Many tell us what to think. I ask my readers to be skeptical. Question me and others. 
Dr. Phil McGraw is a clinical psychologist who has gained fame thanks to his charming way of asking people seemingly simple questions that are not so easy to answer. Nothing of that happened during the 71-minute-long interview with Donald J. Trump.
Dr. Phil praised Trump and, on a few occasions, suggested the right answers. He never interrupted Trump’s bragging about his achievements. The main narrative was that the presumed opponent, the current president, was not qualifying to be reelected. It was honey for already sworn Trump supporters; there was nothing that could help skeptics or opponents of Trump change their opinion.
It was an example of an interview when mentally the interlocutor asked questions when on his knees. It was exactly the kind of conversation I suggested Elon Musk should not have with Trump on X. Dr. Phil will cure his sore knees after that interview. At X, the credibility of Elon Musk will be at stake. Once lost, he will never get it back.
