Rod Stewart’s shocking on-stage Trump dig exposed.
Rock legend Rod Stewart didn’t hold back as he slammed Donald Trump during a recent Canadian performance, delivering a fiery message that quickly went viral.
Tensions between U.S. and Canada highlighted.
On July 25th, Donald Trump publicly admitted, “We haven’t really had a lot of luck with Canada,” as trade negotiations sputtered near collapse.
He warned that without a new agreement by August 1, Canadian goods could face tariffs as high as 35%.
Canadian officials made it clear they won’t accept a rushed or poor trade deal, saying they’ll stand their ground against pressure.
Earlier this year, Ontario slapped a 25% tariff on electricity exported to the U.S. in direct response to Trump’s escalating trade war.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford fired back: “If the U.S. escalates, I will not hesitate to shut off electricity completely.”
Calling Ontario’s move an “abusive threat,” Trump ordered an additional 25% tariff in retaliation.
Trump’s wild suggestion revealed.
In a bizarre twist, Trump posted that the best way to eliminate tariffs would be to “make Canada our cherished Fifty First State.”
“Tariffs, trade, and everything else would disappear,” he claimed—if Canada simply became part of America
Political leaders across Canada shot down the idea immediately, calling it unrealistic and insulting to national sovereignty.
Social media users roasted the proposal, while Canadian press labeled it “absurd,” “patronizing,” and “imperialist fantasy.”
Rod’s complicated past with Trump profiled.
In a candid Radio Times interview, Rod Stewart admitted: “I knew him very, very well. I used to go to his house.”
“We live half a mile apart. We’re both on the beach,” Rod said, describing their surprisingly cozy relationship.
Rod admitted he initially liked Trump, calling him “a bit of a man’s man” who hosted great Christmas parties.
“He changed when he became President. He became someone I didn’t know,” Stewart reflected.
Rod Stewart’s clapback confirmed.
While performing on stage in Canada, Stewart took a sudden detour from his set list into full-blown anti-Trump fury.
He growled into the mic: “You know you’re not so great,” targeting Trump’s attitude toward Canada.
His voice thundered through the arena: “There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell we’ll be your 51st state.”
He added, “We have all we really need, we will live without your greed, we will survive.”
The line sent shockwaves through the crowd—and soon, across the internet.
Concertgoers cheered, whistled, and chanted in response to the viral moment.
On X (formerly Twitter), users called Stewart “a Canadian hero” and “the knight we didn’t know we needed.”
The fallout clarified.
As of now, Trump hasn’t directly addressed Rod’s viral rant—but observers suspect he won’t stay silent for long.
Analysts dismissed the 51st state idea as political theater to distract from failed trade progress.
For the first time in years, Rod trended globally not for a hit song—but for hitting back.
Several outlets praised him for defending Canadian sovereignty with rockstar swagger.
Social posts echoed similar sentiments: “Rod Stewart is speaking for all of us.”
Not everyone’s a fan—some conservative outlets slammed him for “meddling” in politics.
Sources close to the singer say he stands by his comments and would do it again “in a heartbeat.”
Rod just declared independence with a shout.
With the August 1 trade deadline looming, tensions are far from resolved.
In a moment of international awkwardness, it was a British singer in Canada who said the quiet part out loud.
And with five words—*“51st state my f**g a”—he may have spoken for an entire country.
