On various occasions, Joe Rogan has expressed his views on the ex-POTUS Donald Trump. And for the most part, his thoughts have been unfavorable. This was exemplified by his refusal to have the former President of the United States on his show. The UFC commentator has even questioned the former president’s leadership abilities.
During an appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast last year, Rogan openly disclosed his decision to decline to interview the ex-POTUS, stating, “I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape, or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once, and I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him.”
