Mark Cuban issues blistering Trump takedown



Billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban — a stanch Donald Trump critic — issued this week four reasons why he refuses to vote for the former president in November's election.

Cuban's latest criticism of the MAGA hopeful comes after business expert and Yale School of Management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld earlier this week revealed in a New York Times op-ed that Trump has the "lowest level of corporate support" in the Republican party's history.

In his Trump takedown, Cuban was replying to Canadian author and marketing at Concordia University marketing professor Gad Saad, who wrote via X (formerly Twitter):

Me: Why do you hate Trump?

Progressive: He is a threat to democracy.

Me: How?

Progressive: He has yet to relinquish power.

Me: Really? He's still occupying the White House?

Progressive: No, but he's not conceded.

Me: Has Hillary not repeatedly stated that Trump was an illegitimate president?

Progressive: Well yes, but she said the word "conceded."

Me: What else do you not like about him?

Progressive: He is an existential threat.

Me: How? He was president for four years and it turned out ok.

Progressive: Yes, but it's in the second term that he'll show his Hitlerian colors.

Me: What else?

Progressive: He is not fit to be president. He is crazy.

Me: Is Biden fit to be president in terms of his cognitive acuity?

Progressive: It's impossible to converse with you. You are a right-wing extremist.

In response, Cuban replied:

Me: He ripped off thousands of hard working Americans with Trump University, he put vendors out of business and didn't pay his bills

You: But all business people do that

Me: He didn't want to leave the WH. He called the Ga.Sec of State and asked for 11780 votes. He demanded that VP Pence not certify the election.

You: But he did leave!

Me: He said this week any immigrant who graduates from a 2 or 4 yr school gets a green card.

You: That's smart, but there is no way he will do it.

Me: He said he would charge a 10% tariff on all imported goods.

You: Yeah, but China will pay for it

Me: You don't see anything wrong with any of these things ?

You: You have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)

Newsweek notes that "TDS" is "a term that supporters of the former president use to describe individuals who are highly critical of Trump."

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
