Cuban claimed that Trump avoids\u2062 strong, intelligent \u2064women\u2062 because\u2063 he finds them intimidating, suggesting\u200b that this is \u200dwhy Trump does not seek the \u2062support of Nikki Haley, a prominent Trump ally and former UN ambassador. Cuban&#8217;s comments sparked backlash, as he \u200cfailed to acknowledge several women who have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-u-s-senator-and-florida-governor-bob-graham-dies-at-87\/\" title=\"Bob Graham, ex-U.S. Senator and Florida Governor, passes away at 87\">held significant roles<\/a> in Trump&#8217;s administration, including Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway. Following the\u200d criticism, Cuban attempted to clarify \u2062his remarks on social media, stating he \u200cwas only referencing Haley&#8217;s absence in Trump&#8217;s campaign activities. Trump responded on \u2063social media, dismissing Cuban&#8217;s comments as incorrect and asserting that he\u2062 has always surrounded himself with strong women.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Billionaire Trump critic says former president is never around &lsquo;strong, intelligent women&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1870052\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Billionaire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mark-cuban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mark Cuban<\/a> made inflammatory remarks on Thursday during an appearance on &ldquo;The View,&rdquo; demeaning women who are supportive of and allies of former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>.

Ever. It&rsquo;s just that simple,&rdquo; Cuban said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re intimidating to him. He doesn&rsquo;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&rsquo;t have her around. It wouldn&rsquo;t work.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Nikki Haley, whom Cuban mentioned, was &ldquo;around&rdquo; Trump during his term as president when he named her the United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018. In 2023, Haley became Trump&rsquo;s main political rival during the Republican primary; however, she finished a distant second in the overall voting. After the primary, Haley announced her support for Trump in the presidential election. She reiterated her support for him during an appearance on Fox News earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>While commenting to Griffin, the <em>Shark Tank<\/em> host and Dallas Mavericks owner failed to mention women such as Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR), who served as a senior adviser on Trump&rsquo;s 2016 presidential campaign and later as White House press secretary. He also failed to mention Kellyanne Conway, Kayleigh McEnany, former Secretary of Education Betsy Devos, former CIA Director Gina Haspel, and former Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, who served in the Trump administration. Cuban also failed to acknowledge that Trump had more women in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/1974190\/trump-has-more-women-as-top-advisers-than-obama-bush-or-clinton\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/billionaire-trump-critic-says-the-former-president-is-never-around-strong-intelligent-women-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Billionaire Trump critic says the former president is never around \u2018strong, intelligent women\u2019 - Washington Examiner\">top adviser roles<\/a> than the administrations of former presidents Barack Obama, George W.
