Former White House physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, who relied [1] on alcohol and sleeping pills while serving in the Trump administration, is now claiming that President Joe Biden would need a batch of prescription stimulant drugs in order for him to stay alert during the upcoming presidential debate. At least that’s what he told Donald Trump Jr. on his Triggered podcast.
“Some of those are drugs that are engineered to try and help with your cognition,” he explained. “Some of them are just to try and make you more awake. The amphetamine-type drugs like Adderall and things of that nature.”
“And then there’s things like Provigil that increase your alertness,” he added. “So, I think they’re probably trying to find just the right mix of stuff that can wake him up and make him a little bit more alert and with it.”
Gee, aren’t these the same drugs former President Donald Trump is rumored to have taken? Hmmm.
This wasn’t lost on Meidas Touch Editor-in-Chief Ron Filipkowski, who hopped on X to ream Jackson for name-dropping the drugs he is purported to have “dispensed in huge quantities” during his time in the White House. He allegedly doled out stimulants so often that he earned the nickname “the candy man,” OK! [2] reports.
Let’s admit it, there have been plenty of times when Adderall and Donald Trump’s name have been mentioned in the same sentence. But you know, since Jackson himself seems to have had problems, maybe he’s forgotten.
And I can’t help but remember that Trump couldn’t even get the aforementioned doctor’s name straight at a speaking engagement on Saturday, June 15.
“I took a cognitive test, and I aced it. Doc Ronny — Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas?” he said during his speech. “He was the White House doctor and he told me I was the healthiest president he feels in history. So I liked him very much.”
So Jackson can suggest whatever he wants but his former boss continues to misfire mentally, and sure Biden does occasionally but he’s not anywhere near Trump in that department.
After Trump called him “Ronny Johnson,” Jackson went on Junior’s podcast to say that Biden will be on Adderall & Provigil during the upcoming debate, which happen to be the same drugs he dispensed in huge quantities while serving the Trump WH. Story. https://t.co/i82W3B9Wr6 [3]

You can bet that X users had plenty of responses to Filipkowski’s post.
“MAGA already lining up the excuses for [Donald] Trump‘s poor debate performance…As expected,” one person noted, and another chimed in, “Now we know what the Candy Man prescribes to Trump.”
“Welcome to Magaland! Where every accusation is a confession,” a third penned. A fourth noted, “The accusations, confessions and projections are so transparent at this point it’s laughable.”
And yes, there were more. Of course there’s more!
How long before Ronny Jackson quietly changes his name to Ronny Johnson? Hair Gropenfuehrer cannot be wrong!

This is Maga proactive attempt to normalize Trump being heavily medicated in the debate. If Biden does it, Trump is okay with doing it. It's a false equivalency.

And remember, Jackson prescribed these drugs like mad during Trump’s administration, and we don’t know to who, but many suspect to Trump:
Ronny Jackson, or as Trump calls him Ronny Johnson is under investigation for passing out schedule 2 drugs like candy while working as the White House Physician under Trump. One of them was Provigil (modafinil). As always the MAGA project what they do on others. pic.twitter.com/WDHpJ6iuG0 [9]
