Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 42m

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.
