Donald Trump sent Mark Cuban a sarcastic letter after Cuban's show "The Benefactor" was cancelled. Cuban framed it and keeps it above his desk to motivate himself.

Interesting...

I hope there is more to the story because that’s pretty juvenile...

If you need a really stupid guy with lots of money then Cuban fits the bill.

Trump...he wrote the letter...

There may be a back story I’m not aware of that caused him to write it...

At face value it’s juvenile...

He thinks he could beat Trump? He lost on “Dancing With the Stars”.

Is he even a real Cuban?

Nope. Marco and Ted both have a more solid claim on that.

As for Mark, he'd be Mark Chabenisky, if his grandpa hadn't taken the opportunity to change the family name at Ellis Island while enroute from Mother Russia.

From what I recall, there was a lot of trash talk back and forth between the billionaires. Mark bragged quite a bit about how he was going to crush Trump. Donald is nothing if not a counter-puncher.

If that is the case, the letter makes perfect sense...

I’ve done similar things with rival managers...when they shot their mouths off in company incentives...after I crushed them...

No. He's Cuban in name only.

Actually, he's Russian-Romanian. If his grandpa hadn't changed the family name, he'd be Mark Chabenisky.
