Trump Hits Back at Joe Rogan After Assassination Attempt Joke
Joe Rogan’s Controversial Joke During BRAVE CF 84
Joe Rogan has sparked outrage from Donald Trump following a controversial joke during the BRAVE CF 84 event in Zhengzhou, China. Rogan made light of the attempted assassination of Trump that took place in July 2024, where the former president narrowly escaped with a graze to his ear after shots were fired during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Comparing the event to the uneventful fight between Weiqiang Yan and Mohamed Alsameea, Rogan quipped, “More accurate than a sniper at a Trump rally, causing real, real problems for Alsameea.” This comment immediately drew backlash, especially from Trump himself.
Trump’s Response on Social Media
Donald Trump, who has been a frequent topic of Rogan’s discussions, didn’t take the joke lightly. Just days earlier, Rogan had mentioned on his podcast that he wouldn’t vote for Trump in the upcoming election, instead showing support for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Following the joke, Trump swiftly responded on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters a UFC ring??? MAGA2024.”
The Aftermath and Public Reaction
This is not the first time Rogan has been in hot water over his comments. Earlier, he had expressed disbelief over the circumstances of the assassination attempt, suggesting during his podcast that the situation was so bizarre it seemed like something out of a movie, or even a simulation. These remarks have only fueled conspiracy theories circulating online, further polarizing public opinion.
Rogan’s comments have drawn criticism from Trump supporters, and it remains to be seen how this will affect his relationship with the UFC community and his vast audience.
