Is Joe Rogan really campaigning against former US president Donald Trump? The JRE host is one of the most influential personalities walking on the face of the earth. During one of his recent episodes of his famous JRE podcast, Rogan shared his take on the ongoing US presidential elections. According to him, Robert F. Kennedy is the only candidate who makes sense to him.
Competing against Kennedy is former US President Donald Trump, who isn’t quite impressed by the host’s comments. The 78-year-old took to his X account to reply to Rogan with a unique request. But it seems the 56-year-old has found himself some support from a former UFC fighter.

The US presidential election took a massive turn when Joe Biden decided to withdraw his name from the campaign. However, he did name Vice President Kamala Harris as the face of the democratic party. Running in the race is also Robert F. Kennedy as an independent candidate whom Rogan rates very high. Characterizing him as a straight talker, Rogan shared his opinion on him and said, “He (Kennedy) doesn’t attack people, he attacks actions and ideas, but he’s much more reasonable and intelligent. I mean, the guy was an environmental lawyer and he cleaned up the East River. He’s a legitimate guy.” Trump, who has been a longtime associate of the UFC, didn’t quite like the claims.

Rogan who is fairly active on social media took to his X account to clear all the claims. The 56-year-old seemed to be highly impressed by the ideas of Kennedy and wrote, “For the record, this isn’t an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence,”. However, it was not only Kennedy he talked about, but also had some words for Donald Trump as well. Trump was recently in the news for his ‘fight’ slogan after surviving an assassination attempt. Rogan appreciated the former US President and wrote, “I also think Trump raising his fist and saying “fight!” after getting shot is one of the most American f….ng things of all time.” With the JRE host sharing his opinion on both, it will be interesting to see if he gets booed the next time.
