Donald Trump Jr. Desires Guys Like Joe Rogan within the White Home Briefing Room

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest of the President Trump’s dipshit youngsters, says that he desires his father to permit podcasters into the White Home briefing room after he takes energy once more on Jan. 20, 2025. Trump Jr. floated the thought on his podcast Triggered and insists that he’s really talked along with his dad about.

“We had the dialog about opening up the press room to loads of these impartial journalists,” the junior Trump stated on Tuesday’s episode.

“Like, you realize, why ought to… if the New York Instances has lied… they’ve been adversarial to every thing,” Trump rambled. “They’re functioning because the advertising and marketing arm of the Democrat Social gathering. Like why not open it as much as individuals who have bigger viewerships, stronger followings, prefer it’s not just like the New York…. how a lot cash are they dropping per 12 months…”

Junior continued to ramble on and on about mainstream media, ultimately saying “I’d like to see guys like Rogan within the White Home press briefing.” Rogan sat down along with his father for a 3-hour interview shortly earlier than Election Day, which appeared to be an actual victory for the as soon as and future president. Kamala Harris didn’t sit down with Rogan.

However would Rogan even present as much as every day White Home press briefings? Are you able to think about? Attempt to image a man like Rogan, who has a contract with Spotify for $250 million, sitting patiently within the White Home briefing room ready for some press workplace lackey to stroll about and take questions. It’s a kind of issues that even lower-level MAGA media figures like Charlie Kirk or Benny Johnson would appear unlikely to do. These guys have to be the focus, deferring that highlight solely when Trump himself is round. And Trump gained’t be at each press briefing. That’s why they exist within the first place—for the White Home to speak the administration’s message with out taking on a giant chunk of the president’s time every day.

Humorously, the title of Tuesday’s episode of Triggered refers to “regime media,” a dig at mainstream media sources like CNN, which is just humorous as a result of conservative media proper now isn’t simply partisan, it’s fairly actually a part of the incoming Trump regime. Elon Musk, the billionaire proprietor of X, was considered one of Trump’s largest donors through the presidential marketing campaign and has tilted the social media platform in favor of Trump.

Beforehand, Musk had insisted that it was necessary for social media platforms to be politically impartial. However Musk spent the complete election season sharing deceptive data and boosting far-right voices on the location all whereas explicitly endorsing Trump and even showing with him at rallies. Musk even hosted a $1 million per day giveaway in swing states, a really clear effort to purchase votes for Trump. And now Trump has Musk spearheading an effort referred to as DOGE, the Division of Authorities Effectivity, the place he’ll be making an attempt to chop $2 trillion from the federal funds.

Once more, simply take a minute to think about these extraordinarily rich guys, folks like Rogan, making an attempt to do the largely thankless job of displaying up and never being the focus in an surroundings just like the White Home briefing room. However we’ll discover out quickly sufficient whether or not Trump opens up these alternatives after Jan. 20. We’re going to search out out loads of issues after Jan. 20 it appears.
