Joe Rogan Jokes Biden Secretly Backed Trump: "Never Seen Him So Happy"
By FOX News Staff | Published: November 15, 2024
Podcaster Joe Rogan stirred the pot this week by suggesting that President Joe Biden might secretly have been thrilled about President-elect Donald Trump's victory, joking that Biden even voted for Trump. Rogan pointed to Biden’s wide grin during their White House meeting on Wednesday as evidence, sparking both laughter and controversy.
Biden's Smiling Meeting with Trump Sparks Speculation
President Biden's cheerful demeanor during his meeting with Trump at the White House caught many off guard. Photos showed the outgoing president smiling broadly alongside Trump, leading Rogan to jest that Biden was happier about the election results than anyone else.
“Do you know what one of my favorite things about this whole election cycle has been?” Rogan quipped on The Joe Rogan Experience. “Yesterday, when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House. Biden voted for Trump. I f---ing guarantee it. I never saw that dude so happy in his f---ing life. He lost. His party lost. He was happy.”
Rogan Compares Biden's Reaction to Obama’s in 2016
Rogan contrasted Biden’s upbeat appearance with the tension in 2016, when then-President Barack Obama met Trump after his first election win. “Obama looked exasperated back then,” Rogan noted. “But look at Biden—his smile says it all. That’s like when your kid gets married or something.”

A widely shared photo of Biden smiling with Trump during the meeting provided more fodder for Rogan’s commentary. Laughing, Rogan exclaimed, “Look at his f---ing smile, man! That’s the happiest I’ve ever seen him.”
Harris’ Defeat the Real Source of Joy?
Rogan also joked that Biden’s elation might have less to do with Trump’s victory and more with Vice President Kamala Harris losing her bid for the presidency. Rogan recalled past moments on the campaign trail when Biden appeared less-than-enthusiastic about Harris, including a viral moment when he placed a Trump hat on his head as a joke.
"I guarantee you that mother----er was happy Harris lost," Rogan said. "He probably said, ‘Welcome back’ to Trump like he was greeting an old friend.”
Shifting Rhetoric on Trump
Biden’s apparent joy stands in stark contrast to his pre-election rhetoric. During the campaign, he had repeatedly referred to Trump as a "threat to democracy" and warned voters that "our democracy is at stake" if Trump won.
Rogan found the shift amusing. “I thought Trump was ‘Hitler,’” he said, referencing Biden’s past statements. “I thought he was ‘dangerous!’ Now he’s smiling like they’re at a wedding.”
"Wilder Than a Movie"
Rogan summed up his take on the election cycle with characteristic hyperbole. “This whole thing is so nuts, man. Everything that happened during this election is wilder than anything you’ve ever seen in a f---ing movie.”
Biden’s Graceful Farewell
Following the meeting, Trump called Biden “very gracious” and thanked him for the warm reception at the White House. The image of the two leaders smiling and chatting in the Oval Office has fueled debates about Biden’s true feelings regarding the election outcome.
As the transition unfolds, the photo of Biden’s big grin beside Trump will likely remain a symbol of the unexpected twists of this unprecedented election cycle.
