Rogan recently appeared on Lex Fridman’s podcast, where he spoke about the former US President. As per Rogan, post-Trump is a “weird time.” He feels the ‘Trump-era’ is going to be weird because people will look back at it historically. Additionally, the UFC commentator thinks Trump is a polarizing figure.
Speaking about Trump and Joe Biden, Rogan said, “He’s going to run again. … well, he’s running against a dead man. You know, I mean Biden shakes hands with people that aren’t even there when he gets off stage. I think he’s seeing ghosts.”
“You seen him on Jimmy Kimmel the other day? Well, he was just rambling. I mean, he’s, if he was anyone else. If he was a republican, if that was Donald Trump doing that, every f**king talk show, would be screaming for him to be off the air.”
Rogan further said that he was not a Trump supporter. Hence, he supported this statement by revealing he had the opportunity to have the former President on his show, but he said no.
