Donald Trump He is unwilling to admit that he has Beef with Joe RoganAnd declined to answer when asked about the tension between them.
In a new interview with the podcaster Lex Friedman— a frequent guest and competitor of Rogan’s — the host asked the former president what the beef was about and brought up a Truth Social post last month in which Trump wrote, “I wonder how loud Joe is. Lacquer The next time he steps into a UFC ring he gets booed???” Rogan just announced it Robert F. Kennedy Jrwho has since dropped out of the presidential race The only candidate who made it “sense”.—which greatly offended MAGA.
“While he said some nice things about RFK Jr., some not so nice things about Joe,” Friedman said, “I think that was a little inappropriate.” Trump took a different tone from his social media post when he responded, “I don’t think there was any tension and I always like it. But I don’t know him.”
He praised the podcast host, saying, “I think he’s good at what he does but I don’t know about doing his podcast. I mean, I think I’ll do it but I haven’t been asked and I’m not asking it. I am not asking anyone.”
According to Rogan’s own interview on Friedman’s podcast, He has rejected many requests Trump’s camp to get him on the show. “I am not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form,” Rogan told Friedman earlier this month. “I have had the opportunity to meet him more than once on my show. I have said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I am not interested in helping him.”
After directly contradicting Rogan on that issue, Trump said that Rogan was “like a liberal guy, I think from what I understand,” though he couldn’t help but mention the fact that Rogan “likes Kennedy. ,” who recently endorsed his ticket in exchange for a possible role in the White House.
“I love that he likes Kennedy, he’s a different kind of guy,” Trump added, successfully avoiding initial inquiries about what his problem with Rogan was in favor of praising Kennedy. He also didn’t mention the many digs Rogan has taken at Trump over the years, including in 2022 when the podcast host called him “A man child” and suggested the former president was on Adderall.
Despite the overlap between Rogan and Trump’s fans, Rogan has consistently refused to have him on his popular podcast. And contrary to Trump’s claims in Friedman’s new interview, his advisers have actively tried to get him on the show.
A consultant In 2023 the Daily Beast said that “the mere mention of Donald Trump on a blockbuster podcast like Joe Rogan’s creates a significant audience,” adding, “Maybe the only person in the new media world bigger than Joe Rogan is Donald Trump, and the whole idea that the two of them stay together for a long time — that would be an amazing audience.” .”
