Dr. Phil weighs in on Trump bully claims: ‘He’s just better at it than anybody else’

Dr. Philip McGraw breaks down why former President Donald Trump is not a bully, and he knows a little something about the subject.

The famous television host and psychologist spoke to the crowd gathered at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, putting to rest rampant leftist rumors that the former president is a “bully.”

“It is always wrong when you bully somebody. And that’s what’s going on now. Let me tell you what the critics are going to say when they hear me talking about this. They’re going to say, well, now, wait a minute, come on, isn’t Trump a bully? And let me tell you why the answer to that question is no,” Dr. Phil explained.

“Because to be a bully, there has to be an imbalance of power. And when there’s not, it’s just called a debate. And he’s just better at it than anybody else. It’s called debating. It’s called arguing. It just may even be name-calling. But it’s not bullying unless there’s an imbalance of power.”

He admitted that he “may not be an expert in politics,” but he is something of an “expert about bullying.”

McGraw also endorsed Trump for the first time at the rally, though he has previously expressed support for the former president and has railed against the “weaponization” of the justice system.

During an interview with the television host, Trump revealed that he believes God spared his life, following an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. He also said he believes that rhetoric from the left, and specifically President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, is to blame for the attempts on his life.

“I’ve always been sort of angry,” Trump said. “You know, we talk about Secret Service, [Biden] always made it very tough for us to have the proper number of Secret Service people. And I don’t know whose fault it is, but I will tell you, I’d have these massive rallies with 50-60,000 people or more, and our people were always fighting to get more security, more Secret Service.”

“And he knew that we didn’t have enough,” the former president continued. “And he’d have a rally of three or four people, I mean nobody would go. If he had a rally, if he got twenty people, it was a lot. Nobody would go. They’d stand on a road and they’d look for people to try and be there like he had somebody behind him, and yet he had a massive contingent of Secret Service. And I know that they wanted to have his people come over to these big rallies that I was having. And I know that it was a very tough situation.”
