Is a Trump-Rogan podcast the conversation America needs, or just another media spectacle?

Is Joe Rogan finally ready to get Donald Trump on his podcast? That’s what rumors suggest. Trump has appeared on several podcasts for his p͏res͏identia͏l election campaign but was missing from JRE—one of the most popular podcasts. In the past couple of years, Rogan had maintained his stance and avoided having the former POTUS on his podcast. In 2022, Rogan even said:

“I am not a Trump supporter, in any way, shape or form. I have had the opportunity to have him on my show, more than once, and I have said no every time.” 

However, influential political figures such as Bernie Sanders, Dan Crenshaw, and Wesley Hunt have already made their mark on the ‘JRE’ hot seat, and now it’s time for the biggest star. In one of his conversations with Kyle Forgeard from the NELK Boys, Do͏nald ͏Trump mentioned that he planned to make a stop͏ at The Joe Rogan E͏xperi͏ence studio͏ soon, though he didn’t ͏specify a date or͏ time.

“You’re doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I’d love to see you on is — I think Joe Rogan has to have you on,” said Forgeard, to which the former president replied, “Yeah.”

The host further asked Trump whether he would appear on ‘JRE’, and Trump stated, “Oh, sure. I would … I mean, I think I’m doing it, actually … Yeah, I am … Did Joe become so well-known because of the UFC? And he does a great job with that, right? What was it that made y’all the best?”

This statemen͏t ͏quickly ga͏in͏ed traction on social medi͏a͏,͏ pu͏tting Joe͏ Rogan in a͏ ͏difficult positi͏on. Now, the podcaster is fac͏ing i͏mmense pressure from his fans to host Donald Trump on his show. In fact, when Rogan took to Instagram to share his collection of knives, people bombarded him with their requests.

“I received an awesome package from @halffaceblades with a chefs knife collection and some hunting knives all made with the alter from an elk I hunted a couple years ago. Amazing company, American and veteran owned and they do fantastic work,” he wrote. But the comments were all about Donald Trump.

What’s your perspective on:

Is a Trump-Rogan podcast the conversation America needs, or just another media spectacle?

Have an interesting take?

After all, many social media users had heard Trump’s confirmation about appearing on Rogan’s podcast, and that excited them. What did fans have to say to Joe Rogan?

Fans force Joe Rogan to bring in Donald Trump before the elections

͏Joe Rogan and Donald Trump seem to have been dodging each other, though they have met a couple of times at UFC events. While Dana White is an ardent supporter, Rogan has been on the fence. Regardless, people want to see the famous podcaster and the former POTUS sit down for a discussion.

“Don’t matter Joe oil up buddy get trump on the pod,” mentioned an Instagram user under Rogan’s post.

Similarly, another fan wrote, “Thank you for bagging Trump, that’s yuuuuuuuge.” Well, in reality, Joe Rogan has not released any episode with Trump so far and we do not know if they have even filmed one. It seems like we will have to wait for the podcaster to confirm or deny rumors about Trump’s appearance on the JRE.

  • “Drop the Trump interview.”
  • “Are the rumours true?? @realdonaldtrump is coming on your show??”

Many fans, though excited, found it difficult to believe that Donald Trump could sit down with Rogan for a chat. After all, if we go back to 2022, the podcaster was quite sure that he didn’t want Trump as a guest and has been critical of him. Then, let us not forget that it is difficult to box Rogan’s political views because, in the past, he has endorsed Bernie Sanders (2020), and also stated that he would favor Trump over Biden. Then he also expressed his support for independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024.
