Dont care, his ethics and morals are situational, not objective.
Cuban isn’t crossing over to conservatism. He’s mocking Trump supporters for supporting a tax (tariff). And it’s a big lie for him to talk like the Dims would have never thought of implementing tariffs until Trump came along.
He might’ve transitioned but only time will tell if he has converted. He shifts with the winds.
No, I think he is considering running in 2028
“This opens the door for Sales Tax for export licenses on EVERYTHING!”
*************
Not a Mark Cuban fan at all but his point is one that we should be concerned about, which is increasing government influence over business. Trump needs to fix lots of things for sure but he seems to be injecting government deeper into the realm of private enterprise. Its a complex subject, but in general its probably not a door we want to open wider. JMO
“...this brilliant move you guys couldn’t ever pull off !”
What El Marko doesn’t get about politicians, Democrats in particular as well as some Republicans, is that they never want to solve anything unless there are people lined up 50 deep with pitchforks at their doors. They want the ‘issue’ not the solution. If they solved all the issues, they would not be needed any more, ergo make the situations worse then blame the other party.................

Converted? No. Mark Cuban is without conviction. He sits firmly planted on the fence and leans over to whichever side is winning at the moment.
Confucius say, “Man who sit on fence get splinter in backside.”
Whew, from the title, for a moment I thought he became a religious person… 😂 😝
Exactly. Anyone who thinks this deal promotes small government or fiscal responsibility or is good in the long run is a fool.
I’d prefer that the annoying mook remain a lefty/demodummie. He’s the kind of fool I’d be embarrassed to associate with, no matter how rich (and supposedly “smart”) he is.
What is this, from the Onion or something?
“creating a sales tax on 2 of the biggest semi companies in the country !”
Peterbilt and Kenworth? I think it’s kind of unfair to single them out.
Glad there is finally a tax communists don’t love.
It’s not a tax on anyone. It’s a fee on trade for a company. If any company tries to pass on a 50% cost, assuming they are not a monopoly, they’ll go out of business. Tariffs are not the same globally so that alone means another company in another part of the world can quickly find a way to under cut them. On top of that, a tariff while Trump is in office comes fully equipped with Trump pointing a gun at their heads saying things could always get worst for you. On top of that Trump is radically cutting back on regulations and giving ridiculously generous incentives for companies to build within the borders. What are economists not doing? Looking at anything beyond the word tariff. They are completely ignoring, enforcement, incentives and the fact that Trump is President and willing to use the full force of his authority. Would this work the same way if Bush, Biden, Obama, Vance were in power. No. How you use power matters. If Trump has proven anything he has proven that.
You are probably correct in your assessment. Tigers don’t change their stripes, unless they are saved by grace.
