Late Saturday evening, former President Donald Trump officially endorsed his old TV pal Dr. Mehmet Oz in the ruckus Republican U.S. Senate primary race in Pennsylvania.
In doing so, Trump, while speaking at a rally in North Carolina, ignited fury and ridicule among some of the loudest voices in Trumpworld.
At issue among Trumps most fervent supporters is the belief that Oz, a Turkish-American TV physician who has hobnobbed with Hollywoods elite and has flip-flopped on the issue of abortion, isnt a trustworthy America First Republican candidate, compared to fellow candidate Dave McCormick, who has ex-Trump administration officials Hope Hicks and Stephen Miller by his side.
I have enormous respect for President Trump. I was honored to have his endorsement in PA. Twice, Sean Parnell, the former Trump-backed candidate, who dropped out of the race after an abuse allegation surfaced from his estranged ex-wife, wrote on Twitter. But Im disappointed by this. Oz is the antithesis of everything that made Trump the best president of my lifetime.

But the word salad and the clownish behavior are only getting worse. And it does show up. Notice how 'sickly' some of these appearances and rallies have looked recently?

(6,035 posts)On a side note, one of my mon's friends (who unfortunately recently passed away) wrote a book about Columbia Presbyterian's heart surgery team. Before Dr. Oz became a quack selling fake nutritional supplements he was a very respected cardiac surgeon. When doing research for the book he interviewed some of Dr. Oz's professors at the medical school. They told him he was one of the smartest students they ever taught in their careers.
It's very sad what he has become.
