A history of Donald Trump and Mark Cuban’s ‘love-hate relationship’

• Mark Cuban said in 2016 that he has a “love-hate relationship” with Donald Trump.
• The two have traded insults and compliments in the press for years.
• Cuban initially supported Trump’s campaign, but has since become an outspoken critic.

In a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, Mark Cuban described his friendship with Donald Trump as a “love-hate relationship.”

Over the years, the two billionaires have cycled through seeing each other as rivals, business partners, friends, and enemies.

Cuban once supported Trump’s political aspirations, but has since become an outspoken critic and shared what caused him to change his mind.

“I don’t have a problem with Trump the person,” Cuban told Business Insider in an email, adding that Trump, “like anyone, including me, has good and bad traits.”

Cuban continued, “I wouldn’t want to do business with him, but when I’ve been around him he is funny and charming. But that doesn’t qualify him to be President. I didn’t think he did a good job before. I think it would be worse if he got in again.”

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
