Rogan Breaks Down for a Confused Trump Why He Gets So Much Media Attention: ‘You’ve Said a Lot of Wild Shit!’
Joe Rogan broke down for former President Donald Trump why he gets so much more media attention than other politicians, informing him it’s the “wild shit” he says.
Trump joined Rogan on Friday for a nearly three hour episode of The Joe Rogan Experience where they discussed everything from Trump’s 2020 election conspiracy theories to President Joe Biden’s health. Trump noted at one point during the interview that he doesn’t know why he gets more “publicity” than those around him, leading to the exchange below:
DONALD TRUMP: “I always got more publicity than other people, and it wasn’t like I was trying. In fact, I don’t know exactly why, maybe you can tell me.”
JOE ROGAN: “Oh, I can definitely tell you. You’ve said a lot of wild shit.”
TRUMP (laughing): “Maybe.”
ROGAN: “You’ve said a lot of wild shit and then CNN, in their brilliance, by highlighting your wild shit made you much more popular. And they boost you in the polls because people were tired of someone talking in this bullshit, prepared politician lingo and even if they didn’t agree with you, they at least knew, whoever that guy is, that’s him. That’s really him. When you see certain people talk, certain people in the public eye, you don’t know who they are. You have no idea who they are. It’s very difficult to know. You see them in conversations, they have these preplanned answers, they say everything as if it’s rehearsed, you never get to the meat of it. One of the beautiful things about you is you freeball.”
Rogan went on to praise Trump’s comedic “timing,” pointing to moments like him telling Hillary Clinton in a debate that she’d “be in jail” if he were president as attention grabbers for media and refreshing bits for voters.
“You need at least the attitude of a comedian when you’re doing this business,” Trump said. “This is a very dangerous business.”
