Dr. Oz Got Endorsed By Donald Trump

 

I used to enjoy the Dr. Oz show a little bit, whenever I was off during a weekday to see it--because Dr. Oz isn't 100% horseshit as a doctor, or at least, he wasn't always. Sure, the hydroxychloroquine/ivermectin/anti-Fauci shit is obviously a political cry for help, and he's always been at least a little bit pop-science-y and "one weird trick" prone--but his show sometimes did relate useful health information. And then he decided to run for US Senate in my state as a Republican.

And that was when he fucked up. This North Jersey ass jumped up tv bullshit promoting should have had his tv syndicated thing and left a good thing be.

But see, he didn't do that, and for some reason, Trump is endorsing him for this actually important political role. 

And MAGAs are agape and aghast. Why, how? This is an OprahWorld op! He's a Hollywoodian liberal! How are we being betrayed by Trump and can we still "trust the plan"?

So, to work these things backwards, there never was a plan. Trump is not a planner. He hasn't got the bandwidth for one and thinking he's part of some white hat brigade is wishful thinking gone mad. Trump endorses Dr. Oz because he knows who Oz is because he is a Hollywoodian liberal.  He saw him on tv. Probably Fox News. Trump only knows people are any good because he saw them on tv. KT McFarland--was on tv, brilliant. Fiona Hill, not on tv until Trump made her infamous, has an accent, doesn't know what she's talking about. (She literally wrote the book on Putin. She knows what she's talking about.) 

Trump endorsements are a very mixed bag. 

Trump doesn't care what his endorsees are about--take a look at Herschel Walker--who seems like a wreck of a person who should not be doing this thing at all. But he's famous! So Trump has endorsed him. He figures being famous is good enough, no matter what the caliber of the damaged jackass he endorses is. Never forget that Trump endorsed child molester Roy Moore because he thought he had to. That his endorsement would matter and that Moore's being a sicko would not. He also thought in a red state Moore's win would be forgone anyway, and it was not, because OMG, what part of "child molester" sounded okay to this fuckface? 

So anyway, the twice-impeached one-term wonder who failed at his insurrection and is only getting more feeble and sad in front of your very eyes endorsed a tv SOB in a swing state, MAGAs. Is this your King? 

I really don't care what the answer is. I'm just amused that this bothers them because the choice actually makes total TrumpWorld sense.
