Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban took to social media on Friday to clarify comments he made about former President Donald Trump during an appearance on “The View.”
Cuban apologized after claiming that Trump is “never around strong, intelligent women,” a comment that quickly drew backlash from Trump’s supporters and the former president. Speaking on “The View,” Cuban suggested Trump’s distance from Nikki Haley stemmed from his discomfort with women of intellect, following Haley’s critique of Trump’s campaign focus on “bromance and masculinity” over messaging that resonates with female voters.
“When I said this during the interview, I didn’t get it out exactly the way I thought I did. So I apologize to anyone who felt slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it wasn’t about trump voters, supporters or employees. Current or former,” Cuban wrote on X. “And, I set myself up for the 6 sec soundbite. No excuses. Can’t nail every interview. My skin is thick enough.”
