Former President Donald Trump set to appear on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' later this week
The appearance comes as the presidential campaign is on the home stretch and as Trump looks to extend his lead among male voters. Trump has made various other podcasts appearances recently.
Former President Donald Trump is set to appear on podcasting giant “The Joe Rogan Experience."
Trump has made appearances in other podcasts such as Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend,” as the Republican Presidential candidate looks to increase his lead among male voters. Trump has also made appearances on the show “Full Send,” hosted by the pro-Trump NELK boys (short for Nick, Elliot, Lucas, and Kyle).
Originally reported by Politico, Rogan is set to interview Trump in his studio based in Austin, Texas. Paste BN has also been able to confirm on background that Trump will make the appearance on Friday.
This would mark Trump’s first appearance on Rogan’s wildly popular podcast. Vice President Kamala Harris is also making her own podcast appearances, including one on “Call Her Daddy” hosted by Alex Cooper.
Trump is scheduled to sit with Rogan this Friday for the interview. Ahead of his appearance on the show, here is what we know.
Trump and Rogan have had a complicated relationship
Trump and Rogan have had a complicated relationship. Back in August, Rogan praised the then-independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and accused Democrats and Republicans of misleading voters.
“That’s just what they do. That’s politics. They do it on the left, they do it on the right," Rogan said. "They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives, and the only one who is not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr."
In response to these remarks, Trump fired back at Rogan on his social media site, Truth Social.
“It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024,” Trump posted.
