President Trump needs to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience instead of a presidential debate that’s rigged against him.
Debates are a thing of the past for conventional presidents, but Trump wasn’t elected for being conventional.
The president also has something to gain by focusing less on Biden and more on American voters – and more people are going to tune into a Trump/Rogan podcast than they are to a presidential debate.
Case in point, Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk had over 37 million views. The podcast with Alex Jones had over 23 million.
In comparison, the first Trump/Biden debate amassed around 34 million total viewers, according to Nielsen, and Trump can pull in a bigger audience than that on the Rogan podcast if Musk can.
Frankly speaking, Trump’s voter base isn’t just limited to baby boomers who watch Sean Hannity, although they’re a sizable segment that can’t be ignored.
Nothing against Hannity, but as mentioned, Trump is not a conventional president. He didn’t win by conventional means.
And, of course, baby boomers will tune into a Trump/Rogan podcast as will every other age demographic because it’s sensational.
In contrast, doing presidential debates and giving interviews to mainstream media outlets are all very conventional – and, frankly, they’re getting a little dull.
The enthusiasm of his voting base can’t sustain itself; much like a camp fire on a cattle drive, Trump must tend to the flames of excitement to keep them burning – and now is the time.
That’s why it’s critical for him to go on the Joe Rogan podcast and do something historic that no president has ever done – and Trump’s speaking style and his mannerisms are all well-suited for a podcast appearance.
On the other hand, it’s harder for Trump to get his message to voters in a presidential debate when his microphone is being cut off and he’s having to debate a biased moderator in addition to Biden.
Trump has already called the next presidential debate “fixed” after the scheduled moderator, Steve Scully, publicly asked former White House Communications Director (and anti-Trumper) Anthony Scaramucci for advice about how to “respond to Trump.”
In Sept., Rogan invited both Trump and Biden to a four-hour, unedited debate. Trump almost immediately accepted, but the Biden campaign refused to even consider the offer.
The president needs to go on the podcast without Biden.
Seriously, don’t you think Rogan would have had far more interesting questions than Chris Wallace?
