The White House Drug Dealer Under Donald Trump with Noah Shachtman

Episode 235,   Mar 20, 09:00 AM

The conversation with Noah Shachtman covers the misuse of prescription medications in the White House, particularly during the Trump administration. The White House Medical Office was found to have sloppy handling of prescription medications, including the use of military-grade stimulants like modafinil to keep up with the pace of dealing with Donald Trump. The White House doctor, Ronnie Jackson, was known for his eccentric behavior and abuse of power. The conversation also touches on the difference between being a writer and an editor in journalism, the future of magazines in the digital age, and the media's coverage of Biden and Trump.
