Joe Rogan Agrees Trump Is ‘Losing It’: ‘How Is This Real?’
Rogan said there’s “nothing nuttier” than the plaques Trump put under the former president’s photos.
Podcaster Joe Rogan has come to terms with the fact that the man he endorsed for president in 2024 is not all there one year later.
When Rogan’s guest Tom Segura declared that Donald Trump was “losing it” on The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan agreed, adding, “I think everybody does when you get to a certain age.” Segura brought up several examples, including Trump’s renaming of the Kennedy Center in his own honor.

“That’s nutty,” Rogan said, but “there’s nothing nuttier than the plaques underneath the president’s names” in the White House, he declared. Rogan said he thought to himself after reading them, “How is this real?” Trump added new plaques to his White House “Presidential Walk of Fame” last week, demeaning many former presidents with tacky insults.
“Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History,” reads one, while another calls Barack Obama “one of the most divisive political figures in American History.”
Rogan wondered aloud on Tuesday, “How are you allowed to do that?” The podcast host suggested that Trump should get himself a “right-hand man,” someone who could say “Sir, I understand the motive…” and then talk him out of his craziest ideas.

In addition to age, Rogan said, “The stress of going through what that guy went through, where they were trying to jail him when they were going after him with the Russia thing, the Russia hoax, and all that s--t. Like they were trying everything they could to destroy him, just that alone’s gotta break your brain,” he said. “And then they took a shot at him,” he added, referring to the July attempt on Trump’s life.
Elsewhere in the conversation, as Rogan complained of redacted information from the DOJ’s Epstein file dumps, he demanded accountability from Epstein’s co-conspirators while keeping Trump’s name out of the entire discussion.

“They’re doing it so slowly,” Rogan complained about Trump’s Department of Justice. “Like you guys have had this stuff for a year. Doesn’t it seem like you could just throw all that into AI at this stage of the game? And just redact the names of the victims, and let’s go.”
