Harris ally Mark Cuban blasts Dems as inept, makes major concession about Trump

Billionaire investor and TV personality Mark Cuban made some surprising admissions over the weekend, acknowledging that Democrats struggle with selling their message while praising President Donald Trump as a master marketer. Speaking at the “Principles First” summit in Washington, D.C., Cuban compared Trump’s marketing skills to those of Paris Hilton and Dennis Rodman, placing the former president at the top of the list.

Cuban, who was a vocal supporter of former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign, revealed that he advised Harris’ team not to offer him messaging advice. He commended Trump for his ability to connect with voters and effectively sell his ideas, pointing out that Democrats often struggle with communicating their policies to moderates and small business owners.

“I learned that Democrats can’t sell worth s—,” Cuban joked, highlighting the party’s tendency to get caught up in minor details. He emphasized that Trump’s success lies in his ability to craft compelling narratives and make people see what they want to see in him.

Despite his praise for Trump’s marketing prowess, Cuban cautioned that effective messaging doesn’t necessarily translate to successful governance. He noted that the former president is still in the “salesmanship stage” and will ultimately be judged on his ability to deliver on his promises.

Cuban’s candid remarks shed light on the challenges facing the Democratic Party when it comes to communication and marketing. As a prominent figure in both business and entertainment, Cuban’s insights offer valuable perspective on the intersection of politics and messaging strategy.
