Ex-UFC star issues two-word response to Donald Trump slamming Joe Rogan for praising Robert Kennedy Jr.
Donald Trump recently launched a passive-aggressive jibe at Joe Rogan after the latter's comments about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his podcast. While Rogan didn't explicitly endorse the independent presidential candidate, he backed Kennedy Jr.'s character and intelligence.
Rogan has also lauded Kennedy Jr. for not using crude tactics or launching personal attacks on his opponents during his presidential campaign and has repeatedly highlighted his credible track record. Trump didn't take kindly to the comedian's comments, drawing a reaction from former UFC welterweight Ben Askren.
On Truth Social, Trump reacted to Rogan's comments in episode #2185 of The Joe Rogan Experience.
"It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC ring???"
Trump is an avid UFC fan and regularly attends pay-per-views. He is often received with thunderous applause at UFC events. Nevertheless, the former president's hostile reaction towards Rogan didn't sit well with Askren.
Reacting to the American politician's post, the former ONE and Bellator champion wrote:
"So dumb."
Robert F Kennedy Jr. thanks Joe Rogan for high praise
While political rival Donald Trump wasn't happy with Joe Rogan's comments, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was grateful for the podcaster's high praise. In a recent post on X, the 70-year-old extended his heartfelt gratitude towards the UFC commentator, writing:
"From one 'Legitimate' guy to another, thank you Joe Rogan for always putting substance first... This election is not about left vs. right. It's about Americans of goodwill coming together to end the tyranny of corruption in our system, so that we once again have a government and an economy that works for all. Let's do this."
