Thoughts on the Rogan and Trump episode?

Loved this watch. This kind of access to any politician is what the digital age is all about.

Personally don't give a shit about his accessiblity.. for me, The big question remains .. "would u leave ur wife/gf/daughter with Trump" Or want him as you CEO/Boss.. funny how the most powerful job in the world has no actual standards while we are made to go through interviews and fking background checks.

How is that relevant lmao? Why do you sound like a triggered person? I’m not even being political lol.

Just saying that politicians and other people with power were one black boxes about whom you would only read in the news. Very simply put, having this level of access to a presidential candidate is phenomenal.

Would much rather see a genuine conversation than a scripted one.

I wouldn't want most people on grapevine as my co workers either. Yet here I am.

Trump talked about - • Building stuff locally and how high tax rates have driven manufacturing outside • How china is building an insane number of EVs and that they are bringing them in through Mexico to kill the local players, which is true • Talked about how his tax cuts on businesses increased the US debt because COVID fucked up the plans • SpaceX doing great and being supportive of privatisation
• Starlink and how it's effective in rural areas and cheap and cost effective compared to the cable grid and how we should move towards that • How environmental regulations are out of control and are just making bureaucrats rich and wasting Billions in resources. • That he is open to nuclear as an energy source and even pointed out that France is doing great with SMRs (small modular reactors) • Talked that wind energy is unreliable, expensive, hurt the local biodiversity and ugly looking

And that's just half of the episode. With Trump you need to ignore his narcissistic rambling about real-estate and self promotion and focus on what context he is referring to.

He doesn't remember shit about details because he is an old goat but he does understand what seems right or wrong from a business view.

And if you ignore his old racist grandpa way of talking in circles, nothing he said about tech and business was crazy.

Yeah true true. I hate how he just rambles on and on and on without answering the question.

I can see why harris rejected the invitation. She would have been completely exposed by Joe.

Absolutely wish Indian politicians were more like this. A debate between Modi and RaGa will be hilarious 😂.

I absolutely loved it 🧡 Trump's a standup comedian in all but name. Especially when he tells Joe, "you're not a Kamala person. I know you as well as your wife and I'm telling you, you're not a Kamala person. You're a Khabib person, but you're not a Kamala person." 😂😂😂. So f**king funny.

And can you imagine the Democrats or rather any politician outside the US to have the balls to talk for 3 hrs and be grilled and tested on their positions?
