Joe Rogan Amplifies Debunked Trump Hoax During 'No Kings' Protest Rant

Joe Rogan, a popular podcaster with over 20 million listeners, was misled by a fake tweet purportedly from President Donald Trump that humorously thanked "No Kings" protesters for their efforts against an alleged king. Rogan praised the fake post during a recent podcast episode, despite the tweet having been widely debunked and acknowledged as fake by Donald Trump Jr. The "No Kings" protests, which drew millions nationwide, were dismissed by Rogan as paid and ineffective, echoing conspiracy theories without presenting evidence. In reality, President Trump responded more aggressively, sharing an AI video depicting him dumping waste on protesters, which drew criticism from others such as singer Kenny Loggins. Additionally, Rogan has criticized Trump’s immigration policies, condemning federal raids on undocumented immigrants and advocating for compassionate approaches toward long-term residents with no criminal records. These incidents highlight Rogan’s mixed stance on Trump, showing both defense against protests and criticism of certain policies, alongside a pattern of falling for misinformation.
