In a highly anticipated three-hour interview with Joe Rogan, Donald Trump touched on a wide range of cultural and political issues prior to a campaign rally in Michigan. The interview, which is part of Trump turning to nontraditional media outlets in the lead-up to Election Day, covered topics such as the war in Ukraine, the 2020 election being stolen, and his plans for the future. Trump claimed that the 2020 election changes were not properly approved by legislators and suggested that he may not run for president again if he wins. He continued to push the false narrative of the election being stolen despite admitting to losing to Joe Biden by a narrow margin.
During the interview, Trump made questionable comments about UFOs, the environment, and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he criticized as “not smart” and a threat to the nation. Trump also defended himself against accusations of being a dictator and expressed admiration for Confederate general Robert E. Lee, stating that generals he talks to view Lee as a “genius.” The interview highlighted Trump’s contentious rhetoric as he faces increasing criticism and concerns over the impact of his campaign messaging.
Despite the importance of being on Rogan’s popular podcast, Trump’s controversial statements and divisive rhetoric have continued to draw criticism and scrutiny from political opponents and media outlets. The interview with Rogan exemplified Trump’s approach to media engagement and his willingness to address a variety of topics, albeit controversially, as he navigates the final weeks of his campaign.
