Adin Ross Is The Latest Podcast Bro To Regret Backing Trump: “I Wish I Never Got Into Politics”

Streamer Adin Ross is having second thoughts about his time in politics. On a recent stream, Ross reflected on his involvement with Trump during the last campaign cycle, saying he now regrets tying himself so closely to a political figure.

“Now that I look back on it, I really, really wish I never got into politics,” Ross told viewers. “So many people just tie me to it, and no matter what, they don’t even get to know who I am. I don’t think I’ll ever care enough again for any other politician. At the end of the day, we’re all humans. That stuff is just way out of pocket.”

Ross admitted that his association with Trump has followed him everywhere. From gifting Trump a Tesla to featuring him on his platform, Ross says it’s left people unwilling to see past that political chapter.

And he’s not alone in feeling the weight of regret.

• Andrew Schulz, once vocal about bringing Trump on his Flagrant podcast, recently blasted him for going back on campaign promises, accusing him of “doing the exact opposite” of what he ran on.
• Joe Rogan, who gave Trump one of his most important podcast platforms, has since complained about Trump’s handling of wars and spending, saying, “This isn’t what people thought they voted for.”
• Theo Von, who also hosted Trump, has distanced himself from how his platform was used. He even demanded the government pull down promotional material that used his likeness without permission.

Together, these podcast and streamer voices helped push Trump into mainstream online spaces, especially with young men. Now, in Trump’s second term, they’re facing backlash from fans who feel betrayed by the pivot.

The Internet Reaction

Social media hasn’t been kind to Ross’s confession. Many users see it as too little, too late:

• “He’s upset certain celebrities won’t talk to him because of his politics. He hasn’t changed.”
• “Real lives are getting ruined while he treated conservatism like a TikTok trend.”
• “You helped turn a whole generation of young men into Trumpies. You don’t get to walk away now.”

Others pointed out that Ross’s attempt to move on rings hollow. As one commenter summed it up:

“Translation: I told y’all to vote for someone who’d make your life harder. It doesn’t affect me, so I’d like to move on now.”

Ross insists he won’t touch politics again, but the internet has a long memory. For him — and other podcast bros like Rogan, Schulz, and Von — the regret may be real, but the stain of boosting Trump’s brand in the digital age is permanent.
