In a recent episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, host Joe Rogan and guest Dan Henderson expressed nostalgia for former President Donald Trump’s time in office.
“Boy, do things change,” mused Rogan, reflecting on the era before Trump ran for president in 2016. “He was in all the rap songs, rappers would always talk about Trump, everybody loved Trump. He was like this wheeling, dealing billionaire character that everybody enjoyed.”
Henderson, a retired mixed martial artist, agreed with Rogan, saying he felt like Trump “did a decent job” as president.
“It’s true,” Rogan chimed in. “When you look at his regulations, it certainly helped the economy.”
Both hosts lamented the current state of the world under President Joe Biden’s administration. “I feel like we were in a lot better spot then than now, for sure,” Henderson stated.
“I couldn’t agree more,” Rogan responded. “Right now, I’m like ‘Boy, this is not good.'”
Rogan expressed concern about the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, stating that “there’s no good solutions” and everything “looks terrible.” He also mentioned his fear of a potential nuclear war breaking out, something he had never worried about before. “All it takes is one person to launch a nuke and the world changes forever. I’ve never felt like that was a possibility in my lifetime until now,” Rogan said.
He then drew comparisons to the start of World War II, saying, “This must have been what it felt like at the beginning of World War 3.”
The hosts also discussed Trump’s impact on the economy during his time in office, with Rogan noting that “he did a decent job” and Henderson agreeing that “he certainly helped the economy.”
