RELATED: Mark Cuban’s Trump Women Remark Sparks MAGA Rage: ‘Profoundly Offensive’

Mark Cuban, a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, is being ripped by the Trump campaign after saying the former president is never surrounded by “strong, intelligent women.”

The comments were made during Thursday’s episode of ABC’s The View after co-host and former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin asked the entrepreneur his thoughts on former President Donald Trump not asking ex-South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to help him reach women voters.

“I mean…it will put [Harris] over the edge with Nikki Haley supporters,” Cuban said. “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.”

Cuban added that Haley, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, will challenge Trump “on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women.”

The comment evoked outrage from people close to Trump’s MAGA movement. The former president’s campaign account on X, formerly Twitter, called Cuban’s statement “disgusting,” adding, “They’re now openly attacking the millions of strong, intelligent women fighting alongside President Trump every day to Make America Great Again.”

Trump released his own statement to his Truth Social account, writing that Cuban is “a really dumb guy.”

“Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women – With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong,” Trump said. “This guy is such a fool.”

Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s former White House press secretary, found Cuban’s statement “profoundly offensive.”

“I worked for Donald Trump,” McEnany said during an appearance on Fox News. “I consider myself a strong woman. I consider those around me strong women.”
