  1. Cuban and Trump, despite their mutual distaste, are two sides of the same coin. Bot are power players driven by ego, each with a different stage but equally hungry for influence. The irony is that both men, while taking shots at each other, are thriving in a system that rewards exactly the kind of transactional, manipulative behavior Cuban is criticizeing.

    yeah, we already knew that. what we don’t know is why Mark Cuban got brunch of Steve Bannon, one of Trump’s most beloved and openly sociopathic accomplices

  3. “So transactional and so devoid of core values” like Mark Cuban and every other billionaire? I don’t like trump either, but Mark Cuban isn’t necessarily the pinnacle of morality himself.

    It’s why people such as Kim Jong IL, Putin, Orban, Akhundzada (actual leader of the Taliban and not a guy named Abdul), and every other dictator in the world loves trump. They know they have to placate him once a year and he’ll roll over for them every time.

  5. John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff said it best, about his experience of Donald Trump:

    >The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.

  6. You can’t manipulate someone who is for sale. 

    Trump is open for business, he wants the action. 

    No trickery needed

    We all knew this… But everyone wanted their tax cut and was riding high of Obama economic coat tails… Reap what you sow… Every single time

  8. Foreign governments know this too. There’s no coincidence he refuses to say anything bad about Putin.

    I love how all of these people say these things about Trump as if they are some sort of revelation.

    Everybody know how stupid, vapid, corrupt, and egotistical Trump is.

  10. This was the joke when Fred died. Trump changed the way Fred had always done business. He was smart and fair and successful. Trump dealt with shady people and didn’t vet products and just ran into so much trouble that he didn’t have to had he just followed his dad’s business model. I’m surprised at the people who don’t know Trump’s reputation was always pretty terrible.

  11. Just flash a few bucks at him and he will give you what you want. When the flow of bucks stop watch out for the bus.
