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.

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.
