Donald Trump has lashed out at billionaire Mark Cuban after Cuban suggested that the former president avoids “strong, intelligent women.” This comment comes as Cuban expresses his support for Kamala Harris, igniting a wave of backlash.
Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women – With the understanding that ALL women are…

Cuban’s Critique of Trump
During an appearance on ABC’s The View, Cuban discussed Trump’s difficulties in attracting voters like Nikki Haley, stating, “you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever, it’s very simple, they’re intimidating to him.” He added that Trump “doesn’t like to be challenged by them,” specifically mentioning how Haley would confront Trump on issues related to reproductive rights and his treatment of women.
Trump’s Retort on Social Media
In response, Trump took to X (formerly Twitter) to label Cuban a “really dumb guy” who fancies himself as “hot stuff.” Trump defended himself, asserting, “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.”
Further Attacks on Cuban
Continuing his tirade, Trump criticized Cuban for being overly critical on television, explaining that he had stopped taking Cuban’s calls while in office due to their frequency. “This guy is such a fool… He’s a very insecure guy and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out!” Trump added that Cuban should return to discussing Harris, whom he described as “Lyin’ Kamala Harris.”
Trump’s Closing Remarks
Concluding his comments, Trump emphasized his connections to powerful women, saying, “I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a ‘baby!’ All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement.”
