‘Mr. Wonderful’ Blasts Trump Ruling: “Might As Well Find Guilty Every Real Estate Developer on Earth”

Legendary investor Kevin O’Leary, known as Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank, has three words to describe Trump’s civil ruling: “unjust,” “appalling” and “un-American.”

On Friday, leftists celebrated as Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron handed down a crushing financial sentence, ordering Trump to pay $354 million and barring him from operating real estate in New York.

In a new interview with The New York Post, O’Leary reacted to the ridiculous sentencing, claiming “That fact that he was found guilty, you might as well find guilty every real estate developer on Earth.”

He went on to add, “If this judgment sticks, every developer must be jailed. They must be found guilty. They must be put out of business. You can’t do this to one another. It’s not about Trump. It’s appalling. It’s unjust. I would go as far to say it’s un-American.”

About a month ago, Kevin O’Leary appeared on CNN to blast Leticia James’ civil trial against Trump and explain how nonsensical the case was:

Now that the corrupt judge in NY has ordered Trump to pay $354.9 million, it’s a good time to revisit what Kevin O’Leary “Mr. Wonderful” had to say about this sham case recently. Keep in mind this guy isn’t even a fan of Trump:

Here’s an excerpt from O’Leary’s post-ruling interview with The New York Post:

In a scathing rebuke of a New York Judge’s decision to fine Donald Trump a staggering $355 million, the entrepreneur and media personality Kevin O’Leary minced no words, denouncing the ruling as “unjust,” “appalling” and ultimately “un-American.”

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s Friday ruling not only slapped Trump with that hefty fine, but also with a temporary ban from conducting business in his native New York.

O’Leary, known for his role on “Shark Tank,” lambasted the decision, arguing that it sets a dangerous precedent for the entire real estate industry.

O’Leary had previously been critical of the months-long fraud case in the media, saying on CNN recently that, “I don’t think this thing will ever survive appeal regardless of what the fine is. This doesn’t even make sense.”

“That fact that he was found guilty, you might as well find guilty every real estate developer on Earth,” O’Leary said in an exclusive interview with The Post.

The judge’s decree bars Trump from assuming any officer or director positions in New York for three years, a move O’Leary sees as detrimental not just to Trump, but also to the broader business landscape.

“I don’t understand where someone got hurt … What developer doesn’t ask for the highest price valued for any building they built?” O’Leary said.

BizPacReview also commented on O’Leary’s response:

An entrepreneur and investor who is known as Mr. Wonderful on the long-running business reality show, O’Leary blasted the ruling as “unjust,” “appalling” and “un-American,” three terms that seem to perfectly describe the abomination in Engoron’s courtroom.

“That fact that he was found guilty, you might as well find guilty every real estate developer on Earth,” O’Leary told the New York Post in an interview after the ruling came down.

Engoron also barred the Republican frontrunner, a titan in the New York real estate development industry, from assuming any position as director or officer in the Empire State for three years, which O’Leary “sees as detrimental not just to Trump, but also to the broader business landscape,” according to the outlet.

“I don’t understand where someone got hurt … What developer doesn’t ask for the highest price valued for any building they built?” O’Leary asked.

“It’s not healthy for the country,” O’Leary added. “I want this reviewed and appealed and turned over because it’s wrong for everybody that participates.”

“If this judgment sticks, every developer must be jailed. They must be found guilty. They must be put out of business. You can’t do this to one another. It’s not about Trump,” he said, adding. “It’s appalling. It’s unjust. I would go as far to say it’s un-American.”
