TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Many of Donald Trump’s supporters left a Michigan rally before he arrived Friday night after the former president kept them waiting for three hours to tape a popular podcast interview. Those who remained at the outdoor rally huddled in the cold as they waited for the former president to touch down in the battleground state. Trump apologized for the delay, which he blamed on an interview with Joe Rogan, an influential voice with younger male voters Trump is aggressively courting. The interview, taped in Austin, Texas, ran a whopping three hours, with Trump telling many familiar stories from his rallies and other interviews but also engaging with Rogan on topics like the existence of UFOs.
