Why Oz Is the Doctor Trump Ordered
Nothing about Trump 2.0 is mere bluster.
John Hendrickson
John reports at the intersection of politics and culture. His 2019 Atlantic feature "What Joe Biden Can’t Bring Himself to Say" was named one of the best stories of the year by Longform and served as the basis for Life on Delay, a reported memoir about his lifelong struggle to speak. Life on Delay was named one of the best books of 2023 by The New Yorker, one of the best audiobooks of the year by Audible, and was a USA Today book club selection. Before joining The Atlantic, he wrote and edited for Rolling Stone, Esquire, and The Denver Post.
