Kamala Harris has been laying low. Really low. For months, the vice president has been largely absent from the media spotlight, only appearing in a few interviews here and there. When she has ventured into the interview arena, the results have been nothing short of disastrous.
Remember her infamous NBC interview where she struggled to explain the administration’s COVID-19 plan? Or how about her uncomfortable laughter when asked about visiting the border? These moments have left even her supporters cringing.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been doing what he does best—dominating the media. The former president has taken a different approach, giving interviews left and right to everyone from the Nelk Boys’ Full Send podcast to Theo Von’s This Past Weekend.
Love him or hate him, Trump’s strategy is clear: get in front of every camera, every mic, and let the people hear him. His charm, sharp wit, and total disregard for political correctness have kept him in the limelight, while Harris seems to be hiding in the shadows.
During his recent appearance on the Nelk Boys’ Full Send podcast, former President Donald Trump revealed that he will be appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast…
“You’re doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I would love to see you on, I think Joe Rogan has to have you on. Would you do that?” Forgeard asked.
Trump responded by saying, “I think I’m doing it, actually?”

Trump confirmed, “Yeah, I am.” He went on to compliment Rogan’s podcasting skills, noting that Rogan had a “good voice,” while the Full Send hosts referred to Rogan as an “honest guy.” [Source: The Post Millennial]
If Trump’s recent media blitz wasn’t enough, there’s an even bigger bombshell on the horizon: an interview with Joe Rogan. Yes, you read that right. Trump is set to sit down with one of the most popular—and controversial—podcast hosts in the country. During a Full Send interview, Trump casually dropped the news when asked if he’d appear on Rogan’s show. “I think I’m doing it, actually,” he said, sending shockwaves across social media.
Rogan, known for his blunt takes and refusal to bow to political correctness, has a massive following, many of whom lean towards Trump’s base despite Rogan not officially aligning with any party. This conversation could be the one that blows America away.
Now, let’s be real: this isn’t your typical political interview. Rogan’s long-form, no-holds-barred style is what makes his show so intriguing. He’s not afraid to push back, which means Trump’s usual charm might face a real test. Either way, get your popcorn ready. This interview is bound to be a spectacle.
Let’s dive into the significance. While Kamala Harris continues to avoid tough interviews, Trump has taken the opposite approach, embracing every media opportunity. His appearances on podcasts have shown that he can adapt to new media formats and reach younger, more engaged audiences.
From Lex Fridman to Theo Von, Trump has proven that he’s ready and willing to speak to anyone. And now, the potential interview with Joe Rogan adds a whole new layer of intrigue.
Why is this important? Because Rogan, despite being a self-proclaimed non-Trump supporter, resonates with conservatives on key issues. Whether it’s his disdain for strict COVID-19 mandates or his advocacy for free speech, Rogan’s audience aligns with many of Trump’s positions.
This could be the interview that finally bridges the gap between the two, despite their previous tension. Just a year ago, Rogan turned down Trump, saying he didn’t want to “help him” politically. But times have changed, and it seems both men are now open to the idea.
This isn’t just a regular media appearance; it’s a game-changer. Trump, already the master of media, is stepping into Rogan’s world—a world where conversations run for hours, and there’s no cutting to commercial.
How will Trump handle Rogan’s deep-dive questions? And more importantly, how will this interview impact the 2024 election?
