Joe Rogan vs. Donald Trump—Whose side are you on in this UFC commentator clash?

“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,” wrote Joe Rogan on his X handle. Robert F Kennedy Jr is an independent presidential candidate who is competing against Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for the President’s seat. However, his campaign has been dwindling due to ratings as well as minimal funding but Joe Rogan’s recent comments on the Kennedy Jr have helped to boost the ratings a bit high and this seems to have irked UFC’s very own Donald Trump.

The former President of the US, took to his Truth handle to add a simple comment after Rogan’s statement. He wrote, “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets Booed the next time he enters the UFC ring??? Maga 2024.”  The podcaster faced brutal criticism for his opinion but is he a bit upset? Well, his recent Instagram post about Donald Trump from ‘Kill Tony’ says otherwise.

Was Donald Trump’s criticism of Joe Rogan a bit far-fetched because the podcaster has only talked about Robert F Kennedy Jr once? Well, it’s subjective, and this is not the first time when Rogan gave the Kennedy Jr a shoutout or platform to endorse himself. In one of his JRE episodes, Rogan shared his honest opinion, “He [Robert F Kennedy Jr] 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.”

For those who don’t know ‘Kill Tony’ is a comedic format that has a panel of comedians who roast contestants that go up and try to impress them while being roasted themselves. Tony Hinchcliffe made his show wildly popular across the United States and soon it found its way to Austin Texas ‘Comedy Mothership’, a few days after Donald Trump’s assassination attempt.

Joe Rogan chimed in the conversation to state, “It all bothers me, the fragility of the human mind. You know, everybody forever was like, ‘Kamala Harris is the worst vice president. She’s the least popular vice president of all time. All the social media posts about her…try Googling a negative story on her; you won’t find one. So, Tada.”
