'I am married to a strong woman': Donald Trump says Mark Cuban is very insecure

Send Push
In a morning Fox & Friends interview Saturday, former president Donald Trump touched upon all the issues that dominated the election news cycle including the Puerto Rico garbage joke and Mark Cuban's attack on him saying that Trump does not surround himself with strong and intelligent women.

"Well, I know Mark Cuban. He is a very insecure guy. Can't hit a golf ball more than 50 yards. He's weak physically and mentally...I have known him for a long time. He would call me in the White House incessantly and finally, I just couldn't take his calls anymore and then he went over the other side. He's a guy that wants publicly. When he said that...you know he totally retracted his statement..." Trump said.

Trump said the list of strong and intelligent women around him is long and he mentioned that he happens to be married to a rather strong woman Melania, who just had a No.1 bestseller book in the whole world. "I have given women chances too. Kellyanne was the head of my 2016 victory. Susie Wiles is strong...I have tremendously strong women," Trump said.

What Mark Cuban said on women and Donald Trump

Shark Tank businessman Mark Cuban apologized for what he said and clarified that his statement was only in the contest of Nikki Haley not being active in Donald Trump's campaign. “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work," Mark Cuban said.

As it was seen as a dig at women around Donald Trump and his voters, Mark Cuban said he knows many strong and intelligent women voting for Trump, including in his extended family. "I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly," Mark Cuban said.
