Joe Rogan Criticizes Trump's Canada Policy, Breaks Support

Podcaster Joe Rogan, who endorsed Donald Trump during the 2024 election, has publicly criticized the President's proposal to annex Canada and the imposition of tariffs as part of a trade war. Rogan expressed his disapproval on his podcast, calling the tariffs 'stupid' and the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state 'ridiculous'. This stance marks a significant departure from his previous support for Trump, especially as the U.S. and Canada exchange retaliatory tariffs. Newly appointed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has also condemned Trump's actions, calling them an attack on Canada's economy and sovereignty. Carney has called for a snap election to strengthen Canada's position in light of these tensions. Despite this rift, Rogan still aligns with some of Trump's other policies but maintains that Canada should remain a separate nation.
