Trump Gets The Last Laugh On Mark Cuban

Billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks and one of the main personalities on the smash television series Shark Tank, Mark Cuban, has been vocal about his disdain for former President Donald Trump and the vast majority of his policies, making his feelings known about him in interviews and podcasts for years. One of his most recent interviews was with popular podcast host Andrew Schulz.

That particular interview has, thus far, only managed to pull in 624,000 views on YouTube. By most measurements that’s not too terrible. However, it pales in comparison to the 2.8 million views that Trump’s interview with Schulz has garnered. Amazingly, the Trump interview was only posted two days ago. Cuban’s went up 9 days ago.

During the later part of September, Cuban went on Brian Tyler Cohen’s YouTube channel and ranted against Trump, attempting to roast the former president concerning his personal character. The billionaire investor justified his comments by citing his lengthy relationship with the 45th president, Mediaite reported.

“That’s the ‘Roy Cohn School of Management.’ Right. You demonize and demonize and demonize and give credit to nobody else,” Cuban stated at the beginning of his criticisms of the former president, citing Trump’s mentor.

“And that is the antithesis of good leadership. That’s the antithesis of good character. That’s the antithesis of being ethical. That’s who Donald Trump is. I’ve known him for 25 years. I’m never going to say we were best friends, but he is the most unethical… Lacks character, dishonest person I’ve ever done business with or worked with,” Cuban explained to Cohen.

“Why does that matter, though? Like people are going to look at that and say, I don’t care he’s an a**hole,” Tyler Cohen asked the star of Shark Tank.

“Character is destiny, right? You don’t know the one thing about the presidency of the United States. You don’t know what’s coming next. The past is no predictor of the future. You have no idea what the next problem is you have to deal with on a small or large basis, like Covid, for that matter. Right? And you want somebody who has character because that has empathy, that has a willingness to learn and understand,” Cuban elaborated during the interview. “And you want somebody that is ethical when it comes to making difficult decisions. I can’t even imagine why people consider Donald Trump because of his lack of character and ethics. Because when that tough time comes to make a decision, he’s only going to listen to himself. And we’ve seen how that works out. We saw that worked on the debate. Right? If he’s not gonna listen to anybody for a debate.”

He then said, “Right. And when he’s trying to convince people to vote for him, when you have 40 or 44 cabinet members disavow him and say you shouldn’t vote for him when you have, you know, former Republican presidents and senators and current senators come out and saying don’t vote for him. That is not a man of character. You know, they would have given him the benefit of the doubt if he, if they believed in his ethics or his character, or that he was honest. And that tells you all you need to know.”

Cuban concluded his disjointed commentary by stating, “You don’t want somebody like that making, dealing with the uncertainty. And as bad as lack of ethics, lack of character, lack of honesty is the fact that he makes no effort to learn anything. This is one of the few human beings on the planet that get dumber in front of our face every single day. It’s not like you can’t think of one thing where says, I think, you know, that’s really smart, right? Or that’s really nuanced or he really understood that topic with some depth. Yeah, not one time. And that’s what’s so maddening and infuriating about the whole thing.”
