Kevin O'Leary Orders Abby Phillip To Shed Her 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'
HuffPost
The CNN host told “Mr. Wonderful” the "Constitution would like to have a word."
“Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary is having a moment as a conservative antagonist on CNN’s “NewsNight With Abby Phillip.” (Watch the video below.)
O’Leary on Tuesday took issue with panelists upset over President Donald Trump’s desire to accept a $400 million jet as a gift from Qatar that he would use as Air Force One.
The deal has been deemed an ethical concern that appears to violate the U.S. Constitution’s clause about receiving gifts from foreign governments.
“What does this have to do with Middle East policy?” O’Leary, who goes by the nickname Mr. Wonderful, blurted out. “What does this have to do with the fact that he is trying to create a circle of friendship with the fastest growing geographies in the world before China does?”
“Who cares about the plane?” he asked later. “Why focus on something that is irrelevant?”
