Trump Rages at ‘Loser’ Mark Cuban on Truth Social and Claims Cuban Isn’t as Good an Athlete as Trump Is
Tell us how you really feel, Donald.
There’s nothing quite as humorous to me as big, important people “projecting” their own insecurities onto others. You read the headline already, you know where this is going.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump had the mendacity audacity to attack fellow billionaire (but slightly richer) Mark Cuban in an extension of the ongoing feud between the two since Cuban announced Trump was a “jagoff” back in 2016.
What’s so funny about that, you might ask. Trump has feuds with everyone, right?
It’s not so much that Trump found a new way to insult Cuban, although I do admire the work he puts in to coming up with nicknames and focus-grouping epithets for daily use.
Rather, it’s that he decided to go after Cuban’s athletic ability, as though that has anything to do with, well, anything.

On Saturday, Trump settled in for a nice long tweetstorm on Truth Social and fired one off that he was clearly excited about. He posted a clip from Elon Musk that insulted Cuban and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, and his caption made Musk’s already idiotic video even funnier.
“Mark Cuban is a Loser,” said the settles-out-of-court guy. “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!”
Now, at the risk of possibly angering some fans of the “sport” (I’m starting off strong here with the quotation marks), the only “athletic” thing Donald Trump has going for him is golf. And the man uses a golf cart! He’s the Dale Earnhardt of golf cart drivers, if by merit of practice alone.
I’m not actually comparing Trump to Earnhardt, of course. Dale was a bona fide champion, although I’ve also heard it said that NASCAR stands for “non athletic sport centered around rednecks.”
But the only thing more boring than golf on television is golf on the radio. Even the announcers are whispering. You have as much chance elevating your heart rate while swinging a golf club — “clubhead speed” notwithstanding — as you do drying your hand over the little vent thingy at the bowling alley.
The most ironic part of all is that Mark Cuban, aside from being the guy from Shark Tank, is primarily known for his association with sports. He bought the Dallas Mavericks NBA team almost 25 years ago (although they’ve been around for more than 40 years), and within six years took them to their first NBA Final, and their first NBA Championship five years after that.
Mark Cuban is a Loser. 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!

But he’s tried to get involved in major league baseball, too, getting in bidding contests for various franchises. He made a huge investment in the UFL, an American football competitor to the NFL, and even tried to buy his hometown NHL hockey team, the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Heck, even in fake sports, Cuban has been more athletic than Donald Trump. When Trump was associated with professional wrestling, the most he did was pace the ring, throw the fakest mini-punches anyone’s ever seen, and help a wrestler shave Vince McMahon’s head.
Mark Cuban got bodyslammed through a table by a 6-foot-3, 270-pound world champion.
Okay, I’m letting this get away from me. In fact, I shouldn’t know any of that stuff in the first place. But when it comes to projection, that’s where Donald shows his real prowess. He may not be able to walk the first three holes at Bedminster without hopping in his custom EZ-GO golf cart with the built-in laptop and printer so he can read flattering articles about himself, but Trump is straight-up the Michael Phelps of projecting his insecurities onto others.
The beef Trump has with Cuban escalated over the last week, after the investor went on Maddow’s show for an interview where he laid out why he thinks business leaders aren’t endorsing Trump, other than Elon Musk. He says they’re afraid of political payback from the petty ex-prez.
“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,” Cuban said.
He also appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday and took a bunch of digs at both Trump and Donald’s good pal Elon, calling them both idiots.
The difference between Mark Cuban insulting Trump and Trump insulting Cuban, however, is that Mark’s not projecting. He’s observing. Mark Cuban never claimed he was a point guard for the Mavericks. Trump HAS claimed that he’s as good as many professional golfers, if not better.
I’m actually not sure Trump wouldn’t smile and wave if somebody put a gold medal on him inscribed with “World’s Biggest Crybaby.” At least he won, right?
