Reacting to reports that Michael Boulos, who is married to Donald Trump’s daughter Tiffany, is being included in meetings with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Middle East, MS NOW Host Stephanie Ruhle blurted, “Are you kidding me!?” and suggested something didn’t smell right.Bloomberg Opinion columnist and former Trump biographer Tim O’Brien agreed.“Michael Boulos, yes, I know you don't know this guy's name,” she began. “Rubio said he was just there to see me and to catch up. He also said that Boulos did not participate in any policy discussions. Are you kidding me? Okay, like, seriously? We are talking about a war, we're talking about peace negotiations, we're talking about meeting with international leaders and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Michael, just needed to catch on up with Marco Rubio? And this was the place to do it? How did he fly there? Who paid for that ticket?”“Let's put that meeting in context to the meeting with sheikhs,” O’Brien offered. “The UAE spymaster, a UAE power broker, a very wealthy man who invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the Trump family's crypto operations --.” "World Liberty Financial,” Ruhle helpfully pointed out. “The Trump White House lifted the sale of highly classified semiconductor chips to the UAE that the Biden administration had forbidden to be exported on national security grounds, because chips now are the stuff of military dominance, AI dominance and technology dominance, and they're valuable things to monitor,” he continued.“Marco Rubio is in this meeting with the same sheikh and he has Michael Boulos sitting there like a potted plant who has no foreign policy experience? I don't think has a security clearance,” he added. “Okay, he has been doing rather shifty things, according to the New York Times reporting around deals in the Middle East, also something hinky with a yacht sale to Jared Kushner, et cetera et cetera.”"The only thing Michael Boulos appears to bring to the table is a hunger to cut deals, some of which appear skeevy,” he claimed. “Why is he at the table? And then, when Michael Rubio was asked about it, he said I just thought it would be good for him to attend so he could watch me and hang out. — this is like Animal House.”“Animal House, was a silly movie about boys in a fraternity; this is a war,” Ruhle exclaimed. “This is our national freaking security.” - YouTube youtu.be
