Rod Stewart Calls Trump “Draft Dodger” After NATO Troops Comment...
Jan 27, 2026
Rod Stewart has criticized "draft dodger" Donald Trump after the president made insulting remarks about NATO troops and their service in Afghanistan.
In a Fox News interview, Trump dismissed NATO allies' contributions, saying, “They’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan… And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.”
Stewart condemned Trump's words via a video statement on Instagram, saying, “I may just be a humble rock star, I’m also a knight of the realm, and I have my opinions.”
"It hurts me badly, deeply, that I read the draft dodger Trump is criticizing our troops in Afghanistan for not being on the front line," Stewart continued.
“We lost over 400 of our guys. Think of their parents, think about it, when Trump calls them almost like cowards. It’s unbearable,” the British star explained.
Stewart then urged British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to condemn Trump: "Please make the draft dodger Trump apologize. Please!"
Starmer later called Trump's remarks "insulting and frankly appalling" in a video statement.
