I watched the interview with Rogan last night. Almost 3 hours long. Such a better format than standard tv broadcast shows. Trump is sharp, confident, funny, can think on his toes, clearly was a salesman, sympathetic... to name a few.
Anyone that says that he can't string sentences together that make sense is an idiot. 3 hours long. Joe changed subjects and interrupted him. Sad that that is a standard to measure him by, but his opponent is clearly not capable of handling such challenges in an interview.
I thought he did well and the interview will definitely swing some voters his way. He represented himself well. Came off better than any interview or speech I've seen him do.
Trump's lips moving and sounds coming out don't meet the standard of stringing sentences together.
Between making stuff up, his Alzheimers/dementia, and his "Weave" gibberish, Rogan vacillated between being amused, incredulous, and feeling downright sorry for the guy. He was incredibly gracious to bounce around and talk about whatever nonsense Trump's addled mind came up with next just to keep the conversation flowing.
Trump suggests that there's no reason not to think that there's life on Mars.

Joe Rogan fact checks him immediately.
Trump switches to talking about Chinese balloons.

Donald Trump: “I want to be a whale psychiatrist. It drives the whales freaking crazy if something happens with them, but they're getting washed up and yet the environmentalists they don't talk about, right?”

My mom kept telling me she "played tennis last week." I would argue with her that it had been 20 years, and that would make her so mad. Then we found out it was Alzheimer's. Here is Trump insisting he was on Oprah "last Thursday." The show ended in 2011. It's Alzheimer's. pic.twitter.com/5QSvQ5bNon

Donald Trump tells Joe Rogan that Abraham Lincoln was a “very depressed guy,” after he lost his son Tad.

There’s only one problem: Tad died 6 years after Lincoln’s death.pic.twitter.com/jarveYFHZo
Can you find any clips of him diving deep and really drilling down into policy or hell, any topic, in a way that makes sense and doesn't veer wildly off-topic after three seconds?
Also good of Rogan to push back and acknowledge that a prospective conversation he'd have with Harris would likely go just fine.
Funny to see this clip pop up where Rogan previously calls Trump a man-baby given his pathological need to have his ego stroked by his handlers.
Flashback 2022: Joe Rogan claimed Trump was on Adderall while in office and called him “man baby” after hearing how officials stroked his ego just to get him to listen to his daily briefings. pic.twitter.com/gfctNnegor

The Adderall thing may make sense and partially explain Trump's childlike impulsivity and inability to hold or communicate a linear thought.
