Donald Trump participated in a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan, a popular podcaster, discussing various cultural and political issues. Trump’s late arrival to a rally in Michigan due to the lengthy interview frustrated attendees who left. Trump criticized media, claimed the 2020 election was stolen, and suggested his last election would be if he wins. He discussed UFOs and praised confederate general Robert E. Lee. Rogan, known for hosting controversial guests, did not endorse any candidates in the election. Trump attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “not smart” and a bigger threat than foreign adversaries. Republican leaders warned that heated campaign talk could lead to another assassination attempt on Trump. Despite the criticism, Trump defended himself, claiming he was not a dictator but rather a “straight guy.” The interview showcased Trump’s controversial views on various topics, including environmental regulations, windmills, and his reelection campaign. The interview highlighted the influence of nontraditional media outlets like podcasts in shaping political discourse.
