"Conor drunken tweet incoming" - Fans react to Donald Trump calling Joe Rogan "a Khabib person" on latest JRE episode

Donald Trump made his long-awaited appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) on Friday, where he urged the podcaster to back his campaign in the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election.

During their conversation, Trump shared how he recently received SpaceX founder Elon Musk's endorsement in Butler, Pennsylvania, and went on to urge Rogan to support his presidential run against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris:

"He [Musk] gave me the nicest endorsement. You should do the same thing, Joe, because you cannot be voting for Kamala. Kamala. You’re not a Kamala person. I know you."

The former POTUS further humorously invoked UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov in an attempt to get Rogan's endorsement:

"I have watched you for so many years. You’re not a Kamala person. You’re a Khabib person – but you’re not a Kamala person."

"Conor [McGregor], drunken tweet incoming."

"Tears Colby [Covington] made his whole personality about meat riding Trump just for Trump to like Khabib better."

Another commented:

"His MMA-politics lore goes hard."

It's widely recognized that Trump has a passion for MMA and frequently attends UFC events. In a conversation with popular streamer Adin Ross in August, the Republican leader named Nurmagomedov as his favorite fighter in the sport.

When Joe Rogan gushed over Donald Trump’s impression of Elon Musk

During an episode of his podcast in September, Joe Rogan engaged in a lively discussion about the 2024 U.S. presidential debates with stand-up comedian Tom Segura. The UFC commentator heaped accolades on Donald Trump for his remarkable impression of Elon Musk.

Rogan noted that the former president possesses an extraordinary talent for public speaking, comparing his delivery to that of a veteran comedian:

"The thing that [Trump] does, and it’s just like, he can do it better than anybody alive, is just riff. He can go out there and have a crowd of people, and he’s funny, man. He does things like he did an Elon [Musk] impression the other day; it was hilarious... He’s killing it. He kills like a comedian... He’s funny, like a comic. It’s just like, we don’t necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button."
