Cuban has called him out on all these things in the last three weeks and Zircon Don hasn't said so much as boo to him.
Because folks like Cuban, or a Warren Buffett or the Koch Brothersreal, actual BILLIONAIRES could dime his dumb *ss out in a Cleveland Minute. Real ballers will call out a pretender, and he's on the verge of either getting dimed out surreptitiously as reporters are digging into his finances, or by p*ssed off, actually -monied peers who wish to keep his stench at arm's lengthand who generally hate him for being the uncultured lout who giddily crop-dusts his way through their white-tie and tails events no one seems to know who invited him to.
More from Mark Cuban on Drumpf:
"The best way to describe Donald right now -- and again, I like the guy -- is he's like the guy who will walk into the bar and say anything" to go home with someone, Cuban said.
-------------------------------------
"I know what I'm good at, and I know what I'm not good at. I'm not so sure Donald knows what he's not good at," the 57-year-old said, noting that Trump's skills include licensing his name. "He's good at that. Whether or not that's made him a billionaire, I don't know. He's not transparent enough for us to actually know."
Cuban cited Trump's real estate business as successful, but found little value in his steak ventures: "You're not gonna make big bucks, no matter what," he said of the brand.
"He just doesn't have the ability to say no if someone's going to write him a check," Cuban added. "And I think that's a huge problem."
He also charged that he's wealthier than Trump and said he's willing to bet on it.
"The reason I know is when you file your federal election campaign reports, you have to list all your cash and liquid securities and bonds you have to list them one by one," Cuban said. "So we know without any question that as of May 27, Donald doesn't have more than $165 million in cash and securities and bonds. And trust me, I've got a lot of more than that in cash, securities, and bonds."
So Cuban, who called out Trump's shameless check-chasing
