'Guessing this is sarcasm': Mark Cuban slammed for urging Joe Biden to employ Donald Trump's 'playbook' in 2024 election battle

MIAMI, FLORIDA: In an eyebrow-raising statement, entrepreneur and business magnate Mark Cuban has called on President Joe Biden to strategically deploy Donald Trump's own words against him in the looming 2024 elections.

Cuban referenced Trump's recent removal from presidential primary ballots in Colorado and Maine, highlighting the legal ramifications surrounding the former president's alleged violation of the 14th Amendment through his involvement in the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

Legal Battles and Controversial Decisions

The Colorado decision, rendered in a close 4-3 vote, asserted that Trump's actions constituted an insurrection, violating the constitutional amendment. This followed a lawsuit initiated by six Colorado voters seeking to prevent Trump from appearing on the state's presidential ballot.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, mirrored this decision last Thursday, upholding her adherence to the law amid calls for impeachment. Trump's campaign remains undeterred, planning to appeal these decisions. In response, Mark Cuban proposed an alternative strategy for President Biden.

"I wish Biden would come out and say he wants Trump on the ballot. The 14th doesn't apply. Then thanks him for the playbook describing how to never leave office and the appreciation of knowing he can't be charged, no matter what he does," Cuban wrote Sunday on X (formerly Twitter).

Cuban added, "And ends it with 'My Fellow Americans, I'm not ever going to leave the White House and there is nothing you can do to me.' Which would confirm exactly why SCOTUS will keep Trump off the ballots and why Trump will never get immunity."

Social Media Reactions

The business tycoon was subsequently trolled on social media for his comments.

"Guessing this is sarcasm," one posted on X (formerly Twitter).

"Liberals do not do analogies or metaphors very well at all," another wrote.

"It would’ve been shorter to just admit Biden is going to lose in 2024 if it’s up to the American people," someone else added.

"What happened to you, Mark? You're a smart person. None of that makes sense," a comment read.

"Wow. Trump really broke you. TDS is strong, with this one," another quipped.

President Biden weighed in on the Colorado decision, expressing his belief that the courts would ultimately determine whether the 14th Amendment applies to Trump's situation. "I think it's self-evident...[Trump] certainly supported an insurrection," Biden stated. "There's no question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on it, about everything."

However, the ruling remains in limbo pending a likely appeal to the US Supreme Court, creating uncertainty about Trump's inclusion on the Colorado ballot. Biden, concurrently facing an impeachment inquiry initiated by House Republicans, grapples with his political challenges.

Trump's Continued Dominance

With an approval rating below 50 percent for over two years, Biden faces criticism on issues such as the economy, immigration, and foreign policy. In contrast, Trump continues to dominate the Republican presidential primary field, boasting a substantial lead in nationwide polling.

According to the latest update to the CNN Poll of Polls, Trump leads by around 40 percentage points over his chief rivals, Florida Gov Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov Nikki Haley.

Trump's commanding position persists despite being a defendant in multiple criminal trials, facing a total of 91 charges across four separate cases. Juggling legal obligations with early state campaigning, Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

On the other hand, Cuban's impending exit from the Dallas Mavericks, with plans to sell his majority stake to Miriam Adelson, owner of Las Vegas Sands, raises questions about his political ambitions.

Departing from the popular show Shark Tank after his 16th season further fuels speculation about the magnate's potential entry into politics, Newsweek reported.
