Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban painted himself into a corner during a Thursday morning appearance on ABC’s “The View,” and his attempt to escape only made things worse.

Cuban, in an effort to portray former President Donald Trump as weak and insecure, instead managed to insult all the women who had ever worked closely with or appeared alongside Trump when he claimed that the former president never surrounded himself with “strong, intelligent women.”

The backlash was swift, prompting Cuban to “clarify” his statement — claiming that he only meant Trump didn’t allow “strong, independent women” to be around him when he might be “challenged publicly” — just hours later.

“Let’s clarify something. This is what I said during a conversation about why Nikki Haley was not active in his campaign,” Cuban posted his explanation via X. “‘Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.'”

“I’m happy to clarify that 1. I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart, strong and intelligent. 2. I know he has worked with strong intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others[.] I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly,” Cuban continued.

“‘Let me clarify something,'” Greg Price posted. “‘I did in fact call all of you women around Donald Trump weak and dumb.'”

“The clarification is … exactly the same as the initial statement, Mark,” OutKick host Tomi Lahren added.

“You explicitly say ‘strong, intelligent women’ don’t hang around Trump, which is a slap in the face to women like Tulsi Gabbard, Ivanka, and others. You sound like Biden when he tried to convince Americans that our eyes and ears are lying to us and he didn’t actually call Trump supporters ‘garbage,'” another said.
