Donald Trump has once again taken to Truth Social to express his disdain for fellow billionaire Mark Cuban, escalating their long-standing feud. In his latest outburst, Trump labeled Cuban a “loser” and boasted about his supposed superior athletic prowess—despite both men being better known for their business acumen than their physical feats.
The feud between Trump and Cuban dates back to 2016, when Cuban publicly called Trump a “jagoff.” Since then, the two have exchanged insults on numerous occasions. However, Trump’s latest attack focused on Cuban’s athleticism, an unexpected and somewhat humorous angle in their ongoing rivalry.
In a Truth Social post over the weekend, Trump mocked Cuban, writing, “Mark Cuban is a loser. Wouldn’t take his phone calls anymore while at the White House, and he went rogue. A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!”
While Trump often finds new ways to insult his opponents, his decision to focus on Cuban’s athletic ability left many scratching their heads. Cuban, after all, is primarily known for his role as the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, a team he has successfully led to an NBA Championship. Cuban has also made efforts to get involved in other sports, including bidding on MLB and NHL teams.
Trump, on the other hand, is known for his love of golf—a sport where he often uses a golf cart, leading some to question his self-proclaimed athleticism. In fact, Trump’s athletic accomplishments seem to pale in comparison to Cuban, who has even taken a few body slams during his appearances on professional wrestling shows.
The real root of Trump’s anger seems to stem from Cuban’s recent remarks on both MSNBC and Real Time with Bill Maher, where Cuban criticized Trump and Elon Musk, claiming that business leaders are hesitant to endorse Trump for fear of retribution. Cuban’s comments appear to have struck a nerve, prompting Trump’s latest tirade on social media.
Cuban, however, has shown no signs of backing down, and his critique of Trump as a petty and vengeful former president continues to resonate with many. Unlike Trump, Cuban’s jabs seem less like projections of insecurity and more like sharp observations.
While Trump’s claim to athletic superiority may not hold much weight, his relentless attacks on Cuban highlight his tendency to deflect criticism by targeting others. Whether or not this latest feud will continue, one thing is clear: Trump’s social media posts remain a battleground for his grievances, with Cuban just the latest to face his wrath.
