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.

TIL he is still around. Hadn't heard anything about Dr. Phil in a decade or more

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

He can always lean into his doctor status.... Oh Wait!

There is not enough money to support all the grifters. Indirect proof that MAGA and other right wing movements are bots astroturfed by bullies and idiots.

he came into the game too late. the og ones, shapiro, owens, POOLE, crowder, or iginally kirk were there first. seems alot of "streamers of games are trying to get into the biz too" i used to followed some asian ytubers that are trying to get into grifting from the right, because they trashed thier reputation through a series of incidents (one of them being extremely mysogynistic towards female employees that once worked for them)they caused and never owned up to. they hosted TULSI GABBARD last year on thier channel.

He's been broadly opposed by the left for years now. His rampant ablism and radical pro torturing children positions being the primary reasons.

Well unless he's a total moron and not just playing one on TV he already made all his money from all the gullible people over the last 25 years so, why's he care?

Unless he pulls a my pillow guy he could just back into the shadows and live his life a lot better off than the rest of us.

(I did not read the article, just making assumptions)

This is probably what happens. I dont see this dude fighting for shit. I see him crawling into the shadows, having a side piece and yelling at the lawn guys.

Wake me when he's dead so I can chuckle at the thought of his corpse rotting. Right now I'm still amused by thoughts of Charlie Kirk decomposing but that'll get stale soon enough.

he will be probably end up as a participant in the bum fights from the bum fights guy on his show.
