That’s a sharp change for the usually outspoken Cuban, who has had no reservations spouting off on Trump in the past.
“Look, personally, I don’t have a problem with the guy,” the billionaire businessman said on the Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast in 2020. “Now, professionally, as the president, I think he’s an idiot. You know, I never thought he was smart in talking to him.”
Cuban shared the same sentiment with CBS News in 2016, during Trump’s first term in office, saying he was getting “stupider” before his eyes.
The former owner of the Dallas Mavericks told Frankel he woke up to the “real” Trump.
“As I started talking to him more about things, I asked him questions about real estate, and he didn’t really understand the financial side of real estate,” Cuban said on the podcast. “It was just clear he wasn’t somebody who learned about anything. That’s where we kind of had our falling out.”
