U.S. President Donald Trump is taking a softer approach toward podcaster Joe Rogan, despite strong criticism over the Iran war. Rogan has publicly questioned the conflict, calling it “terrifying” and a betrayal of promises to avoid new wars.Unlike his usual sharp responses to critics, Trump has praised Rogan, describing him as “a great guy” and avoiding direct attacks. Analysts say Rogan’s large, largely apolitical audience may be influencing Trump’s tone.The two recently appeared together at the White House, highlighting a growing relationship. Reports also suggest Trump supported a policy initiative backed by Rogan.Observers say the move reflects shifting political dynamics, as Trump seeks to maintain support among voters increasingly uneasy about the war.
