Republican candidate Donald Trump appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast in a three-hour long interview where he showed off his attempted assassination scar, talked UFOs and revealed the ‘one big mistake’ during his presidency.
While appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, the former president revealed he felt he had made ‘bad choices’ whilst discussing previous appointments to his cabinet.
He attributed the ‘success’ of his presidency to his own decision-making when choosing officials to serve in his administration.
‘The one mistake… I will say it always comes back to the same answer, the biggest mistake I made… I picked some people that I shouldn’t have picked,’ he said.
Rogan then responded by questioning whether or not that was in reference to ‘neocons’, to which Trump responded: ‘Yeah, neocons, or bad people, or disloyal people.’
The long-anticipated podcast between Joe Rogan and Donald Trump aired earlier tonight garnering viewing figures that soared to 300,000 in just 30 minutes.
The 78-year-old Republican candidate didn’t hold back, and specifically named John Kelly, his longest-serving White house chief of staff, and John Bolton, his national security adviser.
Both Kelly and Bolton have become highly critical of the former president. Kelly only recently was quoted standing by claims that Trump was a fan of Adolf Hitler and warned he would ‘govern like a dictator if allowed’.
Kelly served on Trump’s staff from 2017 to 2019 and revealed to the New York Times his claims that the ex-president is the ‘definition of fascist’ with no understanding of American history or the Constitution.
He claimed that Trump had allegedly said ‘Hitler did some good things’, praising the Nazi dictator for having ‘rebuilt the economy’, and that he had wanted the level of loyalty held among German generals in World War II.
Bolton told the Daily Beast that ‘Trump is too stupid to be a true fascist’ and that the ex-president’s behavior ‘alone is troubling enough’.
‘To be a fascist, you have to have philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that,’ he added.
Trump likened Kelly to a ‘bully’ on Rogan’s podcast, he said: ‘You’re reading about them a little bit today, a guy like Kelly, who was a bully. A bully but a weak person… He’s bad, and Bolton was an idiot.’
