Joe Rogan's estranged sister reveals what his family really thinks of his support for Donald Trump

Joe Rogan's estranged sister reveals what his family really thinks of his support for Donald Trump.

Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States in what turned out to be a stunning political resurrection that sent shockwaves through America and around the world.

It was a controversial election as Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes.

But the 78-year-old managed to beat Democrat Kamala Harris as voters sent the Republican politician back to the White House for a second term, following his first stint between 2017 and 2021.

He gained key votes and changed plenty of US voters' perception following his appearances on podcasts popular with younger men over traditional media outlets, including The Joe Rogan Experience, where he filmed a three-hour long show, with Harris unable to meet Rogan's demands to appear in an episode.

Rogan's sit-down with Trump was viewed over 45 million times on YouTube alone and would have attracted a similarly massive audience on Spotify.

Almost 80 per cent of his audience are men between the ages of 18 and 34, according to the firm Edison Research.

One of Trump's supporters is Rogan's own half-sister, who has never met her famous relative.

Despite not seeing eye-to-eye over the UFC commentator's claims that their father is a 'f**king psychopath' who used to 'beat guys up' in bars, she insists she felt 'proud' when Rogan interviewed Trump during a wide-ranging that helped propel him back into power.

"It was absolutely an influential moment of the campaign when Joe interviewed Donald Trump before the election," the MAGA supporter told The Daily Mail.

"Our family fully supports President Trump and his agenda and what made it so influential is it was something that was never done before.

"Joe has the ability to shape people's thoughts, feelings and attitudes through his podcast, so bringing President Trump on was huge. Our family was happy the podcast was so successful for the Trump campaign."
