While Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban has held off until now from endorsing a candidate, he didn’t hold back after endorsing Hillary Clinton and referring to Donald Trump as a “jagoff” and having gone “batsh*t crazy.”
The endorsement came at a Saturday campaign event in Pittsburgh, where Cuban is from. “I am ready to vote for a true leader, I am ready to vote for the American Dream. I am ready to tell the world that I am here to endorse Hillary Clinton,” he said. “In Hillary Clinton’s America, the American Dream is alive and well. There is no place that knows that better than Pittsburgh because we are an American Dream city.”
That wasn’t the only reference Cuban made to Pittsburgh. It’s where the term “jagoff” is used. “You know what we call a person like that — the screamers, the yellers, the people that try to intimidate you? You know what we call a person like that in Pittsburgh? A jagoff,” said Cuban earlier in the day. “Is there any bigger jagoff in the world than Donald Trump?”
Cuban signaled to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta on Thursday that he was ready to endorse, according to CNN.
Cuban had more serious words concerning Trump as well, whom he said he tried to talk to about adapting and learning policy. “Trump scares me. Donald, initially, I really hoped he would be something different, that as a businessperson, I thought there was an opportunity there. But then he went off the reservation and went batsh*t crazy,” he said.
“I told him directly, at some point you have to learn, at some point you have to read and that that job is all about uncertainty and if you don’t do the work, that is not good for this country,” Cuban also said. “And he just doesn’t do the work.”
Cuban’s Twitter is full of words for Trump as well as further praise for Hillary.

Anyone notice that when @realDonaldTrump talks about partnering with Russia he never mentions negotiation or their paying their fair share ?
