Is Trump Losing Joe Rogan?

“In February 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson famously lost Walter Cronkite when the renowned news anchor told Americans he could no longer accept the president’s assurances about the war in Vietnam,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“This week, President Trump may have lost Joe Rogan for the prosecution of his own war—this one on immigration.”

“Outwardly, at least, the ‘most trusted man in America’ may bear little resemblance to Rogan, the world’s most popular podcaster. One is scarcely imaginable without a coat and tie, the other tends toward muscle t-shirts and hoodies.”

“But in one regard, they overlap: As Cronkite was in his time, Rogan is now an essential barometer of national sentiment in a fractured and suspicious age.”
