Trump appears on Logan Paul’s podcast in a bid for young voters
Donald Trump, the former president urged young voters like Logan Paul’s followers to vote for him over President Joe Biden.
Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected campaign stop Thursday, appearing on controversial YouTuber and professional wrestler Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast.
During the episode, which contained a roughly 45-minute interview, Trump urged young voters like Paul’s followers to vote for him over President Joe Biden, who he said had a “less than 1% chance” of joining Paul’s podcast. Paul has extended an invitation to Biden to come on the show, too.
The “Impaulsive” interview tracks with Trump’s continued push into social media as the November election nears. As some young voters have begun to question their allegiances to Biden, Trump has started to appear on popular podcasts and other new media venues. In the past several years, Trump has made appearances with conservative podcaster Tim Pool and YouTubers the Nelk Boys. He joined TikTok at the beginning of the month and his second post was with Paul, filmed shortly after their podcast wrapped.
Paul has been one of the most successful and profitable YouTubers since 2013. He has more than 23 million subscribers and his podcast episodes frequently surpass 1 million views. Recent “Impaulsive” guests include comedian Kevin Hart, football player Patrick Mahomes and former wrestler John Cena.
Paul asked Trump a number of questions about pop culture, including whether he has knowledge of aliens’ existence (Trump said it’s “very possible”) and if he thinks his younger brother Jake Paul will beat Mike Tyson in an upcoming fight (Trump said Tyson’s age could affect his chances).
