NEW DELHI: In a recent post, former U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media to criticize billionaire investor Mark Cuban, who he described as “a really dumb guy” for suggesting Trump does not surround himself with strong women. The two public figures have had disagreements in the past, but Trump’s latest statement intensifies their ongoing rivalry.

 

 

Trump expressed that he actually surrounds himself with “the strongest of women,” adding that he believes “all women are great, whether strong or not.” He called Cuban’s remarks misguided and took issue with Cuban’s frequent television appearances, where he has been critical of Trump and his policies. Trump claimed that during his presidency, Cuban frequently attempted to call him but was turned away. According to Trump, Cuban’s critiques stem from this rejection, as he referred to Cuban as “a very insecure guy” and “a major loser.”

The post also took aim at Cuban’s appearance and demeanor, with Trump saying that “nobody likes him, nobody respects him,” and called him “unattractive both inside and out.” He also suggested that Cuban should shift his focus to discussing Vice President Kamala Harris, sarcastically referring to her as “Lyin’ Kamala,” a nickname he has used for political opponents in the past. Trump’s remarks extended into a critique of Cuban’s knowledge and abilities, remarking that “he’s got no clubhead speed,” likely a reference to Cuban’s lack of prowess in sports or business.

 

Furthermore, Trump expressed his support for women in leadership and influence, saying, “I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the world, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a ‘baby!’” He urged all women to feel insulted by Cuban’s comment, framing the dispute as an issue of respect for women and their accomplishments.

Mark Cuban has yet to publicly respond to Trump’s latest post, and his original remarks on Trump’s circle of influence have not been clarified. The feud has drawn mixed reactions from Trump’s supporters and critics alike, with some defending his stance on supporting women in leadership, while others view the post as a personal attack that deflects from the broader conversation about women’s influence in political and business circles.
