Behind the Bastards did an interesting series on his background.

What's weirdest is he is an accomplished surgeon who has literally saved lives, but for some people that isn't enough. I imagine a universe where Dr. Oz gets in a bad car accident, loses the use of his hands, and has to learn sorcery in a misguided attempt to fix himself only to become Sorceror Supreme.

Sometimes you remind me how completely out of touch you are with the working class
His problem was he was a Trump selected candidate. If he wasn't a Trump backed candidate he probably would have won
