Mark Cuban Tell Tucker Carlson Why He Wants to Challenge Trump in 2020

Should the next president of the United States judge people like the hosts of ABC’s “Shark Tank” commonly do?

That’s what Fox’s Tucker Carlson was likely wondering when he invited the show’s star Mark Cuban — billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team, among other businesses — to answer a few political questions, based on the rumor that Cuban might run against Donald Trump for the Republican nomination for president in 2020.

Cuban became wealthy by dint of almost perfect financial timing — he sold web startup Broadcast.com to Yahoo about a year before the bottom fell out of the Internet stock boom in the late 1990s. Since them, Cuban’s managed to stay in the media spotlight due to his ownership of the Mavericks and several other high-profile and technology businesses like HDNet, Magnolia Pictures and IceRocket.

Cuban clearly enjoys attention in the press and was no stranger to insulting Trump when Trump was one of at least a dozen Republican presidential candidates in 2016.

“You know what we call a person like [Trump] in Pittsburgh?” asked Cuban rhetorically at one point. “A jagoff… Is there any bigger jagoff in the world than Donald Trump?” Cuban also claimed that, if he was running for president in 2016, he would have easily beaten both Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. In addition, Cuban speculated about running for Speaker of the House of Representatives (the Speaker does not need to be a sitting member of Congress).

But whether Cuban actually wants to run for any office or just shoot his mouth off is an excellent question. In this brief interview, Cuban certainly talks like a candidate — albeit not the most compelling one a voter could imagine. Watch, and judge for yourself if you think Cuban has what’s necessary to go up against Trump in the nation’s next presidential race!
