Mark Cuban Says Trump Hates Women?

Businessman Mark Cuban recently critiqued former President Trump on ABC's "The View," suggesting that Trump tends to avoid surrounding himself with "strong, intelligent" women because he dislikes being challenged by them. According to Cuban, Trump’s preference is evident as he is rarely seen with formidable female figures, implying that such presences intimidate him.

Cuban, who has been actively supporting Vice President Harris's campaign, used former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley as an example of a strong female leader not associated with Trump. Haley herself has been vocal about the Republican Party's need to improve its messaging towards women and Latino communities. She highlighted the adverse reactions to insensitive jokes made at a Trump rally in New York City, stressing the importance of respectful communication.

Haley's remarks underscore the broader issues within the party's approach to communication, noting the often edgy and masculine rhetoric that could alienate female voters. Despite her influential role, Haley indicated that she had not been campaigning for Trump and mentioned that her support had not been sought by the Republican presidential nominee for this election cycle. Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee expressed openness to her involvement on the campaign trail.

The discussion on "The View" further evolved as host Joy Behar brought up Stormy Daniels as an example of a smart woman associated with Trump, to which Whoopi Goldberg clarified that Cuban's comments were directed towards the type of women Trump typically showcases in public appearances.

This conversation occurs against the backdrop of a CBS News/YouGov survey indicating a gender split in electoral support, with Vice President Harris drawing significant backing from women, while Trump's support predominantly comes from men. This demographic detail adds another layer to the ongoing discussion about gender dynamics within political support bases.
