CNN descended into mayhem with the explosive headline that US president Donald Trump has been dubbed “chicken” by Wall Street moguls.

On NewsNight with Abby Phillip, a heated exchange unfolded as podcast host Kmele Foster debated with Canadian business mogul Kevin O’Leary, also known as Mr Wonderful, regarding the state of unemployment in the US. As the breaking news ticker flashed “Trump erupts over Wall Street referring to him ‘chicken,’” Foster initiated the debate, questioning, “Well here’s the question. What percentage of job loss is fine and okay when the President of the United States-” only to be swiftly interrupted.

O’Leary retorted sharply, “There’s no job loss. We’re almost at full employment, what are you talking about?! There’s no job loss in America!”

Foster countered, “Is the claim that there have been absolutely no jobs lost because of the disruptions created by the tariffs-” but was cut off once more by O’Leary, who asserted adamantly, “You can say that, but you better read the numbers. We’re almost full employment! What are you talking about?”

Standing his ground, he pressed on: “The economy’s on fire. What are you talking about?” reports the Express.

Joining the fray, podcast host Jennifer Welch supported Foster’s stance, stating, “We are a laughing stock. We are a laughing stock in Europe, a laughing stock in Asia.”

Yet Kevin held firmly to his position, rebuffing, “That’s not what the numbers say. The number one destination for invested capital on earth, is still over 50% in America.”

He exclaimed, “Tonight! Tonight! Right now! So I don’t what you’re talking about, ‘we’re a laughing stock.’ The money pours in. Trillions of dollars comes to America. Why? Best place to invest on Earth.”

This comes days after Stephen Miller got into a heated debate with CNN’s Pamela Brown while they spoke about immigration. Stephen has been a vocal advocate of the president’s crackdown on immigration and his deportation agenda.

When Brown asked Miller about Trump’s executive powers, Miller snapped, “Am I going to sit here and engage in radical hypotheticals?”

“This administration has religiously complied with even the most unlawful court orders, but it completely upends the constitutional system to have a single judge in Boston assert the same powers of the president of the United States — is such an offense to democracy,” he added.
