Rogan on Trump

One by one they are turning on Trump

"Joe Rogan said on the Wednesday episode of his popular podcast that he thinks President Donald Trump may have started the war in Iran to distract the U.S. public from the Epstein files.

The podcaster has criticized Trump's "Operation Epic Fury" in Iran, warning that it could drag the globe into World War III. He also questioned Trump's age, fearing the 79-year-old may act recklessly because he "doesn't have much to lose."

“That’s spooky. That’s spooky. You’re making decisions for babies and children and the future of the world, and you’ve only got 10, maybe 10 years left on Earth if everything goes great,” Rogan said during his March 11 podcast.

During the same episode, Rogan said Trump's supporters felt "betrayed" by his decision to go to war.

"I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right? He ran on 'no more wars,' 'end these stupid, senseless wars,' and then we have one that we can’t even really clearly define why we did it," Rogan said.

Rogan doesn't consider himself MAGA and recently called Trump's base "f****** dorks" bent on fulfilling Biblical end-times prophecies.

That helped normalize a pedophile and rapist who also stole secret government documents and tried to overthrow our government, but wait he was also a conartist, a fraud, and a barnkrupt morally and financially shitty human being.

But hey, Hunter Biden's laptop. What a pile of shit Rogan was, is and always will be. Complete slime of a person.

Don't let these short segments of him questioning things fool you, he still spends most of his time talking about trump praising him and the things he's doing to this country.

Useful idiots like Rogan enable all sorts of horrors throughout history.

His platform is used by a multitude of self-important grifters and egomaniacs. This pivot against tRUMP is temporary because he's a far-right leader of incels. Many are young males listening to this conman everyday looking for some kind of validation for their pathetic, hate-filled lives. Not many opportunities in this billionaires' dystopia we currently live in.
Here's but one example of the many dipshits Rogan offers his platform to; Terrence Howard. This is laughable and thank you AI for this

If you take people who are uncertain and sell them certainty, along with a common enemy to blame for their pain, you can get away with almost anything.

Unfortunately, we seem to be living in a golden age of con artists.
