Joe Rogan reacts to Donald Trump's NFT popularity: 'They just love him like he's the Dallas Cowboys'

Joe Rogan discussed Donald Trump's high-profile NFTs that sold out within 12 hours of signing up.

What happened: Rogan joked about the video Trump posted to promote his NFT collection, when he spoke with Brian Redban on the "Joe Rogan Experience".

After realizing the collection was sold out, Rogan expressed his sadness saying, "Bro, how crazy is he? This is so ridiculous and it felt like a big announcement. He's burnt out...It makes me so sad. These Trumpers, man, they just love him like he's the Dallas Cowboys. Like they're just loyal to the team, it's like us against them."

Rogan said Trump was "leaning in" and adopting a professional wrestling persona in an attempt to get more attention. He was referring to Trump's 2007 appearance at WWE WrestleMania 23 and his subsequent induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Rogan added that it's only a matter of time before Trump returns to the political ring unless he's put in jail first.

"It's going to happen. Unless they put him in jail, it's going to happen," Rogan said.
