Mark Cuban has once again displayed a remarkable talent for attracting controversy, this time by taking a jab at women supportive of Donald Trump. As the presidential campaign limps to its conclusion, Cuban declared that one rarely finds “strong, intelligent women” in the vicinity of Trump. Such an assertion brings to mind the age-old adage about people in glass houses and the stones they throw. For a man with his fingers in various successful pies, Cuban’s comments seem woefully misguided and, frankly, just plain wrong.
In yet another unfortunate move for Harris’ fading campaign, Mark Cuban inadvertently rallied the very demographic he aimed to insult. These remarks come on the heels of Joe Biden’s ill-timed comments, where he dismissed half the country as “garbage” (just another day in the life of a Democrat, it seems). Instead of showing solidarity with women, Cuban stepped into the deep end, showing a serious lack of awareness about the women who stood by Trump throughout his presidency.
DISGUSTING: Top Kamala surrogate Mark Cuban says no "strong, intelligent women" support President Trump.
They're now openly attacking the millions of strong, intelligent women fighting alongside President Trump every day to Make America Great Again.

Among those women are notable figures like Kellyanne Conway, Kayleigh McEnaney, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Each of these individuals has not only proven their competence but has also challenged the narrative that conservative women are somehow less intelligent or capable. Cuban’s comments draw attention to his own obliviousness regarding the strength and influence of these women. Instead of empowering or engaging women, he has merely revealed his own biases and misconceptions.
This misguided commentary did not go unnoticed. The backlash came as female Trump supporters and former administration members voiced their disdain for his remarks. Kayleigh McEnaney put Cuban on blast for insulting women supporters, implying that he believes they are incapable of supporting someone so ‘unintelligent.’ The boil over from the conservative camp has been swift, and Cuban now finds himself deep in a credibility crisis with a demographic he likely never meant to offend.
Not to miss out on this opportunity, numerous conservative women in media and politics have struck back, reminding Cuban that the notion of feminism he seems to associate with liberal ideology does not define what it means to be a strong woman. Brooke Rollins pointedly reminded him that the Trump administration had a higher percentage of women in senior staff roles than previous administrations. She concluded her response with a potent jab about the left’s struggles to even define what a woman is. It’s fascinating how the tides turn when the right actually starts to stand up for its principles.
As the dust settles on this latest debacle, one cannot help but consider how the missteps of Kamala Harris and her supporters have turned into a textbook example of how not to campaign. With female voters feeling disrespected by both Biden’s disparagement and Cuban’s sweeping generalizations, it’s no wonder that the Trump base feels more energized than ever. A lesson for the ages: if one wants to insult Trump supporters, it might be wise to remember that among them are indeed many strong and intelligent women. The eagerness with which they are coming to Trump’s defense could very well tip the scales in this pivotal election.
