Mark Cuban: Donald Trump's billions might not be real
Fox Spotrts Digital's Yardbarker ^ | July 21, 2015 | Larry Brown

Mark Cuban has had beef with Donald Trump for a while, and he decided to reignite his issues with the businessman once again.

In some thoughts shared on the Cyberdust app for which he is a chief investor, Cuban questioned the legitimacy of Trump’s 2016 presidential bid.

Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks and whose net worth is estimated to be north of $3.5 billion, postured that Trump might not have the funds to make a legitimate push for presidency. His theory is based on the difference between theoretical net worth and actual cash assets.

Here is what he posted:

So who wants me to talk about Donald Trump and his candidacy for President ?

I can’t resisit ! So if you don’t want to read about it, hit those dots in the upper right and mute me

It’s time !

Hey, Dusters, let’s talk Trump. So much to say that it can’t happen in one blast. But the first place to start is his net worth.

He has been bragging that he is worth north of ten billion dollars.

Ok. While’s it’s a big number, it’s not an important number. In fact it’s a play number....

What does real money matter in politics or in the United States?

We play-pretend here in the good old USA.

We throw around Monopoly money to the world and call a he a she and a man and a man husband and wife.

If Trump says he’s a billionaire then he’s a billionaire.

Thems the rules now. :)

Doesn’t sound like an attack on the leftist Trump to me. How much someone is worth “on paper” and how much they are truly worth can be 2 very different things.

poor cuban, always trying to follow in the footsteps of a succesful business mogul who becomes a successful media star. Such a pale carbon copy.

LOL. I reckon you are right. Glo-bull warming is climate change. Bruce Jenner is Caitlyn Jenner, he is a she. Terrorist attacks at our military bases are workplace violence. Yep, thems the new rules - the new normal.

Watch the media whores all rush to interview Cuban just like a panicked school of minnows cornered by a shark.

I'd love to have "Play numbers" like Trumps estimation of his worth....

Hope he keeps twisting our enemies out of shape - it's a rare pleasure he's providing - that said....

Go Cruz!

Hey Mark—I can call you Mark, right—Here’s an idea: Let’s open up the books and have a look at your assets, first.

Glass houses—Stones—You get the picture.

Cuban owns a Gulfstream V while Trump owns a Boeing 757. Guess Trump has the bigger entourage and/or ego.

Mark Cuban: 2011 NBA championship Dallas Mavericks Donald Trump: Owned the New Jersey Generals for two years before they folded. Two first round playoff exits. Trump actually cause the USFL to fold. He convinced the other owners to play the 1986 season in the fall directly opposite the NFL. It was such a failure, they had to cancel the season.

big difference, Trump tried to create something to complete with the existing NFL, Cuban is part of an established league - no competition and too big to fail.

Ok, this is awesome.

Every single time conservative politicians have to come out with their financials, the leftists pick at it, and the politician has to apologize for being a filthy, dirty, rich person. They point out how much they gave to charity and talk about their poor childhood and talk abut how they’re just like us...

Trump came out bellowing, ‘Look how much money I have! Look how successful I am! LOOK AT IT!! I have produced something!’

This completely disarmed the left’s usual tactic of painting a Scarlet Dollar Sign on every wealthy conservative candidate.

NOW the grumbling is, “Oh, he’s not *that* rich...”

This is 180* from business as usual and I love it.

Somebody should stick a “Mohamhead Humps Goats” bumper sticker on his car.
