Dr. Phil used his primetime show on Monday to call on Joe Biden to throw out Donald Trump’s conviction for 34 felony counts of forgery.
Trump faces heavy fines and potentially prison time at his July 11 sentencing, throwing the 2024 election into chaos.
The veteran TV host, who has been delving deeper into hard news with his primetime show on Merit Street Media, decried the “militarization” of the justice system to convict Trump.
He asked President Biden for “an end to this madness to save the collective soul and sanity” of the United States.
“The current administration could and should do the right thing: discard now, even now, after the conviction of a political opponent, all that legal warfare and commit to returning to the normal functioning of a properly run government.”
Dr. Phil used his primetime show on Monday to call on Joe Biden to throw out Donald Trump’s conviction for 34 felony counts of forgery.
He believes the United States could become a “banana republic” similar to many autocratic nations, similar to Russia.
‘What are we going to do now? Find a ‘Putin poisoning group’ and start finding political opponents foaming at the mouth at home, and not dying so mysteriously in their Lay-Z-Boy recliners?
Dr. Phil stated that he does not “advocate voting for one candidate or another,” but wants to help “right the ship” of the United States.
“We need to get our Department of Justice back to the task of delivering justice and not executing the political agendas of those currently in power,” he said.
He added that such “militarization” of the justice system “gives me goosebumps.”
Dr. Phil then called on both sides of the aisle to get over their mutual dislike and determine right from wrong.
‘Let’s be honest, this is not just about Trump. “If you let your hatred of Donald Trump compromise your ability to find true north on your moral compass, shame on you,” he said.
He then added: “If you let your dislike of Biden blind you to the inevitable consequences of seeking revenge, then God help the children who will inherit the dystopian nightmare we created.”

The former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday in a Manhattan court.
The prosecution was led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a well-known “progressive prosecutor.”
Trump’s legal team is expected to appeal regardless of the July 11 ruling, but the unprecedented conviction triggers a process that all convicted criminals face within Manhattan’s criminal justice system.
In theory, Trump could face 136 years in prison if given consecutive sentences on all charges.
But even before the verdict was handed down, legal experts suggested Trump was unlikely to spend time behind bars.
Trump, at 77 years old, has no previous convictions. The charges also involve a non-violent crime.
New York law does not recommend a prison sentence for nonviolent felonies when the defendant has no prior felony convictions in the past decade.
The most likely option, according to legal experts, is that the former president faces probation or a heavy fine. Both pose their own challenges for the former president.

Meanwhile, Trump, as a former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has another unique consideration that officials must deal with.
Trump has Secret Service protection. The agency has reportedly already been in talks about how it would proceed to protect him in the event that Trump was actually locked up.
Trump’s lawyers have already managed to paralyze the other three cases against him.
While New York law made it difficult to delay the hush money case, his team is expected to appeal the conviction.
