Joe Rogan gave an eyebrow-raising assessment of President Donald Trump while interviewing a guest on his wildly popular “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
The Daily Mail reported that Rogan was interviewing tech billionaire Jensen Huang, founder, president and CEO of NVIDIA, when he gave his take on the commander-in-chief.
Huang recounted how he was with the president one time and Trump was talking about plans for a UFC event at the White House when the president suddenly decided he wanted to call Rogan.
Rogan laughed and of the president said, “He’s like a kid. He’s like a 79-year-old kid.”
Rogan then gave an off-the-wall assessment of the commander-in-chief.
“He’s an odd guy,” Rogan said.
The podcaster continued, “Just very different than what you’d expect from him, very different than what people think of him. And also, just very different as a president. The guys just calls or texts you out of the blue. Also, when he texts you, he makes the text go big.”
Huang said that he was left surprised by Trump after meeting him for the first time.
“One-on-one, President Trump surprised me,” he said. “He’s an incredibly good listener. Almost everything I’ve ever said to him, he’s remembered.”
Said Rogan, “People only want to look at negative stories or negative narratives on him.”
Rogan said, “I mean you can catch anyone on a bad day. there are a lot of things he does that I don’t think he should do. I don’t think he should say to a reporter, ‘Quiet, piggy.’ That’s pretty ridiculous. Also, objectively funny. It’s unfortunate that it happened to her, I wouldn’t want that to happen to her, but it was funny.”
Said Rogan “But he’s an interesting guy. A lot of different things wrapped up into one person.”
Rogan was referring to an exchange Trump had with a female reporter who had asked him about the MRI test he had taken earlier this year.
Rogan backed Trump in last year’s election, but has also spoken out against the president, including over administration ICE raids against illegal immigration.
