UFC commentator Joe Rogan and controversy are synonyms for each other. Rogan has a history of being surrounded by controversies and people’s wrath. In one such instance, the UFC commentator was on the radar of the ex-POTUS Donald Trump. However, Rogan, in turn, shared a picture on social media that ‘suggests’ the beef has now been squashed.
The ex-POTUS was seemingly upset about Rogan’s high praise of one of his opposition, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump did not hold his wrath against Rogan as the ex-POTUS lashed out on his socials. Following that, Rogan took to Instagram to hilariously update about his beef with a Trump look-alike. It was not Trump but Shane Gillis cosplaying as the ex-POTUS.
Ran into Trump. Everything is cool.

Rogan clarified the whole fiasco after Trump’s backlash on his social media. The UFC commentator revealed that he had no intentions of endorsing Kennedy amid the ongoing presidential campaign. However, the Independent candidate did appreciate Rogan’s honesty about him.
Interestingly, Rogan and Trump were also seen together at UFC 296, where they shook each other hands. Although the ex-POTUS never came into the popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast, it seems like both Rogan and Trump share a good bond. On several occasions, Rogan has heaped praise on the ex-POTUS.
However, Rogan, at times, does talk about a lot of controversial things on his podcast episodes. Interestingly, Donald Trump’s recent assassination attempt was also a part of the discussion in one of his podcast episodes. Not only that, the UFC commentator also once discussed Trump’s walkout at one of the UFC events.
