Mark Cuban, with his billions and a public persona polished by his NBA team ownership, is discovering the uncomfortable truth that navigating the political waters isn’t quite as simple as running a tech company or managing a basketball franchise. A staunch supporter of Kamala Harris, Cuban’s anti-Trump tirade this week left a sour taste in the mouths of rational voters everywhere. The irony is rich—Cuban slams women voters for supporting the former president, even though he claims to champion women’s empowerment. It’s a classic case of the left eating their own while simultaneously demonstrating why they think every moderate, conservative woman is somehow subpar.
During his guest appearance on “The View,” Cuban attempted to draw comparisons to female voters who prefer Trump, asserting that no strong, independent woman would ever back him. This reckless assertion turned into a PR catastrophe for the Democrats, especially as Election Day looms. Joe Biden added fuel to the fire by dismissing Trump supporters as trash during Kamala’s rally, making a bad situation worse for liberals scrambling to maintain a shred of decency in their messaging.
So far they’ve called us Nazis, Garbage, Deplorable, and Mark Cuban jumped in and said all the women who support Trump are stupid and weak. All of this from the campaign of joy! Oh, so much joy… pic.twitter.com/ngPiKMTXXv

While attempting to clarify his comments—essentially backpedaling faster than a politician caught in a scandal—Cuban made his situation even grimmer. Initially claiming that Trump avoids strong women because they intimidate him, he then mentioned notable women like Nikki Haley who he seems to believe wouldn’t fit into Trump’s “comfort zone.” Cuban’s convoluted reasoning left many wondering if he was accidentally describing the liberal elite themselves, who often appear uncomfortable with any notion of diverse thought, let alone dissenting opinions from women in political spheres.
What Cuban may have failed to realize is that many strong, intelligent women do support Trump. His comments run dangerously close to insulting women like Tulsi Gabbard, combat veteran and former DNC vice chair, by implying that they lack the strength to align with their political beliefs. The backlash was swift and humorous, with social media left to revel in the absurdity of a billionaire claiming he understands women better than they understand themselves. Responses flooded in, questioning Cuban’s ability to tell successful women what they should think or who they should support.
In a party that professes to champion diversity and inclusion, Cuban’s remarks starkly expose the hypocrisy often found within liberal circles. The left loves to prattle about women’s empowerment on one hand, while minimizing the voices of any woman who diverges from their prescribed political opinions on the other. All of this paints a picture of a Democratic Party that believes they own the narrative about women, even if that narrative is painted in shades of disdain for anyone who disagrees. It’s time for Cuban to take a step back, reassess his politics, and remember that strength comes in many forms—even if they happen to be voting for Trump.
