It appears that Donald Trump is taking another shot at trying to get on the Joe Rogan popular podcast but considering Joe’s past comments on the subject, it doesn’t appear he has a good chance of getting booked anytime soon.
On Monday, the Daily Beast reported that Trump had directed his team to reach out to Rogan in an attempt to get on the podcast after the two shook hands at a recent UFC event.

After shaking hands with Rogan at a recent UFC fight in Las Vegas, the aspiration returned to the front of Trump’s mind. In conversations with advisers and allies, Trump has encouraged those close to him to hype up a potential podcast invite, according to a source familiar.
“The mere discussion of Donald Trump on a blockbuster podcast like Joe Rogan builds a remarkable audience,” a Trump adviser told The Daily Beast. “Perhaps the only person bigger in the new media world than Joe Rogan is Donald Trump and the whole idea that the two of them would be together at long last—it would be an incredible audience.”
Trump’s re-ignited desire to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast follows the ex-president appearing with the Nelk Boys on their podcast Full Send, a frat-like interview show with young men wearing backwards hats. That podcast did millions of views and listens across a number of platforms.
Rogan has been adamant about not having Trump on his podcast in the past.
Here’s what Rogan had to say about Trump potentially being on his podcast last year.
“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.”
Joe Rogan says he has turned down multiple offers to have Donald Trump on his podcast:

Rogan is receiving criticism from Trump supporters due to the fact that he has invited Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Bernie Sanders to be on the podcast as guests.
Rogan declined to comment on Trump’s reported interest in being a guest on the pod, but odds are he’ll likely address the issue the next time he airs his podcast.
