Joe Rogan Paints A Picture Of Trump: In Between Golf Swings, He's On The Phone With Other Presidents: 'We're Going To Need More Money!'

It seems that Joe Rogan isn’t buying the idea that there’s some hidden genius behind President Donald Trump’s actions, especially not when it comes to the economy. On a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan and comedian Ron White took turns joking about what they see as a chaotic and surreal moment in American leadership.

“It’s so baffling. It’s so crazy. Like, what is going on? The whole world is mad at us,” said Rogan.

Mocking the Commander-in-Chief

“Trump’s playing golf, and in between swings, he’s on the phone with presidents of countries. ‘We’re going to need more money!'” Rogan said, mocking the casual tone Trump takes with serious matters. White jumped in, saying, “Yeah, that’s what somebody told me the other day. Is he playing checkers? Is he playing chess?” Then he answered his own question: “He’s playing golf!”

Rogan laughed and followed up with a jab: “He’s playing golf. Like, what does that mean? Everybody wants to think there’s some, like, grand plan to it.” He started to explain, “Well, they think the grand plan is…” before veering off to talk about Ross Perot and the 1992 presidential elections. 

Rogan has hosted political guests from all sides during the years and, despite mocking and criticizing Trump over the years, has endorsed him in the 2024 presidential elections.

Golf and the Tariff Fallout

Their exchange painted a picture of a president who appears more focused on his personal leisure than the serious economic signals flashing red. The timing of their comments aligned with Trump’s latest round of tariffs, announced just days earlier, that rocked the markets and raised fears of a potential recession. Experts say the tariffs are likely to drive up prices for American consumers and strain global trade relationships even further.

While the markets reacted negatively, Trump spent the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate and nearby golf club. He also took to Truth Social with a now-viral post declaring, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH,” despite financial uncertainty rippling through retirement accounts and investment portfolios.

Lawmakers Push Back

The president’s tone didn't sit well with many lawmakers. Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) criticized Trump's actions, saying, “While the American people are trying to put food on the table, I see that Donald Trump's out there playing golf. The president should be listening to people across the country. Maybe he should go into a grocery store, do some walking, talking to folks.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) echoed that frustration during a recent House subcommittee hearing on government efficiency. She pointed out that Trump’s golf trips have cost taxpayers roughly $26 million this year. “The last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that,” she said. “Maybe we need to talk about the president and his golfing habits… He has decided that he wanted to play games while the rest of us are really trying to make sure that we can serve the American people.”
