"I think the thing with President Trump is, I think he wants to do great things for the American people and the country," Aldean said. "And he's a guy that I feel like when he says something, he tries to get it done.
"He's not just telling you. You know, I feel like a lot of times politicians will just tell you things - just to make it sound good. And I feel like he's a guy that actually wants to go get it done."
Aldean hasn't always been vocal about his political stance, but has publicly supported Trump throughout the years. The country music star liked how Trump "didn't talk like a politician."
Trump's first inauguration in 2017 featured performances from the Rockettes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and 16-year-old "America's Got Talent" singer Jackie Evancho.
Aldean is a supporter of speaking your mind. He previously faced backlash for his song "Try That in a Small Town," which was well-received by his fanbase, in 2023 after the music video went viral. The song was deemed by some to be pro-violence and pro-gun due to the lyrics and the music video featuring clips from riots along with footage of people burning an American flag.

"People are kind of scared to say something a lot of times out of fear or losing a job or losing friends," the "You Make it Easy" singer previously told Fox News Digital. "Maybe they're not going to get work again or whatever it is. People tend to hop on the side that's just politically correct, and it may be politically correct, but it's not right. Like, it's just not, you know what I'm saying?"
Aldean explained that "Try That In a Small Town," like all of his records, was a way for him to express his feelings creatively.
"I can't go grab my phone, go on Instagram and go off on an almost 30-minute rant about how I feel about all these things," he said. "It's like I do that through music, and that's what it is, and obviously it's struck a chord out there with a lot of people that felt the same way and the song did well."
