Mark Cuban’s Shift from Trump Supporter to Kamala Harris Endorser
- Mark Cuban has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, emphasizing he used to be in favor of Donald Trump.
- The “Shark Tank” entrepreneur admitted to being a former supporter of Trump’s before changing his stance upon further evaluation of Trump’s ethics.
- Cuban criticized Trump’s flawed history in both business and politics during an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy.
Mark Cuban has made it abundantly clear that he will not cast his vote for the former president this November. However, the “Shark Tank” personality disclosed that there was a time when he considered himself supportive of Donald Trump, reflecting on how much perceptions can change over time.
A Disillusioned Supporter
“I originally supported Donald; I thought he was unique—not just another cookie-cutter politician. That felt refreshing,” Cuban shared in a conversation with Vivek Ramaswamy. Their interview was released on social media platforms X and YouTube recently. Initially attracted by Trump’s outsider status, which seemed promising for disrupting traditional political norms, Cuban later became disenchanted as he delved deeper into Trump’s record.
“My enthusiasm waned as I examined his business dealings and political conduct more closely,” added Cuban. He noted that aspects like the controversies surrounding Trump University were red flags: “The fraud claims against him were alarming—Trump eventually settled those lawsuits for $25 million.” This exemplifies how quickly perceptions can shift based on emerging information regarding someone’s character and actions.
Deep-seated Concerns Regarding Ethics
Cuban also pointed out issues related to the luxury property “Trump SoHo,” which has since rebranded itself as “The Dominick.” He recounted not only its shady financial associations but also incidents such as tragic accidents connected to construction at the site. These developments contributed heavily to Cubans growing skepticism about Trump’s integrity in handling business ventures properly.
Additionally, references were made about Mike Pence’s complicated relationship with Trump after following through on certifying the results from the 2020 election—a move that angered many shouldered by Trump’s camp. According to Cuban: “Even back then—and now—ethics have not been part of who he is.” This remark underscores ongoing concerns related to ethical governance among contemporary leaders and draws attention even among previously supportive figures like himself.
A Public Endorsement for Change
This isn’t new territory for Mark Cuban; he’s been vocal before about his discontentment towards what he perceives as unethical behavior displayed by Trump throughout their association. Earlier this year, during an interview revealing more insights into current dynamics within government leadership while mentioning Biden/Harris pair promotions: “I would pick them over Trump every single time,” illustrating staunch opposition against what he describes as dubious promotional tactics practiced by previous campaigns helmed under Trump’s administration—comments reiterated thusly yet again here pertinent interviews witnessed alongside Ramaswamy’s conversation piece started catching some democratic strangles fights off our ‘snake-oil salesman’ president yesterday too!
