Just another sycophant, an opportunist looking to grab for power off the back of the truck that is US democracy.
Seems less to do with his alignment and more shitty timing and bad business practices. A win is a win, but seems less the political alignment when others aligned this way aren't failing.
Some are more equal than others. Or why Thiel stands to make more money with his giant surveillance scheme than that quack doctor.
Good news: Nazi cheerleader goes out of business
Bad news: It's because there's so many Nazi cheerleaders in 2025 that they saturated their market, and (per the article) he failed for not being Nazi enough
Remember when Britney Spears had her first breakdown and dr. Phil volunteered to help her and then he told the tabloids about it? Yeah. His current actions line up.
This is standard tier Oprah Slop. She had a conga line of hacks and grifters plugging their snake oil on her show, decade after decade. Phil McGraw is simply one of the most successful.
You’re forgetting dr oz…
I'm certainly trying.
Been hating that bastard for decades.
Dr. Phil is a really good example of the wider societal problem in the USA that created Trump. The fact that this man was allowed to have a prime-time TV show on mainstream network, instead of being universally shunned, was clear proof there was something deeply wrong with this country pre-2015.
This man's initial wealth came from running a membership scheme at a Spa; he then surrendered his license because he refuses to follow "Continuing Education" courses and follow ethics guidelines, so he could focus on his show of humiliating and mocking traumatized and mentally disabled kids; then trafficking them to plantations, on which he was involved with a reality TV show. Dr. Phil is a sick monster of a man, and by all means deserves everything horrible that happens to him; if not for being an ICE Nazi, then for abusing more kids than states' loudest pro-Trump pastors.

Oprah?
That whole era of reality tv
Oprah is like the Ronald Reagan of talk shows. She gave a platform to multiple destructive people that have continued to haunt us far after they launched on her show. Dr. Oz. Dr. Phil. Jenny McCarthy, John of God, etc.
Dr. Oz is an excellent example. A highly skilled surgeon that found it more profitable to shill rubbish to stay at home moms.
What pre-2015?
I'm talking 90's.
I was young but already shocked to see his trash show where he spouts backwards conservative morals on European TV channels.
That has nothing to do with Trump, more with what the US is.
AndI blame your fascist-lite D party just the same for the situation you are now in.
Al they did was go back half a step after 5 further to the right by R.
And this intentionally since their leaders work for the same masters.
And I blame the dumb population for letting it happen.
They get what they deserve.
All good since it hastens the already rapid decline of US imperialism and scumbaggery
Doc Phil was popular and well-liked once. He's gonna chase that feel forever, even if he has to burn the world down to find it again. What a maroon.
This is not a good guy who strayed from the path, he's always been a piece of shit
