Two of the biggest YouTube stars on the planet are Logan Paul and Joe Rogan, but only one of the two is considering not only a try their hand at politics but also gun for the top office in the land — the President of the United States.
On a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, talented stand-up comedian Tim Dillon was on the podcast where they discussed a wide variety of topics including 9/11 conspiracy theories, Gary Vanderchuck, chef personalities copying Anthony Bourdain, a possible adult dwarf posing as a child to be adopted, and thoughts on how Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Tim Dillon also announced that he is going to be the presidential campaign manager of Logan Paul. “I will make him the President of the United States,” Dillon proclaimed on the JRE. “He will not be that bad at it. He’s disciplined. He has a heart. I will be his Steve Bannon.”
“He’s a smart guy,” Dillon said. “He will run.”
Dillon explained that YouTubers are perfectly suited to be the leader of the free world. “YouTubers are going to have millions of dollars, millions of fans, and no skills when they’re all 40,” Dillon said.
Paul saw the clip and accepted the challenge of becoming President of the United States.

Unfortunately for Logan Paul, he will have to wait until at least the 2032 Presidential election because you have to be at least 35-years-old to run for President, Paul is only 24-years-old now. In the meanwhile, he can work on beating KSI in celebrity boxing.
Logan Paul is well-to-do, but doesn’t have the immense wealth as say businessmen turned politicians such as Donald Trump or Michael Bloomberg to pay for his own presidential campaign. Logan Paul has a net worth of $19 million.
Dillon talked with Logan on his podcast Impaulsive last month where they talked about Tim’s greatest fears: Lilly Singh, Greta Thunberg, and Cincinnati.
However, Joe Rogan has said that he won’t be running for political office ever. Last week, Rogan talked to photographer and documentary film director Louie Psihoyos, who is best known for The Cove.
The two were talking about how Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden who recently called marijuana a “gateway drug.” To which Joe was of course bothered by.
“And this knucklehead saying that it’s a gateway drug… no, pain is a gateway drug. Trauma is a gateway drug. Abuse is a gateway to drugs. It’s not marijuana,” Rogan said. “Marijuana is just a time-honored psychedelic substance that people have been enjoying for thousands and thousands of years.”

Later in the conversation, Psihoyos tells Rogan, “You should have run for Congress.”
“F*ck that I’m not running for anything,” Joe fired back. “I’m not even running for my neighborhood’s whatever the hell it is. … Look, I’m not ever running for anything ever.”
So if you want a podcaster as President of the United States, it looks like you’ll have to settle for Logan Paul.
Rogan has been talking to more politicians over the past year or so, including several Democratic Presidential candidates. Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, and Tulsi Gabbard (twice) have been on the Joe Rogan Experience. There was even a petition to have Joe Rogan moderate the 2020 Presidential Debate.
