Billionaire Mark Cuban on Sunday called President Donald Trump the "Zoolander president," but also said he sees some values in Trump's economic policies, NBC News reports

"The economic policies of his that are pretty much traditionally conservative I like.... But in terms of him personally, he's the Zoolander president," Cuban said to a group at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas.

Cuban has criticized Trump before, and the two have gone back and forth on social media with digs at one another. Trump in mid-February lashed out at Cuban, saying he wasn't "smart enough to run for president," criticism that came after a report in the New York Post claimed "Trump is obsessed with running for re-election" and the "White House’s 'biggest fear' is that Cuban, a billionaire businessman, would run because he can appeal to Republicans and independents," according to sources. 

Cuban on Sunday said he stopped supporting Trump after he got to know him. He also railed on him for not knowing how to use email or Google.  

"His idea of efficiency is I would send him emails, his assistant would print it, he would write on it, and he would scan it," Cuban said. "He doesn't know how to use email." 

He added: "Just think how efficient he could be if he learned how to use a search engine."
