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.
And tonight… tonight the leopards shall feast on the egg headed carrion.
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.
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?
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 scumbaggeryTotally agree about the USA and Democrats. Dr. Phil is that inhuman “Third Line”, hating people in what Democrats and Republicans alike saw as the “right” ways. He’s the worst type of monster, because he preys on the most vulnerable under the guise of “morality”; using his technically-valid title and the fame and money he has to exploit more kids for more fame and money.
It didn’t start in the “90s”. This is the way
the USA- hell, Western Catholic civilization - has always been. Dr. Phil embodies the head of a “crisis pregnancy” center that guilt-trips a young woman seeking abortion; the leader of the gay-erasure teen retreat; the priest that tells a young boy to keep quiet; the hospital doctor that holds an unwilling patient under a “protection” law; the Karen who requests a “wellness check” on their neighbors of color; the prison medic who sterilizes an unconscious indigenous woman; the suburban moms shrieking “For The Children”; the dentist signing their patients up for a “Care Credit” card while they’re under anesthesia. Cruelty under the guise of kindness; wiping its hands clean on the letter of the law.
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
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.
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.
And antivax Jenny McCarthy
That guy is a monster.
But she did give us Abby’s weird obsession with her on broad city which was consistently hillarious.
I miss broad city.
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.”
Here it is
That is a cello
That’s a tardigrade
I think we have to call them regardigrades now.
My brain first read that as “retardigrades” and now I feel like I’m going to hell
Then you got the joke 😝
I just call em Reggies for short
And I’m jello… Bayyyybeeee
I’m having trouble making it out, but it’s definitely there.
Damn, look at him go.
Gonna out play the devil for sure.
Has Oprah apologized for promoting this POS yet?
She never will.
She’s probably on the list.
Epstein’s?
Jenny Craig’s
Where the hell is Oprah anyways?
Hiding in her plantation in Hawaii next to Zuckerberg. She didn’t become a billionaire by being a good person.
Enjoying Trump tax breaks.
Indeed.
It sickens me.
In her 70s, retired lol.
I suppose… it’s just that’s it’s quite rare for these rich old folks to just quietly fuck off and enjoy their money.
I’m sure she’s funding/doing some nefarious things. Doing so is like a cover fee for the billionaire club.
Wasn’t she shilling foreskin face cream, or has she moved on from that?
Doesn’t she own an island in Hawaii?
No, she has a house in Maui.
Ok, so not an island but said house is on her excessive amount of property.
That’s massive.
Good gawd, no wonder the native Hawaiians are angry
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.
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
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.
Also those lead deposits in their brain now getting energized by 5g and rattling around.
Narcissism.
That is the cause of most of world’s troubles.
Well, that and general psychological insecurity.
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.
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.
Dumb people with too big of egos!
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.
There is probably a pasture where Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell, and all the other (literal) losers roam. Dr. Phil can join them there!
Undeterred, McGraw quickly launched Envoy Media Company with Steve Harvey
The clown show carries on.
