Dr. Phil: I'm not supporting Trump

Only a week after it was widely reported in the media that Dr Phil McGraw spoke at one of Donald Trump's campaign meetings, the TV star claims that he does not support the presidential candidate. He spoke as a "rebellious act" against Kamala Harris, he says in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Variety writes that the TV psychologist initially wanted to speak at one of Kamala Harris' campaign meetings and that he tried to reach out "over 25 times", but her team never responded. Therefore, it was Trump's supporters who got to listen to Dr. Phil for 17 minutes at Madison Square Garden a week ago.

I didn't speak to show my support for Donald Trump. I hate when celebrities go out publicly like that. But I stand by what I said and I could still participate in a Harris meeting and say exactly the same thing, just replacing "Trump" with "Harris", he says.

Among other things, Dr. Phil talked about cancel culture, gave a jab to journalists, and claimed that Donald Trump "is not a bully".

When asked by Piers Morgan who he thinks he will vote for, Dr. Phil responds that he "thinks he has made up his mind", but he will never reveal it.

Whoever it is, we are all Americans. And when the election result is announced, we must stand behind the winner and support the president, he says.

Dr. Phil's talk show was broadcast on American TV from 2002 to 2023.
