Mark Cuban, the minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has been known for his vocal opposition to former President Trump. However, in a surprising revelation, Cuban admitted to supporting Trump in 2015 when he initially launched his first presidential campaign.
During an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy, Cuban explained that he found Trump appealing in 2015 because he was not a typical political candidate. Cuban thought that Trump’s outsider status could shake up traditional politics, which he was not a fan of. He even went as far as to consider being Trump’s running mate in the 2016 election.
Cuban praised Trump for speaking his mind and giving honest answers, qualities that he believed were lacking in other candidates at the time. However, as the 2016 election progressed, Cuban’s opinion of Trump changed. He began to see Trump as unethical and was critical of his actions, especially his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Despite his initial support for Trump in 2015, Cuban ultimately endorsed Trump’s opponents, including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. He has been a vocal critic of Trump ever since, citing ethical concerns as the main reason for his opposition.
In a recent interview, Cuban stated that he would vote for Biden over Trump even if Biden was on his deathbed. This shift in Cuban’s stance reflects his evolving views on Trump and the presidency.
While Cuban’s support for Trump in 2015 may come as a surprise to some, his subsequent criticism of the former president highlights the complexities of political alliances and personal beliefs. Cuban’s journey from Trump supporter to vocal opponent offers insight into the changing dynamics of American politics and the importance of ethical leadership.
