It’s probably safe to say that Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, won’t be voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 General Election.
Trump is set for a highly anticipated rematch of the 2020 election with Democrat Joe Biden.
Like many Americans, Cuban thought Biden was awful in the first presidential debate with Trump. But that doesn’t mean he’ll cast a ballot for his fellow billionaire in Trump.
Cuban took to Twitter, the social media platform currently marketed as X, to detail his reason.
“His performance was awful. But so was Trump’s. Biden was feeble. Trump couldn’t directly answer a single question and lied with every response,” Cuban tweeted. “The question is what features voters believe make a better POTUS : Feeble, Capable and Ethical vs Vigorous, Unethical and Incapable of telling the truth. I’ll vote ethical every time.”
Cuban reasoned that Biden lacked “the energy” required to debate someone like Trump, who has an infamous and storied history of pushing the boundaries of truth.
“The reality is Joe wasn’t capable last night of debating someone who only lies. He doesn’t have the energy or ability to shout him down, hold him accountable and laugh at Trump’s responses. Joe could have held his own against a candidate that actually can discuss policy. But that wasn’t the challenge last night and Joe wasn’t prepared or capable of dealing with Donald and his style.”
