what did you think 🤔

I think that it was a good thing overall as a whole that this type of chill conversation format interview happened with a presidential candidate.
I think it humanized Trump a bit and it showed quite the contrast of what his rally speeches format is (I have only very little exposure to judge by. The longest I heard was the one at the BTC conference and thought it was offensively dumbed down). I think this may help rebalance what feels like quite extreme and unbalanced reporting on him for close to a decade now by corporate legacy media channels. It was cool that Rogan addressed that. I enjoyed his story of taking a spontaneous trip, landing in pitch darkness in Afghanistan story and mobilizing the mission there.
I did feel into the contrast of what I felt was a natural deeper sense of empathy for humanity and earth in some of the questions or points that Rogan was making vs. a somewhat underdeveloped sense of empathy in Trump. He definitely is a strategic business minded person and I feel it could be of service to where America find herself to have a president with those qualities. Though, it certainly would be much better to have the empathy piece with that in there as well but it's a tall order to expect that from a 78 year old man (yet his alliance with RFK Jr feels optimistic to me). It's purely on intuition but between the two choices I somehow feel that we'd be taking the higher timeline forward if Trump won. I have really not spend much time at all pluging into Harris but in the short few clips I've seen I couldn't help but exclaim to myself "She looks like she's a regular consumer of xanex". I did like that big pharma and TV commercials was brought up in the interview with Trump. I think it would be a giant service to the overly medicated US to be in conversation about some of these very real dark shadows enveloping society. And on the Kamala point again I think my perception may be tainted by the fact that I am so turned off my the corporate media and their blatant offensive approach and manipulative tactics that I can't ignore the fact that it feels like Kamala is certainly the choice that the establishment is pushing and I've got a pretty passionate anti establishment spirit. 🤷🏻♀️
