Trump Explains 2020 Election to Rogan: A Wild Ride
Remember that time Trump went on Joe Rogan's podcast and, well, it was wild. He did the whole "stolen election" spiel, but this time, he really went in-depth.
You'd think after all this time, the guy would have moved on. Nope! He still believes those "rigged" voting machines, those "fake ballots," all of it. Joe Rogan, bless his heart, seemed like he was trying to follow along, but it was like trying to catch a greased pig.
The "Rigged" Election Narrative: A Rehash of Old Claims
Trump brought up all his usual suspects: Dominion voting machines, the "millions" of fake ballots, and of course, the "deep state" out to get him. Joe Rogan, while not buying into it all, seemed to give Trump some rope. He even brought up the "2000 Mules" conspiracy theory.
Trump's "Evidence": A Collection of Conspiracy Theories
He presented his "evidence" which, to put it mildly, was a grab bag of stuff that had been debunked over and over. He kept talking about "voter fraud," but never provided any real proof.
Rogan's Response: A Mix of Skepticism and Respect
Joe Rogan, while not a Trump supporter, kept things civil. He did, however, press Trump on the lack of concrete evidence, leading to some back-and-forth that was more like two buddies arguing over sports than a political debate.
The Takeaways:
- Trump is not letting go: He's still clinging to the "stolen election" narrative, even as it's been widely disputed.
- Rogan is a good listener: He let Trump speak his mind, but it's clear he wasn't buying into all of it.
- The public is left with more questions than answers: The whole thing was more of a spectacle than a serious discussion.
The episode was a fascinating look into the mind of a man still deeply convinced he was cheated out of the presidency.
It's a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming evidence, some people will never change their minds. And that, frankly, is a little scary.
