Joe Rogan’s presence at Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony was more than a cameo—it was a full-circle moment for the podcast king whose influence arguably tipped the scales of the election. Donald Trump was recently sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America. His inauguration ceremony featured many notable stars, including Dana White, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Conor McGregor, and many more. The podcaster might be happy witnessing the guy he supported sore into office but some of his fans might beg to differ.

In November of last year, Donald Trump nearly decimated the Democratic government by defeating them by a margin of 49.8% to 48.3%, becoming the second US president in history to serve two separate non-consecutive terms. Two months after his victory, Trump swore back into the Oval Office. What was Joe Rogan’s response to witnessing the massive swearing-in ceremony? The multi-million dollar podcaster has only six words for the experience.

When uploading a photo of Capitol Hill, Joe Rogan captioned it, “Well… that was pretty fu–ing surreal.” Joe Rogan officially endorsed Donald Trump in his campaign, which compelled the US President to thank him after his victory. Regardless, the multi-million dollar podcaster is not the only huge personality who embraced Capitol Hill for the ceremony. 

Some of the names who witnessed Trump’s swearing-in ceremony are: Singer Lee Greenwood, Musician Kid Rock, Y.M.C.A. hitmakers The Village People, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, comedian and celebrity roaster Jeffrey Ross, retired NHL legend Wayne Gretzky and his wife, actor Janet Jones, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Cheryl Hines, comedian and This Past Weekend podcast host Theo Von, Jake Paul, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk, UFC CEO Dana White and much more.

Well, Joe Rogan’s sudden fascination with the Republican party as well as Donald Trump appeared to have irked certain sectors of fans who were Democrat supporters and they grilled the million-dollar podcaster for his existence at the swearing-in ceremony. Let us have a look at what the fans are talking about.

Joe Rogan slammed by fans for attending Donald Trump’s oath-taking ceremony

A fan has a specific request for Joe Rogan: they want the podcaster to invite Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son, onto his podcast, “Can you bring Barron Trump on podcast”. It must be noted that Barron was the one who compelled his father to do a podcast with Joe Rogan and it became a game-changer for him. Why? As many as 54 million people across the world have watched the episode only on YouTube. Many believe that Rogan’s podcast was monumental for Trump’s victory.

Furthermore, a social media user emphasized that the aura of that place must be something considering the fact that most of the high-profile people from across the world were invited to the ceremony, “The energy there must be unbelievable.” Back when Joe Rogan was living in California, he seemed to be left leaning and believed in their principles but after COVID, the podcaster understood the flaws in their ideas. However, a fan believes that the podcaster has just regressed “Bro went from a free thinker to maxed out sheep baa.”

Moreover, another fan called out Joe Rogan for attending the ceremony, “Sellout.” A social media user was heartbroken by the fact that the podcaster let his platform be a place to endorse big companies and politicians, “So sad to see Joe being a complete sellout. Imagine telling Joe 15 years ago that he was going to be the platform used by the tech and political elites to soften their image.” Last but not least, Joe Rogan got a verdict and a reality check from a fan, “I liked Rogan better when he was against the system.”
