Dallas Mavericks minority team owner Mark Cuban stepped on a rake earlier this week when he suggested strong, intelligent women are not a hallmark of Donald Trump’s inner circle.
“You never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said. “It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.”
He says this while actively campaigning for Kamala Harris.
Of course, the insult was meant to be directed at the GOP nominee. Instead, women who actually support Trump took great umbrage. Rightly so.
Do you know who else took issue with it? Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is confident that she falls into both categories – strong and intelligent.
She punctuated the former with a video clip of her banging out some pull-ups. Then, she punctuated the latter by putting Cuban into a headlock and delivering a string of verbal noogies to the dome.
Figuratively, of course. (Don’t want to run afoul with the “misinformation” police).
Mark Cuban says women who support President Trump are weak and unintelligent.

“Here’s the problem with Mark Cuban. He suffers from low testosterone,” Greene said with evidence. “The guy looks just like Rachel Maddow.”
She then delivered some bonafides to back up her claims of success – including a business degree from the University of Georgia and running her own construction company. Not to mention her congressional career.
“I love guns, especially AR-15s, and I support President Trump,” Greene concluded. “Mark, I suggest you get some HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and hit the gym.”
Hello – police? I’d like to report a murder. (Again, fact-checkers, figuratively).
Might we suggest the Elon approach to resolve this dispute? Musk has spent significant chunks of time trashing Cuban on X for his support of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) practices in business. It got so bad at one point that the X CEO challenged him to a UFC-style fight.
Thinking MTG would get some pretty solid odds in that type of matchup.
Greene’s rebuttal to Cuban was solid. But how does it compare to Trump himself? The former President got his usual jabs in, referring to Mark as “a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s hot stuff.”
But, as our colleague Nick Arama points out, he didn’t really get to the good stuff until he unleashed on his golf game, mocking him because “he’s got no clubhead speed!”
What a legend.
Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women – With the understanding that ALL women are…

Cuban was once a reasonable center-of-the-road businessman who wasn’t entirely guided by party politics. He even stirred the political world when he expressed interest in serving as vice-president to either Trump or Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election.
Somewhere along the line, he’s morphed into the love child of Chris Hayes and Liz Cheney, suffering from acute, chronic TDS.
Earlier this year, he indicated President Biden’s cognitive decline was not an issue. In fact, he said he would vote for Biden over Trump in November, even if “he was being given last rites.”
Fortunately, that hasn’t happened. But the Democrats did install a candidate who is, at the very least, brain-dead, and he’s still on board.
