And for general shit about the worst-behaved presidents, I recommend Very Presidential with Ashley Flowers. It’s a short series of 15 episodes but gives a good idea of all the shit that happened in the White House.
When we talk about “presidential conduct,” we usually mean dignity and leadership. We don’t usually talk about the all-night ragers, blackmail schemes, and drug-induced decisions made in very important meetings! But maybe we should talk about all of that.[…] It’s a lot wilder than anything you learned in history class, and the scariest part is, it’s all true.
BTW. Before Clinton, from Eisenhower to Bush Sr. The presidents were all WW2 veterans to some degree. Eisenhower was a general, Kennedy was a PT Boat skipper, and Reagan was in a non-combat role primarily acting in training films. Bush Sr. Was a naval aviator.
For some reason or another, most of them were Navy guys.
For anyone looking for more history around this, the economist have a podcast series called Boom!
