The relationship between Joe Rogan and Donald Trump is not as close as you might think.
Rogan said he turned down requests for the former president to appear on his show more than once.
Rogan doesn't want to help Trump, he's not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form
Rogan's dismissal of Trump is his strongest critique of the president yet and came as a surprise to many.
Rogan voted for a libertarian candidate in the 2020 election and endorsed a senator for the presidency in 2020.
In a February statement supporting Rogan, Trump called Rogan an interesting and popular guy, after a clip of him using the n-word several times, calling those who criticized Rogan as the "Fake News and Radical Left maniacs andlunas."
Rogan has distanced himself from Trump but his fans still support him. According to a survey conducted in February by Morning Consult, a majority of Rogan fans voted for Trump in the 2020 election. A majority of Rogan fans identify as Republicans, 31% as Independent and 23% as Democrats according to the poll.
Rogan and Trump are the most notorious spreaders of misinformation. Rogan has advocated using the antiparasitic drug ivermectin as a treatment against Covid-19 despite the Food and Drug Administration considering it an unauthorized and dangerous drug. In January, the company placed a content warning on Rogan's show after it was found that he shared potentially harmful Covid-19 misinformation. In March, Trump appeared on the Full SendPodcast that also attracts a largely conservative young male audience, but it was taken down after he talked about his false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.
A minimum of $200 million. The New York Times reported in February that Rogan was paid a lot of money for the rights to his show. Sources told the Times that the deal will last through next year and be worth over $60 million.
