Rumors are circulating that Joe Rogan could be about to interview Donald Trump.
The UFC commentator hosts the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) – the world’s most popular podcast, and regularly interviews public figures and political activists such as Matt Walsh, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy.
Musk in particular has been a notable guest, having appeared on JRE three times since 2018. He has also become closely associated with Trump’s presidential campaign in recent months, going as far as launching the America Super PAC in support of the former president.
Social media has long speculated over a possible Trump appearance on Rogan’s podcast. Rogan’s tolerance towards different points of view, open-ended interview style and general popularity has convinced many of his suitability for a Trump campaign stop, while the two have previously met at UFC events.
Rumors escalated though on Thursday, Oct. 10 when Musk responded to a ZeroHedge article calling for Rogan to interview the former president, opining that “It will happen.”
Trump himself gave the biggest indication of a historic podcast two days later. In a clip from the soon-to-be released interview with the Nelk Boys, Trump confirmed his upcoming appearance on JRE.
“You’re doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I would love to see you on, I think Joe Rogan has to have you on. Would you do that?” host Kyle Forgeard asked.
Trump replied, “I think I’m doing it, actually.”
Forgeard followed up “so you are going to do Joe Rogan?”
“Yeah I am,” Trump confirmed.
Many were thrilled by the prospect of a Rogan/Trump podcast.
Others offered predictions ahead of its release.
