Jason Aldean Has One Big Problem With the U.S. Presidential Debate

The traveling Rock the Country festival held down a two-night stand at Poplar Bluff, Mo. last week with co-headliners Jason Aldean and Kid Rock, and during his time onstage, Aldean sounded off about politics.

Specifically, he took issue with the U.S. presidential debate, which aired on Thursday (June 28) and saw incumbent Democrat Pres. Joe Biden facing off against Donald Trump, who's currently vying for his second term in office.

There were a number of hot-button issues on the table — abortion access, immigration and the economy, to name a few — but Aldean joked that his biggest problem with the debate was Biden's claims about his golf game.

"So I'm assuming most of you guys play golf," the singer told the crowd. "The biggest issue I had was Biden saying he was a six handicap. I'm calling bulls--t.

"Clearly that's the least of his worries, but..." Aldean continued, as people in the audience yelled out comments like "F--k yeah!" and "He can't see the f--king ball!"

It's no secret that Aldean is a Trump supporter — or that he doesn't see eye to eye with Biden's politics. The singer and his wife Brittany attended Trump's New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago a couple of years ago, and both members of the couple have shared their conservative political leanings on social media.

Aldean has also claimed that Biden requested to use his hit "Flyover States" as a campaign song and that he declined. He told that story again onstage at Rock the Country. "He asked to use this song during his campaign a few years back and we just told him, 'Nah man, I don't think so,'" the singer deadpanned to the crowd.

A 538/Ipsos poll conducted after the debate revealed that the majority of American voters felt that both candidates delivered lackluster performances, but that Trump out-performed Biden. The poll revealed a marked decline in the number of voters who consider Biden "mentally and physically fit" to be president of the United States.
