In a recent episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience,” podcaster Joe Rogan and his guest, former mixed martial artist Dan Henderson, engaged in a heated discussion on various global affairs. One of their main discussion points was about Trump’s time as President. What was a surprise to many listeners was Joe Rogan’s positive comments.
Rogan Reminisces About Trump’s Popularity
Speaking about the past, Joe Rogan highlighted the stark contrast between Donald Trump’s public image then and now. He commented on Trump’s widespread appeal, saying, “Boy, do things change. He was in all the rap songs, rappers would always talk about Trump, everybody loved Trump. He was like this wheeling, dealing billionaire character that everybody enjoyed.”
Henderson’s Take on Trump’s Presidency
Dan Henderson then gave his two cents on Trump’s leadership when he was in the White House. While discussing the past political climate, Henderson remarked on the then-president’s performance, asserting, “I felt like he did a decent job.” It appears he has a sense of approval of Trump’s presidency.
Rogan on Trump’s Economic Policies
Rogan then explored different aspects of Trump’s presidency. He focused specifically on the economic decisions made during his time in office. Rogan shared, “When you look at his regulations, it certainly helped the economy,” highlighting what he sees as Trump’s positive economic influence.
Henderson Believes Things Were Better Then
Reflecting on the nation’s current condition, Henderson drew comparisons between the present and Trump’s era. Expressing his belief about the country’s better state back then, Henderson said, “I feel like we were in a lot better spot then than now, for sure.” This is something Rogan appeared to agree with
Rogan Agrees with Henderson
In response to Henderson’s perspective, Rogan spoke about the turbulent events of recent years. He stated, “Without a doubt. Well, there’s a lot of stuff that happened,” pointing to significant challenges like the pandemic that affected the world at large. He argued that Trump has faced these challenges better than the current President, Joe Biden.
Rogan’s Worries Amid Biden’s Presidency
Rogan then voiced his clear concerns about current global affairs. He commented, “The world scares the s— out of me right now.” He specifically highlighted his concern regarding the global conflict, saying, “Right now, I’m like, ‘Boy, this is not good.’ This Ukraine thing is not good, everything is not good.”
Rogan’s Concerns Extend to the Middle East
Rogan didn’t limit his worries to just one region. While he spoke about Ukraine, he also turned his attention to the longstanding issues in the Middle East. He said, “There’s no good solutions to the Middle East, all of it looks terrible.” He repeated his concerns about such conflict, saying, “And the Ukraine thing looks terrible.”
Rogan’s Fear of a Potential Nuclear War
Rogan then continued to discuss what seemed like a growing unease about the current geopolitical landscape. He shared his thoughts on the fragility of global peace, saying, “All it takes is one person to f—–g launch a nuke, and the world changes forever.” Drawing a comparison to historic events, he added, “This must have been what it felt like at the beginning of World War 2.”
Critics Slam Rogan
Despite Rogan’s clear reservations about global affairs, some users quickly identified the apparent hypocrisy of Rogan’s comments. One user criticized Rogan’s stance on the Trump administration by commenting, “Watch what history says about the Trump administration. Most indicted in US history. Rogan is just another clown.”
Accusations of Ignorance
Other users shared this idea and questioned Rogan’s grasp of historical contexts. One commenter expressed their strong disapproval of Rogan’s praise of the Trump administration, saying, “Joe Rogan WRONG. Trump was the worst President in history. And the worst human being since Judas.”
Doubts About Rogan’s Economic Understanding
Others argued that Rogan showed a lack of understanding of economic matters. One skeptic pointed out, “Now that we know right-wing minions know absolutely SQUAT about the economy…or morals…or ethics…or being law-abiding citizens, the rest of us need to VOTE BLUE!”
Reflecting on Economic Conditions
However, some agreed about better economic conditions during the Trump era. One supporter argued, “Fuel prices were affordable. DIESEL AND GAS UNDER $2 A GALLON. Food affordable and interest rates low! Give me mean tweets any day of the week over what the situation in this country is now!!”
Support for Trump’s Leadership
Another user expressed their strong approval for Trump’s leadership style, saying, “The World was more stable under Trump’s tough leadership… Trump can’t be bought like Biden. He speaks the truth, which weak people can’t handle. He’s that boss that is hard on his employees yet compensates you well, so you stay working for him or leave if you can’t handle the pressure.”
Doubts About Rogan’s Inside Information
Other users questioned Rogan’s praise of Trump. One user suggested that Rogan may possibly have information about the economy that was not public. They said, “Maybe Rogan knows he was without a doubt better under Trump because Rogan knows something that the rest of us don’t know, and he doesn’t want to tell us what it is.”
Criticizing Rogan’s Day-to-Day Impact
Additionally, some identified the key relationship between Trump and Rogan. One user showed doubt about Rogan’s relevance without Trump’s influence. They claimed, “Without Trump, Joe wouldn’t have a job spewing the bile that he does daily.” To this user, it seems Rogan has other reasons for praising Trump.
Addressing Trump’s Leadership During Crises
Another user discussed Trump’s apparent failures during critical events. They highlighted, “Two crises occurred on Trump’s watch: The blatant murder of Mr. Floyd by one of our boys in blue and Covid. Trump FAILED MISERABLY in both crises. Joe Rogan is a tool for the Alternate Facts Brigade and has a moral compass that only points south or hard right.”
Questioning Rogan’s Expertise on Global Affairs
Some users criticized Rogan’s ability to speak on international matters, claiming he has no credentials to do so. They argued, “Asking Rogan or an MMA fighter about national or global political affairs is like asking a five-year-old about quantum mechanics. They’re not equipped to comment with any level of competence.”
The Blame Game
Emphasizing the challenges President Biden inherited from his predecessor, another person said, “You can trace every single issue that Biden has had to contend with during his Presidency back to ‘Trumpty Dumpty.’ The RepubliCON/MAGA Culture has created a political civil war…It doesn’t take much to be another blind MAGAbillie cult member.”
