Trump Talks Idaho Potatoes, Water in Massive Joe Rogan Interview
As we near 'Peak Political Season' across Idaho and beyond, the talk of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has never been higher.
With over 38 Million views on YouTube and even more on various podcasting platforms and X (the app formerly known as Twitter), Donald Trump has made quite the splash with his 3-hour conversation with Joe Rogan.
Believe it or not--Idaho came up.
Just weeks ago, during the Republican National Convention, after becoming the party's official nominee, Donald Trump was on stage and gave Idaho a peculiar kind of 'shoutout'...

Potatoes! Trump exclaimed.
Yet again, it was potatoes that brought Trump's mind to Idaho. This time, on the Joe Rogan Experience--a popular podcast that has arguably one of the largest audiences and followings, anywhere.
The highly anticipated episode dropped over the weekend.
For years, fans of the Joe Rogan Experience have asked why Trump hasn't been on the show--and Rogan, who at one point endorsed Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders for President of the United States, said that eventually, if the time was right, he would be on.
In other venues, Trump questioned a Rogan appearance, saying that he has heard he is 'a liberal'.
The two finally ironed out plans and the episode went up--quickly.
The topic of water is what got Donald Trump going on Idaho in the blockbuster episode.
Trump explained that while President, he took a trip to visit California, claiming that he noticed some areas were very dry. According to Trump, California government officials told him that the water isn't allowed to 'trickle down' from the North.
Trump further explains that 'in order to protect a tiny little fish' water is routed into the Pacific Ocean instead of California.
He then goes on to say that we have water in Idaho--where the land is fertile and perfect for growing...you guessed it: potatoes!
Then, Trump explains that there is, allegedly, a valve 'that is massive, like a sink' that he can turn on to send water from Idaho and Washington down to California.
Your thoughts on sharing our water with California?
The Idaho Capital Sun recently wrote an article explaining the 'faucet', which Trump has referenced other places as well.
