Former President Donald Trump posted a new meltdown to Truth Social on Thursday, going after billionaire tech and media tycoon Mark Cuban in personal terms.
Cuban, an enthusiastic campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris who has attacked Trump's ideas as a disaster for the economy, struck a nerve with the former president — and with the GOP at large — when he proclaimed in an interview on "The View" that: “You never see [Trump] around strong, intelligent women ever.”
This prompted several pro-Trump women, including Trump campaign co-chair Susie Wiles, to rankle at the implication that none of them are strong or intelligent.
Trump himself was as enraged as any of them.

"Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he's 'hot stuff' but he's absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don't surround myself with strong women," said Trump. "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."
"This guy is such a fool, he's constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly," he continued. "I told him, very pointedly, 'Look Mark, I've got a lot of things to do, I just can't be taking so many pointless calls from you.' In any event, that affected him greatly, because he's a very insecure guy, and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he's unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn't want it, Lyin' Kamala Harris. Also, he's got no clubhead speed!"
"I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a 'baby!'" Trump added. "All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man's statement."
All of this comes shortly after Trump proclaimed at his recent rally that he is going to "protect women ... whether the women like it or not." The Harris campaign seized on this language and tied it to Trump's support for abortion bans and various other policies that limit women's rights.
