As the Washington Post said, "Trump's appearance on Oz's TV show now sounds like a pure PR stunt designed to hype the candidate's fitness, regardless of what his physician might have found. It sounds like a total joke."
He makes a mockery of good health, saying his only exercise is waving his arms back and forth at debates, eats fast food because you know what's in it, and Dr Oz even pushes the BS even further by agreeably taking the supposed-to-be-believed tests results from the Orange Marshmallow and looking them over, saying that he'd be pleased if he had a patient come to him with these results.
This is so clearly propaganda at it's finest and slickly done by his campaign to go on and make it look like a well-known doctor approves of his health!
And, while we're at it, can we make some Free Ivanka shirts for him kissing her as much as he can, as he says on the Oz show wishing he could kiss her more!
I can't imagine this guy as president! What a disaster that'd be...

(21,056 posts)what is unfortunate is that Dr Oz is liked by millions and him uttering an approval on national TV about what he sees before his eyes concerning Mr Cheeto's health being something he'd be pleased to see from a new patient. The few dozen times I've probably seen Oz due to the guest he had on, he really comes across so emphatic in his certainties. It sucks he'll be pushing the "Donald is the healthiest candidate" ever BS that his campaign put out.

(13,776 posts)From what little I've read about him it seems like kind of a bunch of infomercials now. I don't watch the show so I don't speak from any experience whatsoever, but I don't think he gets much respect any more. I wouldn't be surprised if his credulous acceptance of, and praise for, Trump's results--and the pretense of surprise when Trump decided to share them after all--backfired on him.

(22,976 posts)His entire "campaign" has been a series of spectacles, insults, brawls, outrageous claims and out-and-out lies. All of which has everyone wondering, "What's next? What weird Trumpian horseflop will happen tomorrow?"
Trump really does exist within some strange, tone-deaf, reality-TV-endless-informercial universe. The problem is that he wants to drag the entire country into this dangerous territory with him.

(21,056 posts)deluded universe. He's so self important and 100% all-knowing. It's quite disturbing how he's allowed to play out this insanity on TV...

(21,056 posts)So, I won't start a new thread in another forum, but I will say here. I have a Go Fund Me that was very hard for me to do, and about 7 or 8 DUers have donated what they could to help me with fixing my car and getting moved to Colorado after a long decade as my brother's caregiver.
You can read about it at https://www.gofundme.com/2awn4dfw
Thanks if you're able to help. I'm hopeful to get enough to at least get my car fixed. I can do a lot with a running car!

(21,056 posts)Telling a grieving dad that his son committed suicide instead of just a car accident is stunning. WTH... Oz should have ended the taping. I believe on some form of gift, but ta hell if I'm gonna have some questionable 'psychic' who's been accused of having plants and prior knowledge come on and tell a dad his kid actually killed himself!
