Quote of the Day: Mark Cuban on Trump the Pickup Artist

Mark Cuban, former Trump supporter, on what he thinks of the guy now:

There’s that guy who’ll walk into the bar and say anything to get laid That’s Donald Trump right now to a T. But it’s all of us who are going to get fucked.

Cuban also wonders why none of Trump’s business partners are speaking at the convention. “They’re not coming forward to speak. They’re not coming forward to give him money.” No they aren’t, are they?

As near as I can tell, no one who does business with Trump wants to repeat the experience. Nor does he have any genuine personal friends. He’s cordial only as long as you’re useful to him. In other words, he’s basically a low-grade sociopath. He just doesn’t care about people except as markers in whatever game he happens to be playing at the moment.
