UFC commentator Joe Rogan has an interesting suggestion for future US Presidential hopefuls regarding their voting demographics. Which may just be worth looking at, even though the actor is better known for his stand-up comedy — and, of course, his color commentary for UFC.

Rogan has been actively involving himself in politics of late, particularly over the past 18 months or so. He not only featured incumbent President Donald Trump — at that time a Presidential candidate — on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast last year, but the Jersey native also pretty openly backed the Republican candidate.

So much so that Rogan was criticised for not hosting Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on his platform. Furthermore, as a host of UFC events in the last two years, Rogan has often seized the opportunity to applauded Trump, both during his broadcast walk to the venue alongside UFC CEO, Dana White, as well as ringside.

So, Rogan’s politics is pretty clear. But does that qualify him as a political expert? Well, judge for yourselves.

Joe Rogan’s suggestion for political candidates

This week on his podcast, the 57-year-old had a tip for any future political candidate hoping to be elected.

He suggested they should collaborate with computer and interactive video games developer Rockstar Games to feature as a sidekick to the protagonists in GTA 6, which releases next year.

“Imagine if a candidate made a deal with GTA 6 where you could have them ride along with you,” Rogan said. “Like, (Donald) Trump can ride along with you while you rob people, shoot people. You could do it with Trump. And then all of a sudden, people want to vote for Trump because he’s my favorite homie in GTA 6.
“… Like you’re playing Half Life and Kamala Harris is helping you get around the lab,” Rogan continued. “… If you love playing with the Kamala Harris character on Half Life, it’s like you could have an AI partner. And it literally is Kamala Harris. And she runs around in Half Life with you shooting at aliens and sh*t.”

When Trump was parodied ‘ordering’ GTA 6’s release

Parodying numerous famous figures is a regular feature in the Grand Theft Auto series, although Trump is officially yet to feature in it. But this is not the first time Trump and the franchise have been linked.

Earlier this year, footage emerged on social media of Trump signing numerous executive orders just days into his second stint as the POTUS. One user on the social media platform X managed to use that to have some fun.

Given the delay of the video game until May of next year, Trump was videoed allegedly ordering Rockstar to release the much-anticipated game this year. The video was, of course, manipulated.

The user who posted it had to clarify that the edit was satirical. This was because many people had failed to recognize it as such. A massive surge in community flagging requests prompted the response.

Wonder what Joe Rogan would’ve had to say about this!
