LindellTV White House reporter Cara Castronuova straight-up asked Trump Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services head Dr. Mehmet Oz if he had any “medical advice” for sufferers of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Oz — who is among the more effusive members of President Donald Trump’s uber-effusive cabinet — conducted a White House press briefing on Tuesday as the latest Trump official to fill in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

REPORTER: Very quick one, are America getting real deal medication brand name like Wegovy, Ozempic, or it will be generic on Trump Rx at $50 monthly rate?

DR. MEHMET OZ: The Trump Rx product is the real deal, the true API, the best, the pharmaceutical product that’s made by the two major providers right now, which are Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.

There are other companies coming into the space. We have these products that are given by these companies as part of this deal, so we’d like to use the real product to be able to satisfy the needs of the American consumer.
