In November 2024, Donald Trump reshaped the American political landscape and made international headlines by securing victory in the 60th quadrennial U.S. election. With his star power, Trump ousted Joe Biden from the White House and positioned himself for a historic second term as the 47th President of the United States. Now, with just days remaining until his January 20 inauguration, Trump prepares to take the oath of office once again.

Despite Trump’s decisive win, the heated debate surrounding the 2024 election refuses to die down. The discussion took an unexpected turn on Joe Rogan’s podcast, where a curious question emerged: Could Trump defeat Biden in a one-on-one street fight? the podcaster, joined by Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, and Ari Shaffir on Episode #2256, dove into the hypothetical clash, imagining how the brawl might play out.

Mark Normand fueled the conversation by asserting, “Trump would get him, though. Trump would tackle him.” Joe Rogan eagerly agreed, confidently adding, “100%.” He then escalated the scenario with an even more outrageous prediction: “Trump would bite his face off. He would grab his thumbs, shove them into his eyes, and bite his face off. 100%. They’re two different kinds of humans. Yeah, Biden used to have the Secret Service around him his whole life. Trump is a psychopath.” Rogan further capped off the debate with a striking analogy, likening Trump’s hypothetical victory to the Mountain’s brutal takedown of Prince Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones Season 4.

Although Joe Rogan was once a critic of Trump and the Republican Party, he has recently emerged as one of Trump’s prominent supporters. This shift stems, in part, from the podcaster’s close friendship with UFC boss Dana White, a mutual connection who maintains strong ties with both Rogan and Trump. This relationship reportedly paved the way for Trump’s highly anticipated appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience Episode #2219, which aired just a week before the election. Garnering over 50 million views, critics have labeled the episode as a game-changing moment that significantly boosted Trump’s campaign and helped secure his victory.

What shifted Joe Rogan’s stance from Democrat to Republican?

“I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him,” Joe Rogan firmly stated during his 2022 appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast, dismissing any chance of Donald Trump ever appearing on his show. At the time, the podcaster distanced himself from Trump and his political movement. Yet, by 2024, Rogan’s podcast became a major influence in Trump’s decisive election victory, leaving both fans and critics questioning what had caused such a dramatic shift in his stance.

The turning point came when CNN, a network often linked to Democratic views, launched scathing attacks on Joe Rogan over his controversial remarks regarding COVID-19. These public attacks marked a wake-up call for the podcaster, prompting him to reassess his political alignment. He spotted the same happening to Trump and found common ground.

Speaking candidly on episode #2226 of his podcast with Theo Von, the podcaster reflected on his journey: “Back then, I was like, ‘I don’t want to be a part of this.’ There was so much anger, so much negativity. I didn’t feel the need to involve myself. And honestly, I didn’t pay enough attention to the way they were misrepresenting things he had said. My wake-up call came when they turned their sights on me.”
