Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke to Rep. Tim Burchett on Thursday about the multiple attempts on President Donald Trump’s life, arguing that the media’s "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is partially to blame.
While the recent purported attempt on Trump’s life at the WHCA dinner was shocking in its own right, it is now the latest of a series of attempts going back to the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024. Much like how some commentators are claiming the WHCA incident was done in order to push for Trump’s vision of a White House ballroom, some skeptics are still questioning the first assassination attempt.
"There's a lot of people running around out there saying that that first Trump assassination was a setup, and that it was a hoax, and that Trump did it to try to get people to be more sympathetic to him," Rogan said as he spoke to Burchett. "Anybody who says that doesn't know anything about guns."
