Mark Cuban’s recent jab at Donald Trump’s relationships with “strong, intelligent women” sparked backlash, with critics quick to point out his own ties to prominent Trump supporters—including his boss, Miriam Adelson, a top Trump donor and powerhouse in Republican politics.
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban stirred controversy on Thursday during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” when he criticized former President Donald Trump’s relationships with women, claiming, “you never see him around strong, intelligent women.” Cuban, a prominent backer of Democrat nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, suggested that Trump is “intimidated” by powerful women who challenge him, adding that such figures like Nikki Haley—who has taken strong stances against Trump on issues like reproductive rights—wouldn’t fit into Trump’s circle.
However, Cuban’s remarks have raised eyebrows given that his boss and the actual owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Miriam Adelson, was one of Trump’s top supporters. Adelson, a billionaire philanthropist and widow of Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson, is well-known as an influential and formidable figure in Republican politics. Many critics saw Cuban’s comments as particularly ironic, noting that he overlooked his own connection to a strong, intelligent Trump ally.
