Billionaire Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner and star of the hit TV show "Shark Tank," has penned what he calls a two-minute guide to understanding presidential contender and fellow billionaire Donald J. Trump.
The most important thing to understand about Trump? He's a "killer," says Cuban.
"Donald fashioned himself a killer of political correctness. A killer of politics as usual. A killer of those, both real and imagined, who would threaten American’s future," Cuban
wrote in The Dallas Morning News.
"If you are not a killer, he doesn’t respect you. If you are a smart killer, you have used knowledge, effort and something that makes you special to accomplish what most dream of," Cuban explained. "He does not think any of the other candidates in either party is a killer. Which is why he has no trouble criticizing them."
In regard to career politicians from Jeb Bush to Ted Cruz, Cuban explains that Trump has them more than figured out: "He knows the best most [politicians] can do is talk about their political accomplishments which no potential voter that is paying attention now respects."
In regard to the other outsider candidates who've never held office, Cuban explained that Trump is certainly not afraid of Carly Fiorina or Ben Carson. "They have not had enough personal finance success" to be considered a threat, wrote the billionaire.
Cuban advises clueless media types and other people who don’t understand Trump's appeal to "pay attention to how DJT says things more than what he says."
"Donald Trump has changed politics. We want to vote for a killer of those who threaten our future . . . I think even those who hate him now, when the number of candidates thin, may come around and realize that he may be a better alternative and vote for him, even if they don’t like him," Cuban predicts.
Despite the strong endorsement, Cuban ultimately concludes that it is "Way too early to decide" if he'll vote for Trump.
"He is lucky I am not running. I would toy with him," Cuban wrote, adding a smiley-face emoticon.
