Joe Rogan has recently opened up about the sleepless nights he experiences due to the whirlwind of headlines surrounding Donald Trump. On his latest podcast, the comedian, who previously endorsed Trump for the 2024 election, expressed growing concern over the current political climate, wondering when the “madness” will subside. His apprehensions extend to fears of potential conflict between the United States and Iran under Trump’s administration.
Rogan candidly admitted that he often feels overwhelmed by the barrage of news. “It’s overwhelming me. Sometimes at night time I can’t wind down. There’s too much news. It’s too much f*cking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran,” he said during an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” The platform has previously seen Trump as a guest promoting his campaign.
While Rogan’s critiques may signal a waning support for the former president, online reactions to his concerns have been mixed. Many commentators have noted his apparent regret over his endorsement, leading to the viral image of him with his head in his hands to express remorse for supporting Trump.
Rogan has previously voiced discontent with the Trump administration, notably in January when he likened its actions to those of the Gestapo, following a controversial incident involving ICE agents. This statement drew significant online backlash, with some attributing blame to Rogan for enabling Trump’s rise through his earlier support.
Despite endorsing Trump, Rogan made headlines in the 2020 election cycle for voting for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, who ultimately lost to Joe Biden. Following Biden’s resignation during the 2024 race, Trump reclaimed the presidency by defeating Kamala Harris, who had been selected as the Democratic nominee.
As tensions continue in the political arena, Rogan’s shifting sentiments might reflect broader uncertainties among voters regarding their leaders. Whether the former comedian-turned-political commentator ultimately withdraws his support for Trump remains a topic of speculation, with many eager to see how this dynamic unfolds in the months ahead.
