Isn't it strange he views Cuban like the person your spouse committed adultery with ?

(58,647 posts)You know, the rich folks club. Cuban reminds him he's not, really, and went public with it. Trump expects his "fellow rich assholes" to support him and cover for him.
Cuban did the one thing that Trump hates the most, Cuban laughed at him and called him a punk in public. Or, if you like, Cuban told the truth about him. The worst thing you can do to a liar is tell the truth about him.

(63,221 posts)And that is what this is all about. His revenge against those who have rejected him. He thinks he's going to show them.

(4,033 posts)Cuban grew up in Mt. Lebanon (suburb about 4 miles from downtown Pittsburgh) & jagoff was a term he learned here, it means "asshole".
It is one of the first terms you could use as a kid and not get in trouble for swearing.

(7,299 posts)Don't be fooled, his support of Hillary has more to do with Trump getting the attention that Cuban thinks should be his. I was actually disgusted to hear the Cuban scored a front row seat and absolutely flummoxed that DU posters cheer on his unfair access. Now Trump responds with Flowers. This isn't the three ring circus that Trump and Cuban are treating it as. The stakes are too damn high for this sophomoric crap IMO. JUST SAYING.......

(13,493 posts)I'm not a huge Mark Cuban fan, either. But I much prefer him to Donald. I don't mind that he's publicly razzing Donald, either. But the debate thing has become, as you said, a circus. Politics are a joke.

(17,111 posts)He has been questioning Trump's wealth for a long time. He has repeatedly called him out on it.
Last week, Cuban offered 10M to charity if Trump would appear with him and explain his policy positions.
From what I've read, he views Trump with great disdain and he fears what will happen if he ever became president. I'm not sure he loves everything HRC does, but he knows she is better that Donald of Orange.
Somebody upthread tried to equate Trump and Cuban. They are not in the same universe. Trump is an excellent con man who knows how to sell himself but little substance. Cuban is well-versed in many areas. In addition, Cuban will listen to people to understand problems and Trump considers himself an expert on everything. I have not agreed with everything Cuban has said over the years and he is no saint. However, he is light-years beyond Trump.
