Donald Trump denies ever being invited to Joe Rogan’s podcast, contradicting Rogan’s claims

"I’m not asking him. I’m not asking anybody," Trump said when discussing the podcast with Lex Fridman.

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, Donald Trump has been making appearances on several top podcasts, including Logan Paul’s 'Impaulsive' and Theo Von’s 'This Past Weekend'.

However, one notable absence remains: the *Joe Rogan Experience*. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman, Trump claimed that he had never been asked to appear on Rogan’s podcast, a statement that has left many scratching their heads.

During the conversation with Fridman, Trump downplayed any tension with Rogan, despite the podcaster’s apparent endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president.

Trump had previously criticized Rogan on *Truth Social*, writing, "I wonder how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC ring???"

When asked about the situation, Trump responded, "I don’t think there was any tension and I’ve always liked him. But I don’t know him. I think he’s good at what he does but I don’t know about doing his podcast. I mean, I guess I’d do it but I haven’t been asked and I’m not asking him. I’m not asking anybody."

However, Rogan had a different perspective on the matter.

During a 2022 appearance on Fridman’s podcast, Rogan revealed that he had been offered multiple chances to interview Trump but turned them down.

"I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him," Rogan stated.

This conflicting narrative has sparked speculation about the real reason behind Trump’s absence on Rogan’s podcast.

While Trump maintains he hasn’t been invited, Rogan insists he’s had opportunities but deliberately passed on them.

Whether the two will ever sit down for a conversation on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' remains to be seen.

Rogan has also voiced his opinions on the current presidential race, describing RFK Jr. as the only candidate that “…makes sense to me.”

He clarified in a later post on X that this was not an endorsement, but rather an appreciation of RFK Jr.’s approach to discussions.

Meanwhile, Rogan called Trump’s reaction to a failed assassination attempt as “one of the most American f**king things of all time,” adding complexity to their potential relationship.

As the 2024 election draws closer, fans of both Trump and Rogan are left wondering if this podcast meeting will ever take place.
