Dr. Oz offers advice to sufferers of ‘Trump derangement syndrome’: ‘Treating stupid is really hard’
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz had some blunt advice for critics of President Donald Trump, whom the commander in chief often says suffer from “Trump derangement syndrome.”
“I am concerned about folks who have focused their entire life energy on dislike of the president,” Oz told reporters on Tuesday. “It’s disheartening to see people lost that way, but treating stupid is really hard.”
Oz was the fourth Trump Cabinet official to brief reporters while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave after the birth of her second child.
The briefing ranged from questions about his anti-fraud efforts to Trump’s health after last week’s third visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in a year.
“He does really well,” Oz said. “He aces the test every single day, and I do actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything is going in the right direction. He’s a very meticulous person in so many ways that are often underappreciated. But for him to want to know all the numbers and keep on top of him, it’s the same reason he calls people at odd hours, because something’s on his mind, he wants to deal with it.”
“I think he likes the results,” Oz added.

Reporters also asked about Trump’s decision on Tuesday to appoint his housing finance guru Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.
“I do trust the president’s judgment,” he said. “He is a very sharp and quick study of people, their emotional abilities, and their ability to persevere in the face of hardship, so I have confidence in his decision.”
