Hard to believe now, but when Trump first announced he was running for President, entrepreneur Mark Cuban (Shark Tank) thought having a businessman leading the country was a good idea.
But quickly, he realized Trump was disastrous for business — and the country.
On MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” the billionaire outlined the reasons he said business leaders should support VP Harris over Trump. He also agreed with Maddow that Trump should be “radioactive” in the business community after, according to the MSNBC host, he spent some of his first term “targeting businesses because of what were perceived to be his political interests.”
He also stated that he believes a second Trump term would be “worse” than his first.
When asked why more business leaders are not speaking up, Cuban said Billionaire investor he thinks business leaders fear “retribution” and “vengeance” from former President Trump and are therefore not criticizing the Republican nominee more in the public arena.
“You don’t hear them condemning him, because they’re worried about his retribution or his vengeance. But, literally, there’s been nobody that I know other than Elon, that has come out in support of him,” he continued.
