Joe Rogan flat-out laughs at Trump's Jesus pic excuse
Podcaster Joe Rogan's disappointment in President Donald Trump has continued after the Republican leader posted a photo depicting himself as Jesus Christ. The photo has since been deleted and Trump explained that he thought it was depicting him as a doctor, but Rogan didn't buy it, The Hill recounted. “It’s hard. AI God. AI God has to come alive and take over the system,” Rogan said. “AI God: the one that created that Jesus meme that Trump just posted," he added. “Joe, I told you. He explained it. He was a doctor,” responded retired Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf, sarcastically. Rogan burst out laughing. “That’s what they call them. That’s what AI God calls Jesus. Jesus is a doctor,” Rogan replied.Rogan shifted from backing Trump in 2024 to criticizing him after the Iran war, immigration crackdowns and other issues he views as reckless. He has called MAGA supporters “dorks” and “unintelligent." After he abandoned Trump, Rogan called himself “politically homeless,” and argued that Trump betrayed voters by promising “no more wars” and then taking the U.S. into another Middle East conflict. Rogan has called Trump's mass deportation effort "insane," and openly questioned whether the Iran war was a distraction from other issues, like the files for the investigation of trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. While Rogan hasn't bought into being a Democrat, the broken promises from Trump sent him over the edge. “It’s so stupid. Neither one of them make any sense to me. We need like, a logical, centrist government that, like, just says there’s a lot of things that we should do to make this country a better place," Rogan said, complaining about both parties. The MAGA base has been similarly divided between Trump loyalists and those who bought into the "America First" principle that promised a withdrawal from all U.S. funding being sent to other countries. One of Elon Musk's big reasons for supporting Trump was the idea of reducing the national debt, but additional conflicts have already prompted Trump to ask Congress for the funds to continue the war. - YouTube youtube.com - YouTube www.youtube.com
