Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban stirred controversy this week after suggesting that strong, intelligent women are notably absent from former President Donald Trump’s inner circle, a statement that quickly drew responses from prominent Trump supporters, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Cuban, who is actively campaigning for Kamala Harris, made his comments in an interview, stating, “You never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.”

Cuban’s comments were intended to target Trump, but instead, they prompted backlash from women who support the former president and see themselves as both strong and intelligent.

Greene was among those to respond directly, sharing her thoughts on social media. “Here’s the problem with Mark Cuban. He suffers from low testosterone,” Greene said, adding her own jab: “The guy looks just like Rachel Maddow.”

Greene highlighted her background, which includes a business degree from the University of Georgia and her experience running a construction company, as evidence of her own strength and intelligence.

Greene concluded with a statement emphasizing her support for Trump, saying, “I love guns, especially AR-15s, and I support President Trump. Mark, I suggest you get some HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and hit the gym.”

Trump himself joined the fray, responding to Cuban’s remarks with a characteristically blunt critique.

Referring to Cuban as “a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s hot stuff,” Trump added his signature style by mocking Cuban’s golf game, saying, “he’s got no clubhead speed!”

Cuban, a known advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, has previously clashed with prominent conservatives, including tech mogul Elon Musk. Musk, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), publicly criticized Cuban for his support of DEI practices in business, even challenging him to a UFC-style fight earlier this year.

Cuban’s political alignment has shifted over the years. Once a self-described centrist, he was known for his willingness to work across the political aisle.

In fact, before the 2016 election, he openly stated he’d be willing to serve as vice president under either Trump or Hillary Clinton.

However, he has since become a vocal critic of Trump, backing Democratic candidates, including Kamala and Joe Biden.

Cuban recently dismissed concerns over Biden’s cognitive abilities, saying he would vote for the president again, even if Biden “was being given last rites.”

These recent exchanges underscore the polarized nature of the 2024 campaign season, with Cuban’s remarks on Trump’s allies prompting swift responses from conservative figures.

Cuban’s alignment with Harris’s campaign, his support for Biden, and his stance on DEI practices have led to criticisms from high-profile Trump supporters, signaling the ongoing partisan divide as candidates and their supporters gear up for the election.
