Joe Rogan has turned down multiple requests from Donald Trump’s camp to interview the former president on his popular Spotify podcast, according to a report.

Rogan said he is not a Trump supporter and has no desire to give the 45th president a platform — even though a large portion of the podcaster’s 11 million listeners support the Republican front-runner.

However, after the two were seen shaking hands at a recent UFC fight in Las Vegas, Trump urged his advisers to explore additional avenues for a sit-down, The Daily Beast reported.

One of Trump’s informal advisers, Roger Stone, reportedly offered to engage Rogan in a UFC-style cage match in hopes of forcing the podcaster to interview the former president, according to the news site.

Donald Trump’s only discussion on a blockbuster podcast like Joe Rogan’s is generating a remarkable audience, a Trump adviser told The Daily Beast.

Perhaps the only person who is bigger in the new media world than Joe Rogan is Donald Trump and the whole idea that the two of them will finally come together – it will be an incredible audience.

Trump recently appeared on the “Full Ship” podcast, whose YouTube page counts more than 2 million subscribers.

The “Full Send” interview with Trump generated millions of views, though its YouTube video was removed by parent company Alphabet because the former president repeated his claims that the 2020 presidential election was fixed.

Rogan, who has faced his own criticism for spouting COVID conspiracies, has said in the past that he has no desire to pander to Trump.

“I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form,” Rogan told podcaster Lex Fridman last year.

“I have had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him.”

On his own podcast last year, Rogan referred to Trump as a “man baby” while speculating that the current Republican frontrunner may be using Adderall.

However, Trump is not taking the snub to heart, according to The Daily Beast.

The president is listening to Rogan, a Trump adviser told the news site.

I don’t think the president takes Rogans criticism personally, and really, in the end, Donald Trump would rather listen to a non-politician with mild criticism than a politician who kisses his ass.

The Post sought comment from Trump and Rogan.
