Former President Donald Trump is learning with friends like Joe Rogan; he does not need enemies.
After the billionaire stuck his neck out to defend the famous and popular podcaster over a racist comment scandal, he returned the favor by throwing him under the bus in a rather humiliating and public manner.
The UFC commentator said on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience that “the morons had a king” with Donald Trump.
The controversial comedian sat down with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy to talk about the chaotic landscape of American politics over the last few weeks because of George Santos‘s web of lies and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy‘s tumultuous and violent path to become Speaker of The House.
It took the Republican leader from California almost one week and 15 rounds of voting to land the post.
Rogan and his guest opened the episode by diving deep into the lies, fibs, fabricated tales, and alternative facts.
George Santos lied about his education at Baruch College and his career at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
Santos also made up the stories of being a proud American Jew,” a “descendant of survivors of the Holocaust.”
Despite his made-up life, George Santos was elected representative of New York’s 3rd Congressional district, has been sworn in, is serving.
The newly elected congressman even pushed to have McCarthy become Speaker.
Rogan repeated what many political experts have been saying, because of how Donald Trump changed the political landscape with his hyperboles, contractions, and half-truths, “there would be more candidates like Santos in the future, and that politics is a “gross, compromised world.”
Joe Rogan stated: “I mean, who the f*ck is gonna sign off on getting rid of all the special interest groups and all the lobbyists? No one. So it’s like, that’s why it was fascinating to see a guy like Trump getting to power because he was such an outsider.”
Portnoy agreed with Rogan by saying that Trump had a way of doing new and shocking things to the political world.
Rogan made a harsh comment about Trump and those who support him.
The former television presenter stated: “And the morons had a king. There’s a lot of morons. And it doesn’t matter what he’s saying; for them, he represents them.”
Rogan went on to say this while imitating and mocking a Trump voter: “He’s not perfect, but at least he’s real’ — like there’s that sort of thought process that he played with.”
He continued: “And also people that didn’t; they didn’t feel represented by someone who was ever in charge. And now this guy is, and it’s their guy.”
Some are surprised by Rogan’s remarks, and others are not so much. Recently, Joe Rogan revealed that he was no longer a fan of Donald Trump and added that he would back Ron DeSantis in the 2024 presidential election.
Rogan confessed: “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. I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him.”
Former president Donald Trump showed support for Rogan, who received heavy backlash and subsequently apologized for using the N-word and for spreading Covid-19 misinformation in past episodes.
Trump said during the scandal: “Joe Rogan is an interesting and popular guy, but he’s got to stop apologizing to the Fake News and Radical Left maniacs and lunatics. How many ways can you say you’re sorry? Joe, just go about what you do so well, and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you, and it never will be!”
Trump is slowly finding his way back to the top of the GOP food chain after helping McCarthy land the speakership.
