Trump wants to get Joe Rogan back on his side after he alienated him with his Iran antics. Joe Rogan is one of the biggest conservative megaphones in the nation and he can’t afford to have him be talking shit about MAGA before the midterms, so he’ll throw him a bone about this one issue that he doesn’t give a fuck about anyway.
Joe Rogan is doing this to be able to hopefully one day self-administer psychedelics, not get meaningful treatment or aid from a professional to guide him through the process and change himself for the better.
I’m not sure which of these two are being more selfish at this point.
