Joe Rogan Watches On as Donald Trump Joins Yet Another JRE Rival After Facing Podcaster’s Rejection

“… I am not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I’ve said no, every time,” Joe Rogan said back in 2022 on Lex Fridman’s podcast. But Donald Trump is the last person to back off. He is pulling all the stops ahead of the 2024 US elections and so what if Rogan doesn’t want him on JRE? Other podcast hosts have been rallying to have him on air.

Donald Trump will soon make an appearance on Lex Fridman’s podcast- the very place Joe Rogan shared his decision involving Trump. Fridman took to X and wrote, “I’m doing a podcast with @realDonaldTrump soon. Let me know if you have any questions/topic suggestions.”

Lex Fridman has spoken about the former president many times on his podcast. He even wished him well after the recent assassination attempt. Now, Fridman finally has his opportunity because having a popular figure like Donald Trump is bound to boost any podcast.

Well, that’s interesting. What’s even more intriguing is how active Trump has been on X. As we all know, Donald Trump was banned from Twitter almost three years ago, but with Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform, renamed X, the 45th US president is back. He has become much more interactive, which has led to him making a multitude of appearances on various podcasts, with Theo Von being his last podcast stop.

Just below Joe Rogan’s podcast lies Theo Von’s ‘This Past Weekend’ podcast, which is a clear sign that Donald Trump has indeed helped his podcast reach new heights. In fact, after his appearance, Theo Von’s podcast reached #1 on Spotify. Trump didn’t leave a single opportunity to criticize Kamala Harris. Now, he will appear on yet another competitor’s podcast.

But for the 57-year-old Rogan, it is not a big problem because he signed another deal with Spotify, which has given him even more freedom and more reach; Thanks to the opportunity to make a comeback on YouTube- the biggest video-sharing platform in the world.

Joe Rogan is still going strong despite Donald Trump boosting other podcasts!

The biggest podcaster in the world has said time and time again that he’s not interested in helping Donald Trump further his agendas on his podcast. Interestingly, Joe Rogan says that despite Dana White being an avid supporter of the 45th US president. White has never backed out from that stance ever since receiving help from Trump during a problematic phase for the UFC.

But the JRE host’s stance hasn’t affected his podcast too much as his podcast still remains at the top of the Spotify charts. Another intriguing layer is that the UFC color commentator was last seen being cordial and shaking hands with the ex-President and it might so happen that Rogan might eventually change his stance on the same.

However, as of now, Rogan has not indicated a change in his thoughts. Yet Trump is often discussed on JRE. Take episode #2178 for instance. After the assassination attempt on Trump, Joe Rogan discussed how the officials allegedly knew that there was suspicious activity going on and they still let the former POTUS go on stage.

That’s something the podcaster felt was odd. “It’s so crazy and the fact that they had such poor security… Like they did such a terrible job.”

Further, let us not forget that Rogan has had the opportunity to meet Donald Trump a few times during UFC events. Remember how at UFC 296, he walked out with Dana White on his side, and once Trump reached the commentator’s booth, Joe Rogan and Trump shook hands.

Well, do you think Rogan will change his mind about Trump and invite him for a chat on JRE? Let us know in the comments below.
