In a new interview for Sky News for the documentary, Trump's America: 250 Years in the Making, host Paul Murray asked the singer-songwriter, real name Robert Ritchie, about his connection with the American leader. In response, Rock described Trump as "f--king awesome" and shared that the president will text him randomly. "It's one of my late-night drinking tricks because I know when to get him," he said. "He's so gracious, he always picks up or he'll call and check in just to shoot the s--t. He's not calling me to (ask), 'Hey, what should we do in Iran, Bob?' I don't get those calls."
