Mark Cuban says Trump will 'never' be seen with 'intelligent women' – sparking outrage

Topline

Billionaire Mark Cuban said Thursday that former President Donald Trump is “never” seen around “strong, intelligent women,” sparking a swift backlash from Trump's campaign and his allies – as Trump's own comments about how he would “protect” women, drawing criticism from Vice President Kamala Harris.

Important facts

Cuban, who supports Harris, said, “You never see him around strong, intelligent women, that's simple, they're intimidating to him,” during an appearance on ABC's “The View,” adding adding: “He doesn't like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him out on his nonsense about reproductive rights and the way he sees, treats and talks about women.”

Host Joy Behar, a frequent Trump critic, immediately denied the remark, telling Cuban, “I don't think that's 100%” and calling Stormy Daniels “very smart” — a veiled insult to Trump, the one Daniels was accused of having an affair in the early 2000s.

Trump's female allies immediately seized on the remark, posting videos calling the comments “misogyny by definition,” and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., touted her professional and academic accolades in a video of her training She also claimed, without evidence, that the Cuban woman “suffered from low testosterone levels.”

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement posted on

The Cuban, a Trump friend-turned-enemy, made the comments as Harris and her allies denounced Trump's vow on Wednesday to “protect” women whether they “want it or not,” a statement that Harris told MSNBC on Thursday was “very offensive.” for women because they do not understand their agency, their authority, their right and their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.”

Haley, Trump's last remaining competitor in the GOP primary, has campaigned for Trump but has not appeared alongside him at any events. She recently joined criticism of Trump's Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe was widely rebuked for calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash.” Haley told Fox News the rally was “overly male” and also condemned a now-deleted video that read “communist.” Haley said, “That's not the way to win women. That's not the way to win people who are worried about Trump's style.”

Important background

Cuban has focused on promoting Harris' economic policies while campaigning on her behalf. He has disputed the Trump campaign's narrative that the Biden-Harris administration is to blame for inflation, endorsed Harris' promise not to raise taxes on people earning less than $400,000 and rejected suggestions , that Harris would implement President Joe Biden's proposal to tax unrealized capital gains (somewhat). She has not yet commented on this). Cuban, a self-described independent who once supported Trump's political ambitions before breaking with him before the 2016 election, frequently clashes with Trump. In a recent interview with Fox Business, he accused Trump of being “divisive” and “denigrating,” saying he broke with the former president because he lacked “depth” and nuance when it comes to politics . Trump, meanwhile, called the Cuban a “loser” and a “weak and pathetic tyrant” in a Truth Social post earlier this month in which he criticized Cuba's golf game and claimed the billionaires had fallen out over Trump stopping his calls to the White House received house.
