Trump reveals to Joe Rogan the “one big mistake” he’s made during his presidency as he opens up about UFOs, murder conspiracies and the state of the 2024 election in a wild three-hour podcast.

Republican candidate Donald Trump appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast in a three-hour interview in which he showed off his assassination attempt scar, talked about UFOs and revealed the “big mistake” of his presidency.

While appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, the former president revealed that he felt like he made “bad choices” while discussing his past cabinet appointments.

He attributed the “success” of his presidency to his own judgment when choosing officials to serve in his administration.

“The only mistake … I will say it always comes back to the same answer, the biggest mistake I’ve made … I picked some people I shouldn’t have picked,” he said.

Rogan was then asked if that was referring to “neocons,” to which Trump replied, “Yes, neocons, or bad people, or disloyal people.”

The 78-year-old Republican nominee did not hold back and specifically named John Kelly, the White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, and John Bolton, his national security adviser.

Both Kelly and Bolton have become highly critical of the former president. Kelly was recently quoted as saying that Trump was a fan of Adolf Hitler and warned that he would “rule 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 former president is “the definition of a fascist” with no understanding of American history or the Constitution.

He claimed that Trump would have said that “Hitler did some good things”, praising the Nazi dictator for “rebuilding the economy” and that he wanted the level of loyalty held among German generals in World War II .

Bolton told him The daily beast that “Trump is too stupid to be a real fascist” and that the former president’s behavior “alone is disturbing enough.”

“To be a fascist, you must have philosophy. Trump is not capable of that,’ he added.

Trump likened Kelly to a “bully” on Rogan’s podcast, he said: “You read a little bit about them today, a guy like Kelly who was a bully. A bully, but a weak person… That’s bad… Bolton was an idiot.

Rogan also pressed the former president on claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, asking him: “I want to talk about 2020 because you’ve said over and over that you were robbed in 2020. How do you think you have been robbed?”

“That election was so crooked, it was the crookedest election,” Trump replied.

When asked for examples, he continues: “Well, let’s start, let’s start at the top and the easy ones.”

“They had to get legislative approval to do the things they did, and they didn’t get it in many cases, they didn’t,” he added.

Trump was then asked what things needed the legislative approval he was referring to and he replied: “Anything… Like for voting extensions, for early voting. All these different things. By law, they had to get legislative approvals.

“You don’t have to go any further than that.” If you look at Wisconsin, they basically admitted that the election was rigged, rigged and stolen.

He then goes on to explain that access to ballots in certain areas was limited because, he claimed: “the ballots were not signed. They were not original.

“We could go to the ballots or we could go to the general. I’ll give you another way, he continued.

When Rogan asks if he’ll ever “present” that evidence, Trump steers the conversation to the 51 intelligence officials who claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop came from Russia with a signed letter right before the 2020 election.

However, the friendly and quiet podcast quickly transformed again. Rogan asked if the former president was given inside information about the existence of aliens.

To which he replied: “They told me a lot.”

After Rogan pressed further, Trump said that “based on Hunter Biden, I can say whatever the hell I want.”

He goes on to say that “there is no reason” not to believe that there is life in space.

Rogan then pointed to the lack of evidence and brought up speculative claims about drones “hovering over battleships, that they are Chinese drones and that they are not UFOs.”

“They might as well,” he replied. Before the two then discussed Area 51, and Trump shared, “I have to be honest. I have never been faithful. I have people from Area 51 or whatever. I think it’s the number one tourist attraction in the whole country or something. Area 51 in Las Vegas.

The three-hour podcast, which was several hours late for Trump’s rally in Michigan, left a friendly discussion about the scar left by the July 13 assassination attempt on Thomas Mathew Cooks.

He referred to a “small mark” on his ear where he was shot. “It shook right there,” he added.

“He healed up pretty well,” Rogan replies.

“He’s not like some of the fighters, some of the UFC fighters,” Trump added. “But it makes me a tougher guy.”

In 2022, Rogan was adamant that Trump would never appear on “The Joe Rogan Experience” because he did not want to help the Republican Party campaign.

He turned down multiple offers to have Trump on the show and said, “I am not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I had the opportunity to have him on the show several times – I said no, every time…I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him.

Rogan had even referred to the former president as a “threat to democracy.”

However, after facing backlash after apparently endorsing RFK Jr over Trump, Rogan was forced to walk back his comments insisting he was not endorsing Kennedy.

The episode aired Friday night at 10:00 PM ET and the viewership numbers climbed to 300,000 in just 30 minutes.

“I’ve probably never seen anybody in history that was attacked the way you were attacked and the way they did it so coordinated and so systematically,” Rogan told Trump. “You said a lot of wild nonsense.”

Kamala Harris’ campaign negotiated with Rogan’s team about an interview on his podcast, and it was announced that she would not appear “due to the scheduling of this campaign period”.
