'Trump has this sort of reverse Midas effect on people': CNN panel amazed at how Trump destroyed 'Candy Man' Jackson

Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Veterans Administration, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, has withdrawn and will return to the White House to continue as Trump's personal physician. On Thursday, as the news broke, CNN discussed the situation.

Trump is not happy, and is now targeting Montana Senator Jon Tester, who sunk the nomination of Dr. Ronnie "Candy Man" Jackson with a memo that cited sources alleging that Jackson handed out prescription pills without proper examinations, drank on the job, and once wrecked a government car after a Secret Service going away party.

Matt Lewis of The Daily Beast doesn't think Trump's attacks on Tester are going to go anywhere. This is Trump "trying to salvage something," out of yet another setback.

"I don't think this nominee was actually qualified for the job," he said. "Dr. Ronny Jackson was not qualified to run the VA. I think that, in and of itself, deserves him to have withdrawn."

The White House didn't do Jackson any favors but not preparing or vetting him, said host John Berman.

"This is yet another example of Trump taking actually someone who had a pretty sterling reputation, this guy way highly regarded and respected... and now his reputation is in tatters," Lewis said. "For some reason Donald Trump has this sort of reverse Midas effect on people he interacts with."
