Joe Rogan’s video clip with Trump that has resurfaced was shot weeks before the election. In the clip Trump can be seen speaking about ‘a massive wildfire breaking out in the LA region.’ Trump even addressed the California water management issues and the impact it would have on the state’s wildfire crisis.
The clip has been going viral, as almost six massive wildfires have prompted in LA and forced mass evacuation of thousands. Authorities have reported that at least five people have died, but the number is likely to increase.
Sharing the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, a user wrote, “Six months ago, Joe Rogan recounted being told by a firefighter that LA could burn down under the worst conditions.” “Donald Trump was mocked for sounding the alarm on the California water/fire crisis during his interview with Joe Rogan. Turns out, he was right. Trump spent nearly 7 minutes ranting about the issue, blasting Newsom for doing nothing to fix the problem,” added another user.
