As Court Jester? Mark Cuban Says He'd Be Willing To Work In Trump Administration 'If Asked'

Posted • October 22, 2024: One of the problems that plagued the first Trump administration was that Donald Trump often surrounded himself with people who did not want to see him succeed, to put it mildly. This was, in fact, one of the primary criticisms aimed at Trump from other conservatives during the 2024 Republican primary. While Trump still sailed to a win in that primary despite this legitimate concern, we sure hope it is a lesson Trump has learned should he be elected for a second term in November.

What that tweet doesn't capture is the mocking tone Cuban took when even saying the words 'America First.' The video below shows that he can't even bring himself to say that with a straight face. Notice the derisive laugh there? And did he really just say, 'I am what's best for this country'? Cuban is more suited to hanging out with David Hogg and Joe Scarborough than having ANY role in a second Trump presidency.

No, someone who embraces DEI like Cuban has no place within a country mile of a Trump White House. (…)
