Joe Rogan spotted getting chummy with Donald Trump at inauguration party

Despite waiting until the last moment to endorse Trump, controversial podcaster Joe Rogan has since struck up a bromance with the president.

Joe Rogan and his family have been rubbing shoulders with Donald Trump ahead of the former TV star’s inauguration.

The controversial podcaster and his family were invited to attend the inauguration party ahead of the big day.

Rogan ditched his usual attire and suited up for the glitzy bash and was seen grinning as he posed with Trump, who was a guest on his podcast last year.

His daughter, Lola, shared some pictures with Trump on her Instagram page during the event.

Rogan’s wife Ditzel was also snapped in the photo. The pair married in 2009 but she often stays out of the spotlight.

Also in attendance were the likes of UFC CEO Dana White, who posed with Rogan and Trump, and controversial UFC star Conor McGregor.

After months of refusing to endorse a candidate, just one day before election day Rogan shared his support for Trump in what was considered a pivotal moment.

“The great and powerful @elonmusk,” he wrote on Elon Musk’s platform X, formerly Twitter.

“If it wasn’t for him we’d be f***ed. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.

“For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.

“Enjoy the podcast.”

Musk has grown increasingly close to Trump in recent months, with the pair striking up a friendship that has many critics nervous of what impact it could have on future policies.

Meanwhile, Rogan’s official endorsement of Trump came a week after the Republican appeared on a three-hour episode the Joe Rogan Experience, which attracts tens of millions of listeners.

The controversial mixed martial arts commentator is particularly popular with young men, a demographic that ended up coming out in support of Trump at the polls.

Mr Trump reportedly told Republican senators earlier this month that he was preparing more than 100 executive orders for day one, many of which will seek to reverse the policies of outgoing President Joe Biden.

“Look, I can undo almost everything Biden did … through executive order,” Mr Trump told Time in November. “And on day one, much of that will be undone.”

Some outlets have put the figure as high as 200.

Ahead of coming into office Trump has made numerous promises that helped him clinch the presidency, including ending the war in Ukraine, giving Hamas “hell to pay” if the October 7 hostages are not released — and finally explaining what’s up with those mysterious drones.
