“It’s been a whole thing where a hundred people, at least, have texted me and sent me emails and contacted friends because they heard [Donald] Trump was coming on my podcast. The source of it is a fake Trump account on Twitter. It’s Trump’s face, and it’s a fake account that said, ‘I’m going on the Joe Rogan podcast soon,'” said Rogan.
