The owner of the Dallas Mavericks explained that he doesn’t pay attention to the outrageous comments Trump has made nor does he care about his actual stance on our country’s issues! Cuban feels like Trump and his highly-publicized campaign has “changed the game of politics.” Find out if he will be voting for The Donald after the jump!
Although they’ve had their share of problems in the past, it seems like Mark Cuban admires the idea of Donald Trump as a candidate for the upcoming Presidential election. Earlier this week, Cuban took to his Cyber Dust messaging app to commend the Republic frontrunner on his campaign. In his post, the Dallas Mavericks owner explains that Trump is “probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time.” He also thinks that Trump deserves a lot of credit.
“I don’t care what his actual positions are,” Cuban wrote. “I don’t care if he says the wrong thing. He says what’s on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years.”
He makes a good point about Trump’s candid and blunt responses to the issues. Although some of his comments have offended a wide range of people from the Hispanic population to war veterans, Cuban credits Trump for proving that people without political backgrounds can indeed run for president.
“Up until Trump announced his candidacy the conventional wisdom was that you had to be a professional politician in order to run,” Cuban wrote. “You had to have a background that was politically scrubbed. In other words smart people who didn’t live perfect lives could never run. Smart people who didn’t want their familiar put under the media spotlight wouldn’t run.”
Trump took to Twitter to thank Cuban for his “nice words.” Do you agree with Mark Cuban? Sound off in the comments! Check out what Trump had to say in the gallery!
