Joe Rogan is America\u2019s most popular podcaster, averaging about 20 million<\/a> listeners per week. But Rogan consistently falls for fake images and videos online, even after they\u2019ve been widely debunked. The latest example? Rogan fell for another fake tweet on Wednesday that was supposedly from President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Rogan\u2019s latest episode had guests Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin, both conservative British political commentators, and the three men talked about the No Kings<\/a> protests that happened Oct. 18. The demonstrations saw millions of people take to the streets in opposition to Trump, and Rogan tried to belittle the efforts, insisting that people were being paid to be there and those who weren\u2019t being paid were just \u201cgeriatrics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rogan also claimed that if the protests were being allowed to happen at all that must be evidence Trump couldn\u2019t possibly be a king. And that\u2019s when he promoted the fake tweet he saw\u2014a post made to look like it was from the president on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, he didn\u2019t send the troops to stop the protests,\u201d said Rogan<\/a>. \u201cIn fact, he congratulated them on doing a great job and he said I\u2019m still your president. Tweet\u2019s fucking hilarious. It\u2019s very funny.\u201d One of Rogan\u2019s guest chimed in to say, \u201cyeah, I saw that,\u201d with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Rogan told his producer to pull up the tweet, though it seemed clear he was having trouble tracking it down. \u201cTry Truth Social,\u201d Rogan told his producer, who was just off-screen. \u201cYou can probably find an image of it since it was posted everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fake tweet Rogan seemed to be talking about reads, \u201cA HUGE THANK YOU to all the \u2018No Kings\u2019 protesters yesterday! I was very concerned a king was trying to take my place, but thanks to your tireless efforts, I am STILL YOUR PRESIDENT! Great job all!!!\u201d But there\u2019s nothing about it that\u2019s real.<\/p>\n

The producer never did seem to find the post, probably because he didn\u2019t want to tell Rogan it was fake. It\u2019s not even a recent fake tweet. It first started circulating around the first No Kings day on June 14<\/a>. The screenshot went viral back in June on platforms like X and Instagram. As the Daily Beast<\/a> notes, the president\u2019s son Donald Trump Jr. shared the fake tweet but acknowledged it was fake.<\/p>\n

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo shared the fake post in June as well, though she didn\u2019t know it wasn\u2019t real<\/a>. The post seems to have circulated again over the weekend, though Gizmodo couldn\u2019t find any example that went particularly viral of late.<\/p>\n

Rogan droned on and on about the protests during his show and claimed they were identical to what happened with Kamala Harris\u2019s 2024 presidential campaign. The podcast host insisted that the Harris campaign \u201cfilled up stadiums\u201d with people who were paid to be there, a claim with no basis in fact. Rogan said that it \u201cbecame a job\u201d for the people at Harris rallies and that \u201cshould not be legal\u201d because it\u2019s \u201cdeception.\u201d<\/p>\n

Incredibly, Trump\u2019s actual commentary on the No Kings protests is somehow more aggressive than the fake version Rogan highlighted Wednesday. In reality, Trump shared an AI video on Truth Social showing himself flying a fighter jet and dumping literal shit on protesters.<\/p>\n

Rogan is not a particularly bright man. But, again, he has an enormous audience in the millions. And he\u2019s always falling for fake shit, whether it\u2019s AI videos of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz<\/a> or tweets about \u201cJewish tunnels,\u201d sourced to fake accounts with characters like Dick Stroker<\/a>.<\/p>\n
