Dr Phil faces 'total collapse' after MAGA alignment backfires massively: report - Discuss Online

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.

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.

Damn, look at him go.

Gonna out play the devil for sure.

Show threadandros_rexOct 15

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.”

Please don’t. I’m stuck in the past and he really doesn’t fit in well here either.

Just another sycophant, an opportunist looking to grab for power off the back of the truck of us democracy.
Show threaddmtalonOct 14

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.

Ok, so not an island but said house is on her excessive amount of property.

Show threadbinarytobisOct 15
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.
Show threadChickenLadyLovesLifeOct 15
At a certain level of wealth, it becomes about the power you have over people. There’s only so much personal consumption of material things you can actually engage in, then the pleasure comes from bending people to your will. If you retire and hide yourself away, there aren’t many people around to command.
