LOS ANGELES.–Joining the Vice President Kamala Harris campaign as a political hack, 66-year-old billionaire owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and ABC’s “Shark Tank” reality TV show Mark Cuban has taken to slamming 78-year-old former President Donald Trump. Let there be no mistake, Cuban lacks all credibility and ethical standards ripping Trump on the Disney-backed TV stations or any other liberal networks like CNN and CNBC. It’s no surprise that Disney’s ABC New affiliate posts only negative stories about Trump, the same kind of inexcusable bias seen in the ABC News Sept. 10 debate where nighttime national anchor David Muir and host Linsey Davis fact-checked Trump through the debate but gave Kamala a pass on everything. It’s that kind of extreme bias that motivates Cuban to take shots at Trump not on substance but on his personal vendetta. Trump called Cuban “a real lightweight.”
Quoting an interview with YouTuber Brian Taylor Cohen, Cuban called Trump “the antithesis” of someone of good character. When all else fails, Cuban uses the standard, worn-out Democrat talking point, essentially smearing Trump without any facts of lying and cheating. “I think they believe they can manipulate him. I think they understand that he’s so transactional and so devoid of core values that anything that they want they can manipulate him to get,” Cuba said of billionaire Elon Musk and other Silicon Valley backers. Cuban makes wild accusations on a radical led YouTube TV, but doesn’t apparently recall that Trump was president for four years and none of the Democrat smears came true. What transactions is Cuban talking about? Did Trump make deals with 71-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping or North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un?
Trump kept the country out of war for four years and developed strong working relationships with all American adversaries. What transactions is Cuban talking about? He ended the Iranian Nuke Deal because giving Iran cash and ending sanctions sponsored more terrorism in the Middle East in North Africa. What kind to deal did Trump cut with Xi Jinping? He slapped tariffs on Chinese goods to equalize the trade imbalance that had China taking advantage of the U.S. for years. Trump ended Obama’s North American Free Trade Agreement that gave Mexico and Canada preferred trade but left the U.S. holding the bag. Cuban talks in vague generalities about Trump but never says what Kamala would do because she has no plan at all for the economy, trade or, most importantly, repairing damage to U.S.-Russian and U.S.-Chinese relations.
Cuban said Trump was the most “unethical” and “dishonest” he’s ever worked or done business with. Fancy that, Cuban has never done business or worked with Trump on any joint business project. So, who’s the one telling the bald-faced lies? Cuban uses the Hillary line of attack against Trump that he’s cutting deals to enrich himself with foreign leaders. Did any of Trump kids work for a corrupt Ukrainian energy company like Biden’s son, Hunter? How did Trump benefit from any of his foreign businesses, like selling green fees or room rates at one of his many foreign golf properties? Cuban likes to smear Trump to a low-life liberal hack on YouTube and insist that Trump is the dishonest one. “I can’t even imagine why people consider Donald Trump because of his lack of character and ethics,” Cuban said, repeating himself and his phony Democrat talking points.
Cuban conflates his hatred toward Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who endorsed Trump for President. Cuban says that Musk would own Trump and control the presidency, because of all his money. “I mean, I would—if I had the same goal, I wouldn’t care about my EV sales, right? I wouldn’t care about my Starlink sales,” Cuban said, noting his envy of Musk and endorsement of Trump. One of the most successful U.S. entrepreneurs in U.S. history believes that the he trusts the mighty U.S. economy in Trump’s hands, not Kamala. Cuban is too narrow-minded to even consider the possible failings of the Biden-Harris foreign policy that pushes Europe and world closer to WW III or nuclear War. But with a Kamala presidency, the prospect of war with China would be a growing possibility. Kamala shows no daylight between for foreign policy and Biden.
Cuban showed he’s just another Democrat political hack, someone with a little cash and TV fame, wants to throw in his two cents on the 2024 election. Cuban wants you to believe that Kamala has a real plan for the economy and foreign policy, when, in fact, she has neither. Cuban says he trusts Kamala because she’s a person or empathy and character, but, like Biden, she has the U.S. at war with the Russian Federation with no end in sight. Cuban likes to shoot off his mouth as long as he’s never challenged for repeating his Democrat talking points. Cuban can’t answer what would happen to Wall Street and the U.S. economy if war breaks out in Europe and China. “I just think he was and would be a lousy president,” Cuban said, knowing that Biden-Harris gave the U.S. the worst inflation in 40 years. They both embroiled the U.S. into a costly, unending war with the Russian Federation.
