Mark Cuban Recalls Email From Trump As He Unpacks How He 'Grew Out Of' Being A Fan
HuffPost
The "Shark Tank" billionaire criticized the former president's disinterest in trying to "learn anything."
Billionaire Mark Cuban has shed more light on his reasons for distancing himself from former President Donald Trump.
“I’m not a Trump fan at all,” he said on Wednesday’s episode of the “This Past Weekend” podcast. “Used to be, but then kind of grew out of it.”
When Trump announced his bid for the White House in 2015, Cuban had called his candidacy the “best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time.”
Looking back at that moment on “This Past Weekend,” Cuban recalled how he eventually began to change his mind, citing a remark that Trump made after the “Shark Tank” star criticized him publicly.
“What he would do is, he would write it, and then somebody would scan it, and then they’d email it to me. And so he sent me ‘What happened?’ because he saw a CNN interview where I criticized him. And I literally, I told him, I’m like: ‘You’ve got to start learning the issues, right? You can’t just talk,’” Cuban said.
"I am not going to do that. Maybe I’ll do it a little bit, but probably not," the comedian told CNN's Jake Tapper.
