Trump Insists He Won California in Wild, Jesus-Filled Rant With Dr. Phil

Donald Trump insisted in a meandering interview with television host Dr. Phil McGraw on Tuesday that he had actually won California, adding that all he needed was an “honest vote counter”—Jesus Christ, to be exact.

“If Jesus Christ came down and was the vote counter, I would win California, OK?” Trump said. “In other words, if we had an honest vote counter, a really honest vote counter—I do great with Hispanics, great, I mean at a level no Republican has ever done—but if we had an honest vote counter, I would win California.”

Dr. Phil, sounding surprised, replied: “You think so?”

“Oh I think so,” Trump said. “I see it. I go around California, they have Trumps signs all over the place...It’s a very dishonest [state], everything is mail-in. They send out 38 million ballots, I think it is,” Trump continued, forging ahead into a monologue about how California is a dishonest system.

“Any time you have a mail-in ballot, you’re going to have massive fraud,” he added.

Is Dr Phil he's not a real doctor by the way a republican? Just like that idiot in Pennsylvania, these would be nobody's without Oprah picking them and putting them on her show.

But the fact that he can sit there and listen to a delusional narcissist with a God complex without calling him on any of it says everything about his lack of integrity.

Phil earned his Ph. D. in clinical psychology and practiced as a psychologist, but his license was voluntarily retired in 2006. This means that while he has the educational background of a psychologist, he is no longer licensed to practice as one.May 27, 2024

(He has been sued multiple times for crossing the line of "practice" as a TV personality, despite not being licensed and his horrendous misrepresentations about COVID-19 seriousness, vaccines, and many other areas should have landed him in the "hoosegow" as far as I am concerned).

He's a conservative, but I don't know for sure that he is a Trumper.
