The ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ (JRE) has become a platform where anything can happen. From deep philosophical conversations to controversial political debates, Rogan’s podcast pulls in millions of listeners with each episode. Over the years, Rogan has hosted countless public figures and notable names in the political arena, but one guest has been noticeably absent, Donald Trump.
The former POTUS and Rogan were involved in a back-and-forth over the podcast host’s support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this year. But it looks like the ‘feud’ has finally come to an end with multiple reports indicating Trump might be stopping by the JRE studio soon. However, in a resurfaced video, Rogan had already predicted what would happen if the former president sat down for a conversation with him despite proclaiming that he wasn’t a “Trump supporter”!

Back in 2022, Joe Rogan was a guest on Lex Fridman’s podcast and during their conversation, made his stance on Donald Trump clear. “And by the way, I’m not a Trump supporter, in any way, shape or form.”, the UFC color commentator had confessed. He also went on to reveal that he had been offered the chance to host Trump several times but turned it down each time.
“I don’t wanna help him, I’m not interested in helping him,” Rogan explained, underscoring the impact that a JRE appearance could have on someone’s public image. But why did he feel that way? When Fridman brought up the fact that Rogan has hosted controversial figures like Kanye West on the show, Rogan responded by stating, “Yeah, but Kanye is an artist like, Kanye doing well or not doing well doesn’t change the course of our country.”
When pressed by Fridman if, “do you really bear the responsibility of the course of our country based on a conversation?”, Rogan had an interesting response. He bluntly stated, “I think you can revitalize and rehabilitate someone’s image in a way that is pretty shocking.”
This perspective sheds light on why Rogan has maintained such a cautious stance toward interviewing Trump. The idea that a single conversation could shift public opinion is not far-fetched in today’s media landscape. In fact, Donald Trump has made the rounds on several popular podcasts during this election campaign, including Theo Von’s ‘This Past Weekend’ and Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’, reaching millions of listeners.

Now, with Donald Trump’s appearance on the JRE set to become a reality, what would the podcast host question the former president about? During episode #2210 of the JRE, Rogan sat down with Calley and Casey Means and shared a look at his curiosity about what it’s like to hold the office of the President of the USA.
Rogan stated, “If I talk to him, my number one question would be what happens when you get in there? Like what is that experience like?” indicating that his desire to peel back the curtain on the presidential experience would likely drive the conversation.

Continuing his train of thought, Rogan further went on to share, “Because no one really knows until you’re in office. They don’t tell you how it’s going to go down if you don’t make it, you know. They don’t reveal all that like, so what is that experience like and how can you prepare for it without actually being elected president?”
To wrap things up, Joe Rogan’s curiosity about the behind-the-scenes experience of being president, paired with his unique ability to push the envelope in interviews, could make this a conversation for the ages. From deep dives into policy to uncovering the reality of holding office, Rogan’s approach would likely pull back the curtain on a side of Donald Trump we’ve yet to see.
