In a recent conversation, popular podcast host Joe Rogan made it clear where he stands regarding the potential 2024 presidential race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Let’s delve into Rogan’s insights and the reasons behind his stance.
The Unwavering Trump Base
Rogan believes that no Republican candidate stands a chance against Trump in the primaries. According to him, Trump’s supporters are unwaveringly loyal, and anyone who opposes Trump becomes an immediate adversary. Rogan even went as far as advising hypothetical friends like DeSantis against running, emphasizing Trump’s undeniable charisma and the fervor he generates among his base.
Trump’s Policy Effectiveness
Rogan highlighted that, from a policy perspective, Trump’s tenure was effective. He pointed to the country’s strong economic situation, lowered unemployment rates, and relaxed regulations as evidence of Trump’s successful policies. Rogan urged listeners to separate their personal feelings about Trump’s personality from his policy outcomes.
Changing Perspectives on Immigration
Rogan also touched upon the changing perspectives on immigration, noting that even staunch opponents of Trump’s wall are now seeing the need for stricter immigration controls. He cited the New York City mayor’s call to halt immigration as an example of this shift.
The Impact of COVID-19
Rogan acknowledged the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic during Trump’s tenure, including the economic downturn and lockdowns. However, he emphasized Trump’s promise to restore the country to its pre-pandemic state as a strong selling point for his potential 2024 campaign.
Controversies and Media Suppression
Rogan criticized the media and intelligence agencies for suppressing stories like the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. He expressed concern over the collusion of intelligence agencies to prevent Trump’s presidency, especially given the nation’s prosperity during Trump’s term.
Rogan’s Vote
When posed with the question of whom he’d support in a hypothetical 2024 race between Trump and Biden, Rogan was clear: Trump would get his vote. He expressed skepticism about Biden’s capabilities and effectiveness as a leader.
Conclusion
Joe Rogan’s comments provide a window into the mindset of many Americans who view Trump’s policies as effective, irrespective of their personal feelings about him. As the 2024 elections approach, it will be interesting to see how these perspectives play out on the national stage.
