Cuban: 'I’d rather lose every penny than have Trump as president'
Source: The Hill
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said on Wednesday that he is more concerned about the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency than he is at the prospect of his team losing fans over his support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
When its all said and done, Id rather lose every penny than have Trump as president, because I care more about the future of my family, my children than I do about my pocketbook," he said in an interview on NBC Sports Radios The Newy Scruggs Show. "And if it means we play to empty arenas, Im down with that."
Maybe I pick up some fans. Maybe I lose some fans. I dont know," he continued. "Ive heard it from both. Ive had people say, Theres no way I can support you. I wont go to another Mavs game. And Ive had people say, You know what? Were buying Mavs tickets.' "
Cuban added that his team will not be staying at any Trump hotels while traveling this season.

(35,445 posts)No joke. People don't understand that the value of our assets are in dollars, and those dollars have value because they're the world's reserve currency. If you want to buy oil any where, you have to do it in dollars.
Trump threatens that delicate balance.

But early in the campaign, Cuban appeared to support the real estate mogul, having called him the probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time and suggesting that he was willing to be the Republican nominee's running mate.
It wasnt until late July of this year that Cuban threw his support behind Clinton.
He doesn't have to lose every penny. Where is he right now, that the money is flooding in for the Republicans in every race. Is he willing to give up 10%? 5%. I see no evidence of it.
