I had to laugh my butt off over this. This is the guy Dude has said he would vote for and praised all to much. I will be waiting for Dude's slanted reply since his hero disagrees with Dude on this particular matter.

Mark Cuban: Trump deal with Democrats was really smart
Billionaire Mark Cuban applauded President Trump's efforts to work with Democrats on a short-term increase to the debt ceiling.
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban applauded President Trump for making a deal with Democrats on Hurricane Harvey relief and the debt ceiling.
?It's pure classic Donald Trump. I thought it was really smart,? Cuban told the FOX Business Network?s Neil Cavuto during an exclusive interview on Cavuto: Coast to Coast on Thursday. ?The thing about being a salesperson like President Trump is, you want to keep deals alive. The biggest fear a salesperson has is that a deal would die and so working with somebody, even if it's for a short term, even if it's with the Democrats keeps the deal alive.?
Even though the Dallas Mavericks owner has been one of Trump?s biggest critics, in his opinion, this is a ?first step? in doing something ?for the people.?
?I think he's being who the people elected him to be. He?s being a non-politician, he's not a traditional Republican. He hasn't been a Republican all his life. He?s a dealmaker and that's why he got elected. And so he's trying to get deals done without playing partisan politics,? he said.
Cuban also weighed in on President Trump?s push for a 15% corporate tax rate. Opens a New Window. While he believes the goal is right, Trump?s approach is all wrong.
?I think you have to go to corporate America and I think you have to be hands on? I think you go to corporate America, you just walk your way down the fortune 500s to start and say, ?Look, corporate America CEOs, if I give you a tax cut, will you raise the wages of? the bottom 10% of your employees??? he said. ?If he does that, he's going to get his base and he's going to reach far beyond his base because it's an American-wide problem.?
