Wayyy past the number of corporate billionaires I'd be comfortable having in politics, and for them to go from lobbying in the background to centre stage is worrying.

A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!
He's not even good at insults anymore. I mean, I never thought he was good at it, but it had a specific style and vibe. I wonder if his idiot followers are even enjoying these anymore.
the dude cheats at golf, driving around in a golf course and waddling four steps to fake whacking a ball... and he criticizes somebody else for being a bad athlete?
Does Trump think of himself as an athlete? Lmao
A fierce athlete, with amazing sportsmanship.
“Mark Cuban is a Loser,” Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post. “Wouldn’t take his phone calls anymore while at the White House, and he went rogue. A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!”
lol even trump's insults are getting worse.
There's zero chance Trump can swing a golf club faster than someone 12 years younger and in much better shape than him. Even so, club speed is pretty far from the most important aspect of golf.
However, the funniest part of that post is that he thinks calling out low club speed is a sick burn to hit someone with that most people can relate to. That's so out of touch he might as well be trying to talk trash by saying Cuban's mansion only has 8 bathrooms in it.
What's even funnier is Cuban can probably invite most people to play Golf and have them accept and be excited for it.
Big words from a guy who can no longer make it through a whole interview without shitting himself
He can’t even make it through any interview period. He’s cancelling them left and right now.
I wonder if Warren Buffett is going to weigh in too? Maybe he's waiting for a louder endorsement than he usually makes, closer to election day.
People are running out of time, early voting is under way in some states.
I voted... like a few weeks ago.
Yeah.
I know hes aging, but its odd that he would sit this election out, out of any election, especially when he can actually influence districts in his state.
I voted today!
"Elon Musk told me it's a good idea to call out Cuban for being a billionaire getting involved in politics. So I'm taking time out of my busy schedule of dodging interviews and swaying to old music so I can follow his advice."
Weird reverse cheeto racoon.
