Former President Donald Trump on Saturday railroaded versus fellow billionaire Mark Cuban, that has actually been strongly marketing for his Democratic challenger, Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Mark Cuban is a Loser,” Trump composed in a Saturday Truth Social message. “Wouldn’t take his phone calls anymore while at the White House, and he went rogue. A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!”
Trump’s disrespects come numerous days after Cuban buffooned the Republican governmental candidate’s toll propositions at a Harris project rally.
“Let me just tell you, this man has so little understanding of tariffs, he thinks that China pays for them,” Cuban claimed of Trump at a Harris rally in Wisconsin onThursday
Trump has actually recommended a 20% global toll on all imports and an also greater 60% price for Chinese imports. The strategy has actually run the gauntlet from economic experts, that keep in mind that united state importers and customers would eventually carry the price concern of such a hardline method.
The bitterness in between 2 billionaires is a plain pivot from 2015 when Cuban commended Trump as the “best thing to happen to politics in a long time,” in a “Fox & Friends” meeting.
Trump subsequently thanked him for the kind words.
Cuban wound up supporting previous Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 political election. And in the years considering that, his once-friendly partnership with Trump has just grown up icier.
This political election cycle, Cuban has actually ended up being a normal Harris project surrogate as the vice head of state functions to mount herself as a pro-growth plutocrat.
The previous “Shark Tank” host can have his views on a federal government placement of his very own, consistently drifting the concept of changing Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, for instance.
Meanwhile, Trump has actually gotten Elon Musk as his very own mega-billionaire project surrogate, sustaining an additional competition withCuban
“You can be one of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs literally of the last century and be a f—ing troll at the same time,” Cuban claimed of Musk in a Friday interview on “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
