Trump praised Oz’s political stances and called him “popular, respected, and smart,” adding: “He even said that I was in extraordinary health, which made me like him even more (although he said I should lose a couple of pounds!)”

“Dr. Oz — great guy, good man, Harvard-educated, tremendous, tremendous career and they liked him for a long time,” Trump said.
