of the ALLOD network.

The claim originated in a December 14, 2025, post on the America's Last Line of Defense Facebook account (archived here) as this screenshot shows:

The post does not cite a news source or official announcement for the claim that Kid Rock is donating proceeds from five concerts to Turning Point USA in Kirk's honor. Searches of Google and Yahoo! News (archived here) found no reports of Kid Rock announcing such a donation. Kid Rock's website (archived here) does not list any upcoming tour dates as of Dec. 18, 2025.

Christopher Blair is a self-professed liberal from Maine who, for years, has run networks of websites set up to troll conservatives with made-up news items in order to get them to share his posts. A 2018 BBC profile called Blair "the Godfather of fake news," describing him as "one of the world's most prolific writers of disinformation."

The account is part of a network of satire websites and those pages display satire disclaimers and predominantly publish made-up stories with headlines specifically created to trigger Republicans, conservatives and evangelical Christians into angrily sharing or commenting on the story on Facebook without actually reading the full article, exposing them to mockery and ridicule by fans of the sites and pages.

Blair's stories have been widely copied by spammy, foreign website networks seeking to profit by spamming American conservatives with clickbait headlines.
