If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.

The endorsement follows a lengthy and widely discussed interview between Rogan and Trump in October. The conversation covered a wide range of topics, from Trump’s first term in office to his transition from business to politics, and even controversial issues like the 2020 election. During the interview, Trump shared personal stories, including an incident where he showed a scar from an alleged assassination attempt, which added to the intense interest around his campaign.
Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and known Trump supporter, also made a surprise appearance on Rogan’s podcast, voicing his concerns about the Democratic Party and criticizing what he called “hoaxes” against Trump. Musk’s appearance further solidified Rogan’s stance, as he expressed strong support for Trump’s vision. Rogan wrote on X that Musk “makes the most compelling case for Trump” and that he agreed with him every step of the way.
Rogan’s endorsement is significant, as his podcast boasts millions of listeners, particularly among young men, which aligns with a demographic Trump has worked hard to engage. With over 14 million followers on Spotify and 17 million subscribers on YouTube, Rogan’s influence could help sway undecided voters in the close race between Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Trump has already welcomed Rogan’s support, calling it “great news.” Rogan’s backing could also provide a boost for Trump in states with younger voters, a group that has been crucial in this election. Interestingly, Rogan’s political shift is notable. The podcaster, who once expressed doubts about Trump and previously supported figures like Bernie Sanders and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now strongly backs the former president.
This endorsement is part of a broader trend where celebrities and public figures are lending their support to candidates ahead of the election. On the other side, Kamala Harris has received endorsements from stars like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, while Trump continues to gain momentum from figures like Musk and Rogan.
As the election day approaches, all eyes are on the final push to capture voter attention, and Rogan’s endorsement could play a pivotal role in influencing the outcome of this highly contested race.
