Mark Cuban has issued an apology following backlash over his comments about former President Donald Trump. During an appearance on ABC’s The View, Cuban stated, “you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever, it’s very simple, they’re intimidating to him,” while discussing Trump’s ability to attract voters like Nikki Haley.
In response to the criticism, Cuban took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify his remarks: “When I said this during the interview, I didn’t get it out exactly the way I thought I did. So I apologize to anyone who felt slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it wasn’t about Trump voters, supporters or employees. Current or former.” He further noted, “I set myself up for the 6 sec soundbite. No excuses. Can’t nail every interview. My skin is thick enough.”
Cuban expressed frustration over the nature of the comments directed at him, stating, “What bothers me though is that so many of the comments or media, in support of, or against me, has some level of insult attached to it. Not just here. But everywhere.” He added a lighthearted note about the AI memes featuring him with long hair, saying, “So there is a positive!”
In the wake of Cuban’s remarks, Trump fired back on X, calling Cuban “a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s ‘hot stuff’ but he’s absolutely nothing.” Trump claimed, “Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women – With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong.” He described Cuban as “such a fool,” labeling him “a very insecure guy, and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be!”
