The habit gets a new name.
Joe Rogan’s sudden change of heart on Trump is a great example of how quickly alliances can shift in the world of politics and celebrity endorsements. Rogan’s appearance at the White House was a surprise to many, given his previous criticism of Trump’s policies. But when it comes to the issue of psychedelic research, it seems that Rogan is willing to put aside his differences with the President.
