"It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC ring??? MAGA 2024."

As an avid UFC fan, Trump is one of the most beloved figures by the MMA fanbase. He typically receives a standing ovation upon his entrance at UFC events.
Trump's reaction was to Rogan saying on his podcast that Kennedy is the "only" presidential candidate who is not "gaslighting" voters. Rogan said he is a "fan" of Kennedy, whom he believes is the "only one that makes sense" as the next president of the United States.
Rogan has been routinely critical over the past year of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden but still considers himself to be politically independent.
Joe Rogan reacts to his statement on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Joe Rogan is often heard on his podcast giving his political thoughts but is keen on making sure his audience knows that he is "not the guy to get political information from."
The 56-year-old repeated that statement after his comments on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went viral, clarifying that it was "not an endorsement" and that he was purely commenting on the candidate as a person.
As the 2024 US presidential election inches closer, Rogan has not given any indication as to who he is leaning toward. Though he called Kennedy the "only guy who makes sense," Rogan has not even confirmed or denied whether or not he would vote.
