    Dr. Phil McGraw implored supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump during a speech on Sunday to stand up to bullying and protect others.

    McGraw made the remarks at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden before a sold out crowd just days before the 2024 election.

    "[Trump]'s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him, and sued him," he said. "And where is he? He is still standing."

    "I can be honest and say I don't like or agree everything that Donald J Trump does or says," he continued. "I mean, come on, nobody agrees with everything or likes everything somebody else says or does, right? No human is perfect. We don't strive for perfection. We strive for excellence. But you don't have to love everything about someone in order to love them, and the last thing he needs is some celebrity endorsement."

    He said that the reason he came to speak at the rally was to tell Trump's supporters that they needed to "stand up for the people who have declared their support for Donald J Trump, or they got found out, or they want to do it, but they're too intimidated."

    "Because you know what happens when somebody in this country says, 'Hey, I'm going to vote Republican, I'm going to vote Donald J Trump?'" he asked. "They get canceled, intimidated, marginalized, excluded, or even fired or boycotted. And you know what that means? In short, that adds up to being bullied."

    "Bullying is when you seek to harm somebody, you seek to intimidate, coerce, cause distress, fear, risk to their well being," he said. "And it can be physical, verbal, relational or cyber bullying. And it's always wrong. It is always wrong when you bully somebody, and that's what's going on."

    He noted that in order to be a bully "there has to be an imbalance of power, and when there's not, it's just called a debate" which is why he believes Trump is not a bully.

    "He's just better at it than anybody else," he said. "It's called debating. It's called arguing. It's not bullying unless there's an imbalance of power. And whoever he talks to, they've got a microphone, they got on their big boy pants, they got a stage, they got everything else. He's just better at it. And the same thing is true when the Democrats or Harris call him fascist, Hitler, racist, misogynist or a crook. Is that bullying? Well, not really. It's ugly, but with the First Amendment, which we all want to keep, there's no imbalance of power."

    He said that if people witness others being bullied that it was their responsibility to stand up and put a stop to it.

    "When you say you love America, that's a verb that also means you love Americans," he said. "You've got to push back and call out the bullies. You've got to stand with those that have targets in their lives, targets, if they're picking on them by calling their jobs to get them fired, boycotts or kicking them out of their jobs or their groups at church."

Since the Democratic Socialist campaign message has been that the Republican nominee, "Donald Trump is a threat to Democracy," is it not exceedingly ironic that the leadership of the Democratic Socialist party is endeavoring to remove their presumptive nominee - Joseph R. Biden, though elected - as their candidate for the presidency of the United States?
  The Democratic Socialists reserve the right to always be incredibly flexible in all matters pertaining to communicated core ideals.
  The Democratic Socialists are long on hyperbolic promise, but way short on purposeful performance, ergo, they are grand hypocrites of the first order.
  None of this really matters.

Now that Kamala Harris has been coronated the Democratic Socialist designee for nomination as their candidate for President of these United States, after that political party's contrived primary process "democratically" elected Joseph R. Biden: What are your feelings about this party's progressive posture within their self-styled exercise of "Saving Democracy for America," and how truly critical the outcome of this presidential election will be?
  I am ecstatic that this "Democracy's" First partially Black, First partially Indian, First female Co-Parent, and this nation's primary necessity is to elect Kamala our First woman president.
  I really do not care about all these "Firsts." I will continue to pray, and work for this Representative Republic to elect someone competent, and brilliantly patriotic to be our next president.
  I will never vote for any politician that "first" does not have the core values to understand how dire this Constitutional Republic's situation has become.
