Mark Cuban tweets thoughts on President Trump and Russia
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban took to Twitter to share his take on President Donald Trump's ties to Russia.
In February, Cubans and Trump were involved in a short war of words after Cuban told CEOs to "be an American citizen first" rather than simply cozying up to Trump. Trump said Cuban was not "smart enough to run for president." Cuban responded on Twitter.
Cuban tweeted the following:
"1) Here is my take on Trump and Russia"
"2) Russians have made him a lot of money buying condos and investing in his bldgs and hosting his beauty pageant.That makes them his friends"
"3) He ignored their backgrounds. But that's not unusual. Starbucks takes anyone's money and so do most businesses including mine."
"4) He spoke favorably about Putin to get his approval for Russians to get $ out of Russia and into Trump deals. He saw it as easy money"
"5) When Manafort was recommended, he didn't vett him. He saw it as a win win. Win the election or open the door for more Russian business"
Trump has tweeted about Cuban nearly 50 times.
