Joe Rogan, a podcaster and influential podcaster, has been critical of President Donald Trump's ability to cobble together a winning coalition in 2020. Since mid-2025, Rogan has broken with Trump on several major issues, including the war with Iran, the Jeffrey Epstein files and immigration enforcement. He has also criticized the administration's handling of the Epstein files as a betrayal of Trump's supporters, suggesting their belief that Trump would make Epstein materials public if he won the election was a part of their backing. Rogan had previously endorsed Trump on the eve of the election and criticized his plans to target Venezuela. He also expressed skepticism about the FBI's claim that there is no evidence that Epstein had clients, calling it "the gaslightiest gaslighting sh*t I've ever heard in my life".
