Donald Trump will be America’s 47th President.
The question all Americans want answered is what comes next.
And Donald Trump just got one piece of advice that stopped him dead in his tracks.
Joe Rogan offers his suggestion of how Trump should govern
Podcaster Joe Rogan set off a political earthquake by endorsing Donald Trump the night before the 2024 election.
“[Elon Musk]makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way,” Rogan posted on X. “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”
Rogan’s endorsement – as well as his interview with Trump which racked up 45,000,000 views on YouTube – represented a seismic shift in media power and influence away from legacy outlets and toward platforms like podcasting.
On the episode of his show following the election, Rogan offered his advice on how Trump should act in his second term.
Rogan proffered that Trump should take the high road and bring about unity through successfully implementing his agenda while the Left whined on the sidelines.
“He’s got to unite people. He’s got to not attack the Left, not attack everybody, let them all talk their s***, but unite. Now it’s time to unite everybody,” Rogan stated.
Trump took a step in that direction with a conciliatory victory speech as well as accepting Joe Biden’s offer to meet at the White House.
A changing media landscape
Rogan also marveled at how little influence the liberal media holds in today’s America.
Trump won – Rogan explained – with the entire media apparatus aligned against him and lying about him 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
“The media gaslit us to the absolute limits of their ability, their absolute limits,” Rogan declared.
Rogan singled out MSNBC host Joy Reid as a particularly egregious offender.
“Joy Reid spent the entire time she was discussing Trump to comparing him to Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, talking about a right wing authoritarian regime as if he had never been President for four years and didn’t behave like any of those things,” Rogan added.
Trump won because the media marginalized itself to only talk to the portion of America that hates Trump.
Polls show record low levels of trust in the press.
And one high ranking TV executive told New York Magazine that Trump winning the election would prove the media is utterly powerless since the majority of Americans no longer consume their content and elected Trump in spite of a coordinated media propaganda campaign.
“It’s going to change everything,” the executive said of a Trump victory.
According to the executive, Trump’s re-election heralded the death of the media.
“If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form,” the executive added.
The true powers in the media are now podcasters like Rogan who can reach tens of millions of voters.
Rogan is now an open supporter of Donald Trump.
Will Trump take Rogan’s advice?
