If only it were real.
FRO Oprah for making this grifter famous
With any luck, the next thing we see from this grifter will be his obituary.
And tonight… tonight the leopards shall feast on the egg headed carrion.
I honestly wish they would start with the feet as to not hit any major arteries too soon. I feel bad for the employees, but doctor phil himself can go through all the pain, and I will watch it with a smile.
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.
Hahahahaha!
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.
Oprah is Joe Rogan for people who are embarrassed to admit they listen to Joe Rogan.
Dr. Oz is an excellent example. A highly skilled surgeon that found it more profitable to shill rubbish to stay at home moms.

I love this for him. Bless his heart.
/s, if not evident
I never really watched his show but he always gave me the ick. Now I know why.
The most amount of his show I've seen is the segment when the bum fight dude came in dressed like him that gets circulated every few months.
Fuck that fake ass grifter motherfucker, piece of shit.
I'm shocked a man who exploited people going through crises decided to align with trump
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
Oprah is responsible for doing so much damage.
yep she spread so much misinformation even before she gave those two quacks airtime. She's basically the female version of Joe Rogan
she gave those two quacks airtime
Don't forget the other quack "psychic surgeon" she did a segment on who turned out to be a serial rapist.

He's not a doctor, they took that away.
Also, I think I hear the world's smallest violin playing a mournful tune just for him.
They took that away because he fucked a teenage patient. College kid came to him for depression, he gave her a job and had sex with her.
They were going to supervise his practice and let him keep his license, but he gave it up rather than submit to supervision.
There are a couple of stories of addicts on his show being offered drugs before they went on to make them relapse/seem worse. The show was basically an exploitation of people desperate enough to take public humiliation in exchange for mental health “help.”
I think he’s in part responsible for a lot of terrible attitudes about mental health - a popular understanding that “tough love” is a helpful approach, a refusal to acknowledge the impact of trauma… A general problem with America seems to be viewing TV show personalities as “experts.”

This guy doesn’t know that most of the activity online from MAGA are bots? He legit thought there were millions of people trying listen to his shenanigans. He needs to pay homage in order for Putin to boost his numbers.
you are forgetting another thing, hes competing with other right wing grifter who has alot of the market share. originally TP usa, OWENs, shapiro, crowder,,,,etc.
Apparently he didnt.
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
There seem to be quite a lot of rich idiots out there who think they're going to get a seat at the table because they openly proclaim support for the king. There are only so many keys, and they were handed out long ago. If you're not rich enough to fund them directly, they're not going to give you the time of day.
what kind of loser does this at age 75 and doesnt retire with all their money?
they want a legacy, and attention. if you have been in media talk show host for a long time, you wouldnt want to give up that spotlight.
Giuliani.
That fucking idiot could have lived the rest of his life as America's Mayor. Instead he decided to be a fucking joke.

There is probably a pasture where Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell, and all the other (literal) losers roam. Dr. Phil can join them there!
