Joe Rogan accuses Donald Trump of using Iran war to bury Epstein scandal

Donald Trump Joe Rogan Epstein (Person) Iran

Joe Rogan has claimed Donald Trump may have started the war in Iran to divert public attention from the release of the Epstein files.
Rogan drew parallels between this situation and Bill Clinton's actions during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, where he allegedly bombed other countries as a distraction.
Despite endorsing Donald Trump in 2024, Rogan has become increasingly critical of him since the Iran conflict began, questioning his age and the potential for reckless decisions.
The podcaster criticised Donald Trump's 'Operation Epic Fury' in Iran, warning it could lead to World War III, and noted that many supporters felt betrayed by the war.
Rogan also expressed disdain for Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan and labelled parts of the MAGA base as 'f***ing dorks' and 'crackpot Christian nationalists' who support the war for religious reasons.
