In a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” podcast host Joe Rogan criticized President Trump for a plaque installed at the White House, which he described as “so crazy.” Rogan expressed concern about the precedent it sets, arguing that it was inappropriate for the sitting president to write such descriptions.

During a conversation with comedian Shane Gillis, Rogan expressed disbelief over the situation, stating, “This is so crazy. You shouldn’t be allowed to do this. Right?” He emphasized that the creation of presidential plaques along the “Presidential Walk of Fame,” an addition by Trump, should be left to historians and not influenced by the current president.

Rogan highlighted the plaque for former President Biden, which included the nickname “Sleepy Joe Biden,” a term often used by Trump. Rogan humorously pointed out, “‘Nicknamed both “Sleepy” and “Crooked,”’ – by you! Nicknamed?” He joked about the absurdity of such nicknames being officially documented, as if decided by public consensus.

Reiterating his concerns, Rogan warned that such practices could lead to the White House losing its dignity and becoming more like a personal domain. He urged that someone should advise against this behavior, cautioning that it could lead to future presidents labeling their predecessors disparagingly, turning the institution into a platform for personal vendettas.

Rogan repeated that the descriptions were “crazy” and said someone “needs to tell him like, ‘Hey, this is not good. You can’t do that, because other people could do that too and then the White House stops being the White House,’ and it becomes whoever is in its house, where he could just go crazy and say everybody else is a crook.”

Gillis said Trump was “not beating back the dictator charges” with the language used in the plaques, but he said future presidents were not likely to follow suit.

“God, I hope not,” Rogan replied.

Gillis suggested that California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a possible contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination for president, would not do the same thing.

“Of course he would,” Rogan replied. “He copies everything that Trump does. He even tries to talk like Trump on Twitter. You don’t think that he would put up plaques that talk about how corrupt Trump was and about how terrible — ‘He was quoted as lying over 5,000 times by The Washington Post,’ you know.”

The plaques were spotted under photos of the former presidents that Trump added along the West Wing Colonnade last week. Several of the plaques, including Biden’s, mock the leader in question, while others insert references to Trump.

Biden’s plaque, seen below an image of an autopen, refers to the 46th president as “the worst president in American history.” Former President Obama’s plaque similarly called him “one of the most divisive political figures in American history.”

The plaque for former President Clinton refers to Trump’s 2016 victory over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was first lady from 1993 to 2001. The plaque for former President Reagan says that the 40th president was “a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump’s Historic run for the White House.”
