A post shared on Facebook claims Joe Rogan purportedly gained three million new subscribers following his recent interview with 2024 Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump on his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Verdict: False
The claim is false and originally stems from a satirical Facebook page.
Fact Check:
A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll found a close race between Trump and 2024 Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Fox News. The same poll shows Trump at 48% and Harris at 47% among likely voters in the swing state of Wisconsin, the outlet reported.
The Facebook post claims Rogan purportedly gained three million new subscribers following a recent interview with Trump on his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“Joe Rogan has picked up 3 million new subscribers since announcing the big interview with 45, on Friday,” the post, which does not provide a source to support its claim, reads.
The claim is false and originally stems from the “America – Love It Or Leave It” Facebook page, which describes itself as “a subsidiary of the America’s Last Line of Defense [or ALLOD] network of trollery.” The page also bears a “Satire/Parody” label.
Likewise, Check Your Fact did not find the claim referenced on Rogan’s website or his verified social media accounts. Trump also has not publicly commented on the claim via his 2024 campaign website, his TRUTH Social account, or his verified social media accounts.
In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On Oct. 25, Snopes debunked the claim, indicating it originally stemmed from the satirical Facebook page. (RELATED: Did Theo Von Wager $125K On Donald Trump To Win The Election?)
While the Facebook post’s claim is false, Trump appeared on an Oct. 25 episode of Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Check Your Fact has contacted Rogan for comment.
