“That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri,” added the musician. “This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate.”
Trump’s appearance at UFC 290 came shortly after he held a volunteer event for his primary campaign in Nevada.
OnThe Joe Rogan Experiencepodcast, Rogan, 55, has previously labeled himself a “bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of s—” and said he’s “so far away from being a Republican.”

None of the other three celebrities seen interacting with Trump have explicitly associated themselves with a political party.
