Accusations and Context

Rogan warned that if leaders are "that psychotic" they might justify extreme measures to stay in power, and said many feel "betrayed" because Trump campaigned on avoiding wars. He also suggested the conflict might reflect other nations' interests, mentioning Israel as a possible influence; he did not explicitly cite Jeffrey Epstein despite wider criticism about handling related files.

White House Pushback

Rogan, who once endorsed Trump, later floated that the president could have been "tricked" into the war. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called that claim an "absolutely false assertion," saying Mr. Trump seeks full opinions from advisors.
