UPDATE: Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan has ignited a firestorm with his recent suggestion that Donald Trump should run for Governor of California as a way to confront his political adversary, Gavin Newsom. This bold proposal came during the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, where Rogan shared insights on the current climate in California.
In a discussion with U.K. comic Francis Foster and political commentator Konstantin Kasin, Rogan expressed that many of his friends are “fleeing L.A.” due to the social unrest intensified by the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests. “There’s something that happened… it’s time to move north,” Rogan stated, highlighting the growing dissatisfaction among residents.
Rogan’s outrageous idea? “What Donald Trump should do is run for Governor of California when he leaves office in 2029 and just take over California and fix it,” he proposed. “It would be one of the funniest things of all time if an 82-year-old man steps into the office of governor of California.” His comments have sparked widespread intrigue and discussion regarding a potential Trump candidacy for California’s top office.
This conversation comes amid escalating tensions between Trump and Newsom. Just hours before Rogan’s podcast aired, Newsom ramped up his criticisms of Trump after the former president threatened to deploy federal agents to San Francisco. “This is right out of the dictator’s handbook,” Newsom proclaimed on social media platform X. He accused Trump of fabricating crime rates to justify his militaristic approach to governance.
“YOUR KNEES LOOK VERY SORE FROM ALL YOUR GROVELING. THEY WILL EVEN BE SIGNED BY YOUR DEAR LEADER SINCE YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH! YOU ARE WELCOME!!!!”
Newsom’s rhetoric has intensified, as he not only criticized Trump but also took a jab at corporate leaders and institutions that he believes are capitulating to Trump’s influence. His sarcastic remarks about selling “signature series” knee pads have gone viral, illustrating the deepening divide between the two political figures.
Rogan’s comments are stirring reactions across the political spectrum, with many supporters finding humor in the notion of Trump taking charge of California. Conversely, Trump has recently been under scrutiny for his divisive remarks, such as his statement at Charlie Kirk’s memorial where he expressed hostility toward his opponents.
As this story develops, political analysts are closely watching the interactions between Trump and Newsom, especially as the 2024 election approaches. Could Rogan’s suggestion become a reality? Only time will tell, but the landscape is certainly heating up.
Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving political saga and what it could mean for California and the nation at large.
