Podcast host Joe Rogan said he would rather cast his ballot for President Trump than former Vice President Joe Biden.
During Rogan’s Friday podcast stream, the host discussed his frustration with Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president with guest Eric Weinstein, saying the Democratic Party has “made us all morons.”
“I can’t vote for him,” Rogan said. “I’d rather vote for Trump than him. I don’t think he can handle anything. We’re relying entirely on his Cabinet.” Rogan said he believes Biden is unable to communicate effectively, later suggesting that the stress of the presidency could worsen Biden’s cognitive condition.
“The pressure of being the president of the United States is something that no one has ever prepared for. The only one who seems to be fine with it is Trump, oddly enough. He doesn’t seem to be aging at all or in any sort of decline. You know, Obama almost immediately started looking older,” Rogan said.

In January, independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ran a campaign ad with flattering words from Rogan, which included a clip of Rogan saying he’d likely vote for the socialist. However, Rogan came under fire online after Sanders publicly welcomed Rogan’s support.
“All I said is I’m probably going to vote for him,” he said. Rogan noted at the time that, though he personally likes Sanders, he also likes Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and businessman Andrew Yang. He later cautioned listeners not to base their vote on his preferences.
“I don’t know what’s required to be a president. I really don’t,” he said. “Maybe we’re better off with Trump; maybe we’re better off with someone else.”
