Former President Donald Trump spoke about how being a politician is a “very dangerous business” during an interview with Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experience.
During the interview, Rogan told Trump that “one of the beautiful things” about him is that he holds “huge events” and just talks, adding that Trump had “comedic instincts.” Trump added that in the business of politics, you need to have the “attitude of a comedian,” adding that it is a “dangerous” and “tough” business.
“One of the beautiful things about you is that you freeball,” Rogan said. “You get out and you do these huge events, and you’re just talking. We’ve highlighted you on the show many times — when you did those Biden impressions where he’s walking around and doesn’t know what he’s doing. It’s funny — it’s stand-up. It’s funny stuff. And, you were making fun of Elon one time. It’s great — you have comedic instincts, like, when you said to Hillary, ‘You’d be in jail.’ That’s great timing. But, it’s like, that kind of stuff was unheard of as a politician, like no one had done that.”
“You know it’s funny, you need at least the attitude of a comedian when you’re doing this business,” Trump said. “This is a very dangerous business. It’s a very tough business.”
“Especially you,” Rogan added. “I mean, you haven’t even got to the election, there’s been two assassination attempts. And, they’ve brushed those out of the news like it was nothing.”
