Mark Cuban offers Donald Trump $10 million for policy interview

[Draz]

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban offered Donald Trump an unusual deal on Friday: $10 million in exchange for a four-hour interview.

In a series of tweets, Cuban initially said Trump could have the money go to the charity of his choice. But he subsequently suggested that the GOP nominee, who says he’s worth more than $10 billion, could actually use the money.

“I’ll add an option. If you need it, I’ll write you the check and you can keep the money rather than give it to charity,” he jabbed.

Cuban also listed a few terms for the interview, including that it would only be about Trump’s policy proposals and that no one besides a broadcast crew would join them in the room.

“I know Mark. And the problem with Mark, he’s not smart enough to understand what we’re doing. He’s really not smart enough, in my opinion, to understand what’s going on,” Trump said. “I’ve known him for a long time. He tweets me all the time. He sends me so many tweets.”

Cuban and Trump have had an on-again, off-again relationship over the years. They used to trash each other on Twitter, but Cuban warmed to Trump at the start of the campaign and even said he would consider being the GOP nominee’s vice president. Trump held a rally last summer in the Mavericks’ arena.
But things have clearly soured since then.

Cuban is desperate and shook.

He's also probably jelly that he didn't think of running for office first.

[Trollsmasher]

man, Cuban is really desperate about getting some attention from Trump

the word on the street is that he begged him to make him a VP in May, but Trump wouldn't even meet with him

Cuban has been butthurt ever since

[UK2K]

:oldlol:

Cool. What's Trump got to gain? He's already surging in the polls.

He should offer that money to Clinton in exchange for the emails she was ordered to turn over but never did.

Figured Democrats would want him to donate that money to the homeless anyway?.

Dirk would have 1-2 rings more with a competent Owner/GM.

How could Trump turn down a cool $10mill to charity? To talk about what he plans to do no less, should be easy enough.

You'd have to be one evil individual to turn that down...

Probably because Trump is trying to squeeze him for 20 million to charity.

A guy like Cuban only giving 10?:biggums:

It's an obvious trap. Only a dumbass like you would think it's a good idea.

The founder of LinkedIn also offered a $5 million donation to charity if the Donald would release his tax returns.

$15 million to help find cures, feed babies, etc

And all the Donald has to do is do what HRC and every other candidate has done for 4+ decades and have a little sit down to flesh out his policies.

Why not do that just to do it?

U no care about charity?

Trump is so shook..."my taxes are 12,000,000,000,000,000,000 pages! You'd never understand them!" :oldlol:

Wow Mark Cuban is melting down right now

I'm like 99% sure Cuban and the LinkedIn dude give millions to charity as it is. But this donation is specifically earmarked for efforts to get the man who wants to be leader of the Free World to show the skeletons in his closet and provide details on his nonsense.

Seems like a fair trade off to me. I mean, everything the Donald does business-wise is on the up and up and he has actual fleshed out policies, yes? :confusedshrug:

[Nick Young]

Why don't Cuban and Linkedin just donate the money irregardless of if Trump shows up? Do they actually care about helping children, or are they just trying to virtue signal for the sheep?

I am sure if someone like bill orielly offered hillary $10 million for a 4 hour unscripted interview she would be all over that :rolleyes:

He is. He has been giving policy speeches for weeks now. That is why he's been surging in the polls. Everything is clearly outlined on his website.

It's not our fault you aren't paying attention to reality around you.

He already did it for free.

He gave a great Economic policy speech.

How stupid is someone to pay $10 million to have it explained to them. I will gladly explain free of charge.

lol, break please down his "economic policy" for us all then...is that the one where he hires is son/daughter to figure everything out?

I'd for once like a presidential candidate to be honest enough to say "we're not going to do anything. the economy is a matter for the people, not the government. we're going to get the hell out of the way".

So they'd rather sit on that money to give to Trump but won't donate it to charity otherwise?

That's not very charitable.

Did you see where the city of NY donated $120m to the DNC in 2012? That's a lot of meals for the homeless.

I'm still searching for Clinton's economic policy.

She has ran a policy free platform for too long now. The people want to know. Plus, she's insulting the intelligence of her voters.

She told them a frog did it and she expects them vote for her no matter what.

Right, because the government had nothing to do with trashing the economy :rolleyes:

No, the bimbo dicker himself, Bill Clinton, made it law to force banks to give mortgages to people with bad credit because.... discrimination or something. Shockingly, this ended up crashing the housing market.

Cuban is naively doing Trump a solid kicking up more media attention for Trump like this. What, Trump is supposed to humor some politically completely irrelevant, rich asshole because he offers a few million? Nobody with an ounce of sense thinks it's a good idea for Trump to take him up on that at this stage of the campaign, but it is more free press and makes Trump look like a strong character.

He's out there campaigning and trying to win an election, he doesn't have time to be a good little boy to Cuban, who really seems to be simply jealous at this point.

That's without mentioning that a huge part of Trump's platform is that he's not corrupt and can't be bought. Which would make it at least twice as idiotic to take Cuban up on this offer.

You guys are getting desperate as hell :oldlol:


trump is surging in the polls and you guys are trying to spring traps on the Donald.


He shouldn't and he doesn't have to. Just like the ads on TV asking you to donate money to starving kids, ITS YOUR CHOICE.

Cuban has a point , but no nominee ever point blank told their 100% outline what they would do ... that's called hanging yourself.

The point is that Trump refuse to share information that every other presidential candidate have released for 30+ years

How this flew over your head is impressive


Especially the LinkedIn offer. Why would Trump say no to that?


Look like a strong character? More like it looks like he has something to hide

Trump obviously releases the information he wants to release on his own accord. You can argue it isn't all you want it to be and that's fair. You can argue it's incomplete. He definitely has stuff to hide (and Hillary has 100x as much to hide. They are both crooks and virtually every top politician in US history is a crook).

Trump changing how Trump wants to run his election because some billionaires are offering him a pittance to do so is still the wrong move in every way.

Donald Trump bucking tradition. How liberal and progressive of him. Shouldn't he be praised by the left wing?

Trump is obviously concealing something major. It is sad because I thought we had a shot for awhile. This is Trump's death blow.

Holding back key info isn't liberal.

If he just decided to stop talking completely would that be liberal?

All his rallies just detail Hillary... They don't detail his plans as president

Cause he had no plans, he has ideas, and all his ideas suck

Hillary doing the same thing bruh.

It's not necessarily key info as it has no relevancy to what he will do as president. Clinton voters and the media keep trying to make it as a key info as an attack against Trump but educated peeps know better.

[iamgine]

I thought his plans are in his website?

All of hill's policies are detailed on her web site. Trump's are detailed no where. All he details is Hillary. It's an effort to avoid the fact he had no clue how to be president, he's never held office of any type, being POTUS would be his first time. He's a fraud, and his followers are really just Hillary haters.

Vice News has filed a lawsuit to get info about the supposed audits from the IRS. They were able to successfully sue to get tens of thousands of Clinton emails released during this cycle.


Vice News Investigative Reporter Sues IRS for Donald Trump’s Tax Audits


“We believe this can be done,” Jason Leopold, who successfully sued for the release of 30,000 Hillary Clinton emails earlier this year, tells TheWrap


Vice News is suing the IRS to get Donald Trump’s tax returns audits.

On Monday, the site filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., demanding that the IRS turn over all audits of Trump’s tax returns from 2002 onward.

“Trump has said repeatedly that he would love to turn over his taxes, but can’t because they are under audit,” the news site argues in the lawsuit obtained by TheWrap. “The official website for Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign contains a letter from Mr. Trump’s personal tax counsel indicating that the IRS has and continues to audit his individual income tax returns.”

But the site, like many of Trump’s critics, isn’t buying. Critics argue that Trump’s excuse is highly-convenient considering the IRS is prohibited under the law from commenting on audits. Meanwhile, Trump has refused to release any proof that he’s under an audit. (When asked by CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on Tuesday whether Trump might release anything from the IRS proving that he’s under audit,” Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway responded: “Are you calling him a liar?” But never actually answered the question).

“We would not be filing a lawsuit that would be frivolous,” Vice investigative reporter Jason Leopold, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, told TheWrap “We believe this can be done.”


While Leopold declined to elaborate on his exact strategy, it’s interesting to note that the complaint quotes IRS Commissioner Koskinen saying it’s “rare” for an individual to be audited year after year, as Trump has repeatedly claimed.

Perhaps Vice is banking on the idea that the IRS would not be making such a declarative statement if it was auditing Trump year after year.

Both the IRS and tax experts have said there is nothing to stop Trump from releasing his tax returns, something every Republican presidential candidate has done since Richard Nixon … who incidentally was under IRS audit at the time.

But Trump insists his lawyers have advised him not to release them because it might tip off auditors to look into specific areas of his returns.

Making matters even stickier … The last time Trump’s returns were made public, he paid $0 in income taxes.

Leopold, who successfully sued for the release of 30,000 Hillary Clinton emails earlier this year, is also suing the FBI to see if the government has been investigating Trump for suggesting Second Amendment advocates could stop Hillary Clinton, a remark that was interpreted by many as threat of violence, as well as Trump’s recent comments inciting the Russian government to hack into Clinton’s emails.

“We know that the Secret Service said it was looking into it,” Leopold said. “We want any relevant documents.”

Again, even a standard response from the FBI saying it can’t comment on a pending investigation would tell Vice and other reporters there is an on-going investigation, which in itself would be newsworthy.

While there is no guarantee either of these lawsuits will work, Vice says its confident they will be successful.

“Would it be a game-changer? I don’t know,” Leopold said. “But it could prove that he’s been telling the public a flat-out lie.”
