Joe Rogan was one of Donald Trump's biggest supporters in the 2024 election. But the podcast host has admittedly been critical of Trump since his reelection.

Now, on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan is questioning whether Trump has "f---ed it up." Rogan is referring to the war with Iran, a conflict that has been going on for months. The United States and Iran have resumed attacks after a ceasefire fell apart. Rogan was speaking with British politician Rupert Lowe.
Joe Rogan Speaks Out About Trump and Iran
That's when talks turned to Trump and Iran.
"We might've f—ed it up by going to Iran. I mean, this war is not something anybody that's conservative wanted. Most people don't want it, except supporters of Israel," Rogan said. "They're the only people that seem to be thinking it's a good idea in this country."
Rogan says that he is "horrified" of war. The podcaster believes that Trump hasn't kept his promise of no new wars, something he campaigned on. "Most people are horrified by the idea because Trump was elected. One of the pillars that he stood for apparently was that he doesn't want any more wars," Rogan said.
Rogan seems to have been back and forth on the president and his actions. Just earlier in the month, Rogan praised Trump's UFC Freedom 250 event for being so American and so Trump. But in June, he criticized Trump's immigration force as being on "a very slippery slope."
"What bothers me is we're opening the door for militarized police on our city streets," Rogan said. "That's a precedent that you might like it when it's for a cause that you support, but that could easily be for a cause that you do not support."
He also called out Trump for how he handled the Epstein files and for his reaction to the death of Rob Reiner as well. It would seem that Rogan remains on the fence with the president, but there have been recent decisions that left the podcaster with a bad taste in his mouth.
