Joe Rogan has remained impartial during the presidential rivalry between Donald Trump and Joe Biden and is never afraid to criticize either man. However, in a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the podcast host defended Trump from criticism other people give him in the media.
Rogan addressed public concerns over Trump potentially starting World War III, claiming that the current tenure of President Joe Biden is a bigger threat to that possibility. Rogan told his guest, comedian Sam Morril, that he is not in fear of Trump jeopardizing the country's safety due to what was seen when he last served as the commander-in-chief.
Rogan said:
"The problem is this administration [under Joe Biden] looks like they're on the verge of starting World War III and when Trump was in office, that didn't happen. Everybody keeps saying he's gonna be a dictator and this and that. That would be more sellable if we didn't have four years of him actually being the president and doing none of those things."
