The potential of a Harris administration had “Shark Tank” star Mr. Wonderful invoking Canada’s “it kid” as he warned who would end up on their “knees.”

Whether or not he intended the correlation, entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary was unequivocally frank in his analysis about Vice President Kamala Harris’ record of falling upward and who it would leave prostrate as he joined NewsNation to react to the July jobs report.
Pivoting off of what had been seen of her campaign strategy thus far, the Canadian-born investor looked north to his native land as he expressed, “There’s an example of an ‘it kid’ a few years ago up in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Nobody looked at his background, nobody looked at his policies. He was the ‘it kid.'”
“That country is on its knees! He wiped it out!” contended O’Leary. “He had no executional skills. Are Americans gonna basically hire or, you know, basically bring a president that’s another Justin Trudeau? I hope not.”
Prior to his suggestion that the United States could suffer from a similar Marxist-driven fate, it had been suggested that roughly 20% of donors were suffering from “buyer’s remorse” over the no-contest coronation of Harris as the party’s nominee.
The entrepreneur suggested that the constant coverage of the vice president since President Joe Biden suspended his campaign on July 21 could have been milked even more if the Democrats had gone forward with a rushed contest leading into the beginning of the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19. “What if they’d run a process and sucked all the energy and all the…social media out of the market for five weeks? That could’ve been interesting and if she is the best, she would have risen to the top just like cream does.”
“I don’t blame her for not bringing up policy. She should just rant and rave, saying ‘I’m not Trump’ until August 7 because she’s raising so much money,” argued O’Leary. “But then, she’s got to talk policy and I don’t know what that looks like and nobody does because she’s like a blank sheet of paper.”
“She’s an inconsequential VP — not that that’s bad. Every VP is inconsequential. They get no media,” he contended.
Harris’s effort to gaslight herself into the White House had included her own reaction to the jobs report that, prior to any anticipated adjustments, showed unemployment had risen to 4.3% as the 175,000 jobs added estimate was off by over 60,000 at only 114,000.
To that, her campaign spokesman James Singer faulted former President Donald Trump and claimed, “Donald Trump failed Americans as president, costing our economy millions of jobs, and bringing us to the brink of recession. Now, he’s promising even more damage with a Project 2025 agenda that will decimate the middle class and increase taxes on working families, while ripping away health care, raising prescription drug costs, and cutting Social Security and Medicare — all while making his billionaire donors richer.”
Putting O’Leary’s “it kid” slam in perspective, he had joined “The Daniela Cambone Show” in March where he’d told the journalist of Trudeau, “He is the worst manager Canada has ever had. Total incompetency underneath him in the cabinet seats. Total incompetency in almost every mandate. Absolutely, the worst I’ve ever seen.”
