Dr. Phil McGraw's attempt to transition from daytime television personality to a politically aligned media mogul during Donald Trump's second presidential term has been marked by spectacular failure and financial turmoil, according to a new report.

Since the start of Trump's presidency, ex-psychologist and famed TV doctor McGraw positioned himself as an active participant in the administration. He became a firsthand witness to ICE raids, a critic of protests, and an ever-present volunteer for the executive branch — attending events like RFK Jr.'s swearing-in and appearing with Trump after the Texas flooding.

Dozens of employees have been laid off as it averaged just 27,000 weekly viewers, broadcasting partnerships floundered and, in July, it filed for bankruptcy.

what kind of loser does this at age 75 and doesnt retire with all their money?

Giuliani.

That fucking idiot could have lived the rest of his life as America's Mayor. Instead he decided to be a fucking joke.

Narcissism gives a person an insatiable appetite for attention. Giuliani couldn't gracefully fade into obscurity any more than he could sprout wings and fly away.

The most dangerous place in New York is between Rudy and a microphone

Narcissism.

That is the cause of most of world's troubles.

Well, that and general psychological insecurity.

I'm telling you lead poison is a huge factor in these boomers going fully insane.

If only lead poisoning was more deadly in adults. Problem would have solved itself decades ago.

I really hate that all these horrible people refuse to retire with all of the money they’ve cheated out of people over the years. Social workers retire. Teachers retire. Firemen retire. But apparently making sure as many people die as possible is so much fun it gives these ghouls the energy they need to keep going.
