It was the reaction of Joe Rogan, a self-proclaimed “Trump hater,” that became the “defining moment” of the night and encapsulated everything about Trump, his movement, and the reason why he cannot be silenced.
Despite his long-standing disdain for Trump (Rogan refuses to even entertain the idea of having him on his show), Rogan couldn’t hide his excitement when President Trump sauntered into the arena. It was like watching a kid in a candy store about to burst with giddy anticipation. In that very instant, the undeniable truth about Trump’s charisma and presence was revealed. Joe clamored to meet him, shake his hand, and bask in his aura.
