Joe Rogan offers candid take on Donald Trump’s impact on politics

Joe Rogan recently expressed his unfiltered views on Donald Trump, claiming that the former President-elect inspires fear in both the political left and the so-called "deep state."

Rogan's remarks came during his appearance on episode #422 of The Tim Dillon Show, where he and Dillon discussed a variety of topics, including Trump's potential second term and the dynamics of American politics. He said:

"This is what I think the deep state is genuinely scared about with Trump. He genuinely wants to stop the wars, he's open saying it, that we've got to stop people from dying. That shouldn't be controversial. That shouldn't be something the left opposes...The fact he paid for his entire campaign himself, or funded it. It's different. they [the deep state] hate it."
