Even Joe Rogan is incapable of considering Donald Trump as a legitimate candidate.
The former president, 78, claimed that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him during the Friday, October 25, episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast. The host, 57, chuckled at the former president.
In response to Rogan's subsequent question for details, Trump said, “I won by like. I lost by like…I didn’t lose.”
The media celebrity was then shown on the video laughing at the politician.
“They say I lost, Joe, they say I lost by 22,000 votes,” Trump was adamant. “That’s like one one-tenth of one percent, it’s less than that. It’s a tiny little thing. Twenty-two thousand votes that are spread all over this period.”
“Fifty-one intelligent agents lied, they lied, they knew it was Hunter’s, it was from his bed. They said it was created by Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia. It was the Russia hoax,” the convicted felon mumbled.
Rogan subsequently asked the father-of-five, who served in the office from 2017 to 2021, about the election's "crookedness."
“Let’s start at the top and the easy ones. They were supposed to get legislative approval to do the things they did, and they didn’t get it in many cases, they didn’t get it,” Trump asserted.
Rogan continued to inquire about the "things" that were amiss; however, the former reality TV star could only respond with "anything."
“Like for extensions of the voting, for voting earlier. All these different things by law, they had to get legislative approvals. You don’t have to go any further than that,” Trump responded.
“If you take a look at Wisconsin, they virtually admitted that the election was rigged, robbed, and stolen,” he purported. “They wouldn’t give access in certain areas to the ballots because the ballots weren’t signed. They weren’t originals. They were — we could go into this stuff. We could go into the ballots, or we could go into the overall. I’ll give you another way.”
Rogan inquired whether Trump would provide evidence to support his assertions, to which Trump responded, "Uh."
In other sections of the interview, he evaded and rambled when asked about his previous presidency, UFOs, and even engaged in a peculiar diatribe about Abraham Lincoln.
When asked about his experience of becoming president, Trump responded, "Well, first of all, it was very surreal. It was very interesting,” but his response then took an unusual turn.
"When I got shot, it wasn't surreal. That should have been surreal. When I was lying on the ground, I knew exactly what was going on,” he stated about his near-fatal assassination in July of last year. “I knew exactly where I was hit. They said, 'You were hit all over the place because there was so much blood from the ear.'"
He later unusually mentioned UFOs.
"I have to be honest. I have never been a believer. I have people that talk about Area 51 or whatever it is. I think it's the number one tourist attraction in the whole country or something. Area 51 in Las Vegas," he declared.
In another interview segment, Donald Trump also referenced Civil War leaders Lincoln and Robert E. Lee.
“Lincoln had a, I don't know. I've never read this, I heard it from people in the White House who really understand what was going on with the whole life of the White House,” he disclosed. “But Lincoln had the yips about, in a way, as the golfers would say, he had a phobia about [Confederate General] Robert E. Lee. Said, ‘I can't beat Robert’ because Robert E. Lee won many battles in a row.”
Meanwhile, Trump is holding a rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, the first day of the final week of the presidential election campaign. He is counting on his own theatrics to fill the legendary stadium and produce a spectacle that will hit television and phone screens in all seven critical states.
It is a deep blue turf that nearly no Republicans hope to win but where signals of discontent and state and local Democratic leadership issues could help endangered GOP incumbents keep House seats in the surrounding suburbs. The former president is returning to his hometown of New York City, a deep blue turf.
It is the most recent in a series of visits that President Trump has made to blue states. Other examples include a rally in the Coachella Valley of California earlier this month, a rally on Long Island during the summer, and a recent swing in Chicago for an economic roundtable.
At every visit, Trump is using demeaning language to accuse that his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, is to blame for the rise in the number of migrants and the increase in criminal activity.
