On the Joe Rogan Experience episode #2219, Donald Trump told Joe Rogan, “You’re not a Kamala [Harris] person, you’re a Khabib [Nurmagomedov] person.” The former POTUS admitted to being a longtime admirer of Rogan and his work and surely seemed like he wanted his endorsement. Despite the earlier tiff over Rogan seemingly endorsing RFK Jr., Trump now has the UFC commentator’s endorsement, and he could not be happier!
Donald Trump surely knows the importance of the support and took to his Instagram to personally thank Joe Rogan for endorsing him. Thanking the JRE host, Donald Trump said, “I just received word about Joe Rogan’s endorsement. He’s a fantastic guy, and it’s a great honor to receive it. Thank you, Joe, very much!”
In Rogan’s latest episode with Elon Musk, Rogan described Trump as a “wild card” challenging the status quo and suggested that the former president’s unconventional approach to leadership could be what the country needs in the current climate. In addition, Rogan took to X to talk about his discussion with Elon Musk about ex-POTUS Trump. He wrote, “He (Musk) makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”

This surely became major headlines in the political and media landscape since the Joe Rogan Experience host is known for having a huge fan following. Rogan’s endorsement marks a significant moment, especially since this is a complete U-turn from his earlier stance on the Republican candidate. During an appearance on Lex Fridman’s podcast, Rogan claimed that he did not want to help Trump in any way. The JRE host also admitted that he had turned down multiple opportunities to host him on the show in the past.

The X post from Rogan also included a more than two-hour interview with Musk. It is worth noting that Rogan recorded a three-hour conversation with Trump for his podcast late last month, and this podcast episode surely left a lasting impression on the JRE host.

Have an interesting take?
As soon as Donald Trump uploaded the video of him thanking Joe Rogan, they were quick to share their opinions in the comments. A majority of them believed that the Republican candidate has truly managed to get himself the dream team of tycoons and ultra-relevant personalities from different paths of life to endorse him. They wrote comments like, “Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tucker Carlson, Dr. Phil, Ron Paul, and now Joe Rogan. The Deep State is f***ing finished,” and “Either Trump wins or this country is cooked. This super team will never be reassembled.”
One of the fans even called them the Avengers; a group of superheroes who got together to save the world, or in this case, the United States of America. “Joe Rogan, Musk, Tulsi, RFK, Vance, Tucker! Trump really assembled the AVENGERS!” Another user made a pop culture reference by commenting, “We really got Rogan endorsing trump before GTA 6.” For the unaware, it is a running gag in the internet community since GTA 6 hasn’t been released for about a decade now since the release of GTA 5. This also makes as Rogan has been highly critical of Trump in the past, so this move is truly baffling.
A fan even wondered in the comments how the perception of Trump changed for the JRE host. “What changed his mind? He’s been very vocal in the past about not being a Trump supporter.” The UFC commentator once said, “I don’t want to help him (Donald Trump). I’m not interested in helping him.”

Another fan stated that while tycoons and businessmen are endorsing Trump, Kamala Harris is being supported by Hollywood stars and celebrities. According to the fan, celebrities aren’t very aware of national issues and economic situations compared to businessmen who are often aware of every important economic scheme being implemented in the nation. “Who cares what celebrities think about politics? They know nothing.”
Well, it surely looks like the public loved the two icons getting together for the elections especially after Joe Rogan has previously stated his major dislike toward Donald Trump quite a few times. What do you think? Will Rogan be able to help Trump win the election? Let us know in the comments.
