Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban thinks Donald Trump would be a "puppet president" if he is elected in November.
The investor and owner of several business, including the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, told
BuzzFeed News Trump is also a liar.
"From what I see today, I think he would be a puppet president," Cuban said. "He would be so dependent on everyone around him because of his lack of depth of knowledge and fear of failing, that the quality would be completely dependent on two things: One, what stresses does he run into his first year, two, who does he place around him.
"He isn't a problem solver. He will be completely dependent on those around him."
Cuban, however, does like Trump's quality that so many others like: his tendency to speak his mind.
"I love the fact that he wasn't a traditional politician and he shook up politics," Cuban told BuzzFeed. "Hate the fact that he hasn't taken learning what's needed seriously enough, and he appears never to have met a lie he didn't love."
Trump has secured enough delegates to earn the Republican presidential nomination, and he is expected to get the nod at next month's convention in Cleveland.
On Wednesday, Cuban said on a New York City radio show Trump is
"good at real estate," but not so much at "brands for non-real estate products."
