Can we stop worshipping that turd Donald Trump now? an entry from The Mark Cuban Weblog

Mark Cuban owns the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. "Mavericks" is a good name for the team and him. Check his bio.



He speaks his mind, and gets in trouble (fined) by the NBA so he started a blog. It is a good read. Sometimes it is about sports, sometimes not.



This entry is about Donald Trump. I slurped part of it here, but it is longer and a really good read.



Thank you Donald - Blog Maverick



"We didnt do any business, but we gave it a shot. That wasnt the educational part of the meeting. It was your office. It was covered, literally, every inch of every wall with pictures and magazine covers of you.



I have been in a lot of offices. I have seen pictures with the president, with family, with various famous people, but the over/under was usually 5 pictures, not 100. At that point in my life I was very well off financially, but I had a lot more paper money from stock in my networth than cash. Our encounters proved to be a reality check for me.



After leaving your office, I promised myself that if I ever got liquid and had an obscene amount of money in the bank, I would make a point not to remind myself and everyone else around me of it every minute of every day. Unlike you.



I guess our definition of success is just completely different.



I used to wear a suit to work every day. I worked hard so I wouldnt have to. I bought a big house so i could throw a football and play whiffleball in it, rather than show it off. I dont play golf, I work out. I dont have an entourage, I have friends. You talk about how much you are getting paid per episode, I talk about the fact Im not. You need to make more, to me billions are enough. But those are little things.



Where we are 180 degrees is how we deal with business partners. You talk about how your problem casinos are just 1 pct of your networth. I would feel like shit if I had a failing business with partners that were going to lose money and would talk about what it meant to my partners networth, not my own. Heck, I wont even let friends invest in any of my companies until Im certain they will make it. How in the world can you pay yourself while shareholders take a beating ?"



Ya, what he said.
