Joe Rogan Has Had Enough Of Trump’s Dictatorship

Not long ago, Joe Rogan began expressing concerns about Donald Trump’s ICE raids and mass deportations, creating the first fissure in that relationship. But as the weeks have gone on, Rogan has become increasingly critical of Trump on everything from the Epstein scandal to this rounding up of college student protestors. Rogan appears to be done supporting Trump’s dictatorship, and if Trump loses that voice in his corner it could be the beginning of the end. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

During last year's presidential campaign, Donald Trump got a lot of help from these, you know, bro influencers out there. The guys who get out there and make stupid little videos, trying to convince men that you need to be like these idiots. And Joe Rogan was one of the leading voices. 'cause let's be honest, all the dude bros love listening to Joe Rogan, right? He's kinda like that, uh, older brother of your best friend who doesn't know much about anything but thinks he's know, he knows a lot about everything and just tells you the most random, weird, stupid stuff you've ever heard. We all grew up with somebody like that, by the way. Um. So we all know that. Best friend's, older brother type guy, and that's what Joe Rogan has become. So Rogan helped prop up Donald Trump. He supported him, he voted for him. And then a few weeks ago, maybe a month or two ago, actually, Joe Rogan came out and said, you know, he's not quite sure that Donald Trump is being honest about who is actually deporting, you know, 'cause of all the reports that ICE is having to raid workplaces to get workers, not, you know, gang dens to get criminals.

They're getting the hardworking people who are economy is dependent upon. And that didn't sit well with Joe Rogan, but, you know, he voiced his concerns about it, voiced his concerns about shipping people to other countries to be tortured potentially. And then Rogan kind of let that simmer. But this week, in the last week, the last seven days, Joe Rogan has seemingly come out, almost guns blazing, metaphorically at Donald Trump. It all started, uh, uh, many days ago when, on an episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan just came right out and said that Donald Trump is gaslighting the country about the Epstein scandal. He literally said, gaslighting, Trump is gaslighting us about all this. And I agree a hundred percent with Joe Rogan. You know, all this, like, there is no list, but there is a list. But it was created by Democrats who also had no ability or authority to create it, because none of this happened while Democrats were in power.

He's gaslighting us folks. So Rogan, of course, this was not the first time he attacked the administration over their handling of the Epstein scandal, but this was probably the most poignant and the most direct. And it didn't in there because Rogan is apparently still angry and getting angrier about the deportation. Specifically the fact that the administration is trying to deport student protestors who don't wanna see any more starving children killed in Gaza. Apparently that's a bad thing. And yes, Trump made it clear at the beginning of his administration, any of you folks go out there and protest this war, I'm gonna deport you unless

You're, you know, staunchly pro-Israel, keep killing the Palestinians, then yeah, you can stay. But here's how that conversation went down. It's a conversation he had with comedian Mike Vichie. And Rogan said, they're kicking out, they're kicking students out that like, write articles they don't like. And Vee said, yeah, that's nuts. And Rogan said, crazy. Isn't a university supposed to be a place where someone's allowed to express themselves and have opinions? And Vichie said, nonviolently and Rogan says, yeah, they're writing something down and they're not calling for violence either. And they're getting challenged. They're supposed to be, that's supposed to be how it happens. You get challenged, smarter people have better arguments, or your argument stands. That's what it's supposed to be, deporting people because you don't like who they're criticizing. Like that gets kind of shifty.
