Joe Rogan Seemingly Changes Tune On Trump With Telling Remarks About The President's 'Nutty' Decisions

Joe Rogan has criticized President Donald Trump's recent behavior amid growing concerns about the politician's health.

The famous podcaster described Trump's actions as "nutty" and suggested that the president may need a trusted right-hand man to help rein in some of his more extreme tendencies.

The White House recently released a statement claiming that the president was in good health. However, concerns about Donald Trump's health were renewed following his December 18 presidential address.

In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan hosted fellow comedian Tom Segura, and together, the two discussed several decisions the president has made in recent months.

During the conversation, Segura suggested that some of Trump's recent actions, including the renaming of the Kennedy Center after himself, indicate that the president may be "losing it."

Rogan responded by agreeing with Segura's assessment while also suggesting that Trump's "nutty" behavior could be attributed to his advanced age.

"I think everybody does when you get to a certain age," Rogan said about Trump, who turned 79 this year, per the Daily Mail.

The podcaster went on to blast Trump's new "wall of fame" of past presidents, in which he trolled his predecessor on a plaque as "Sleepy Joe Biden" and "by far, the worst President in American History."

"There's nothing nuttier than the plaques underneath the president's names," Rogan said of the gesture. He asked further, "How is this real? How are you allowed to do that?"

Looking ahead, Rogan said he believes Trump needs a trusted "right-hand man" who would advise him and help curb his more reckless tendencies.

To further his point, Rogan said it is even more necessary given everything Trump has faced in recent years.

This includes past accusations that Russia sought to meddle in the 2016 election to help Trump, a notion Trump has repeatedly referred to as the "Russian hoax." Rogan also referenced the assassination attempt on Trump that occurred prior to his second-term election victory.

"The stress of going through what that guy went through, where they were trying to jail him when they were going after him with the Russia thing, the Russia hoax, and all that sh-t," said Rogan.

"Like they were trying everything they could to destroy him, just that alone has gotta break your brain, and then they took a shot at him," he added.

Earlier in the month, the White House attempted to clarify rumors about Trump's health in a statement to reporters.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, shared that the president's MRI was "perfectly normal," his major organs "appear very healthy and well perfused," and that he "remains in excellent overall health.

"Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with no acute or chronic concerns," Leavitt said, per Politico. "In summary, this level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age."

Leavitt also mentioned that the tests, which were carried out in October, were meant to determine whether the president had any issues.

However, none were found, and the information is now being shared in a bid for transparency.

"I think that's quite a bit of detail in the effort of transparency," Leavitt said at the time. "The president promised it… and we have it delivered."

The concerns about Trump's health were further renewed after his presidential address on Wednesday night, December 17.

During the speech, the president took aim at his predecessor while also boasting about the success of his administration.

However, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, the former cardiologist of the late Vice President Dick Cheney, claimed that Trump's manner of speaking during the address showed that there were some issues with his health.

"The pace of this address is manic," the veteran doctor wrote on X, which he followed with another tweet saying, "I'm seriously concerned about the health of the president."

He later wrote, "No one should be happy to see the president like this. He looks unwell."

Netizens also supported Dr. Reiner's concerns about Trump's health in the comment section of his post.

"His behavior has grown even more erratic. In my view, the entire world should be concerned. No one in the industry could keep their job behaving this way," a user remarked.

"Slurring his words, unable to read, leaning onto the podium and clutching it with his left hand so he doesn't fall," another netizen wrote, adding, "Trump is not well."

However, some criticized Dr. Reiner's comments, accusing him of being more critical of Trump than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

A person wrote, "It's funny how unconcerned you were with Biden's health until the country was slapped in the face with it during the debate, and your only concern was possible sleep apnea? Go away."
