Dallas Mavericks owner and hedge fund billionaire Mark Cuban (TMZ)

Dallas Mavericks owner and hedge fund billionaire Mark Cuban said in a flurry of tweets on Saturday that he doesn’t believe President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 campaign — but only because Trump isn’t “detail oriented, organized or big picture enough” to successfully pull off something so complicated.



“As people with Russian connects came into the campaign he had no clue that those connections were possibly being influenced by Russia,” Cuban said. “His lean campaign took direction from people he trusted and he followed those directions. He had no clue where the Russians fit.”

“No chance this is a DJT led conspiracy. He isn’t detail oriented, organized or big picture enough to pull off any [type] of conspiracy. I think Putin recognized trumps greed and took advantage by back channeling coordinated misinformation in an attempt to influence voters. Trump had no idea this was happening. He was doing what he was told to do. Stick to the script and read what was written for him,” he continued.

Cuban’s full set of tweets is embedded below:


1) Here is my take on Trump and Russia

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

2) Russians have made him a lot of money buying condos and investing in his bldgs and hosting his beauty pageant.That makes them his friends

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

3) He ignored their backgrounds. But that's not unusual. Starbucks takes anyone's money and so do most businesses including mine.

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

4) He spoke favorably about Putin to get his approval for Russians to get $ out of Russia and into Trump deals. He saw it as easy money

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

5) When Manafort was recommended, he didn't vett him. He saw it as a win win. Win the election or open the door for more Russian business

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

6) As people with Russian connects came into the campaign he had no clue that those connections were possibly being influenced by Russia

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

7) His lean campaign took direction from people he trusted and he followed those directions. He had no clue where the Russians fit

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

8) when Manafort got "hot" he got rid of him but the campaign approach had been established. Bannon took it to the next level FTW

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

9) No chance this is a DJT led conspiracy. He isn't detail oriented, organized or big picture enough to pull off any time of conspiracy

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

10) I think Putin recognized trumps greed and took advantage by back channeling coordinated misinformation in an attempt to influence voters

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

11) Trump had no idea this was happening. He was doing what he was told to do. Stick to the script and read what was written for him

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

12)Because he didn't recognize or understand as it was happening he has no idea what to do now or how to respond. So he turns to Fox News

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

13) That's what I think happened. Feel free to agree or disagree

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 1, 2017

You know , if this is true then we really do have a huge problem .
If Russia can use Trump with out Trump being any the wiser . Then instead of having a president called Trump , what we have is an ignorant Russian puppet in the white house .

Didn't Pelosi say something to the effect "We have to find out - no matter if they were willing participants or stooges"

I'll try to find a link

Edit:
Oops - my mistake - Nancy was calling Nunes a stooge for Trump about the "collected surveillance" reveal... which is another fubar if it is a setup

It isn't so much whether Trump colluded with Russia or not.

1. Russia absolutely tried to impact our election. Regardless of the election results, Americans... ALL Americans should be appalled and want to get to the complete set of facts on this.

2. A number of Trump's team were having meetings with the Russians during the campaign and just after the election. This might have been based on their naiveté or it might have been nefarious.... We already know Flynn was fired for it and Sessions lied about it. Regardless of the election results, Americans... ALL Americans should be appalled and want to get to the complete set of facts on this.

I agree . I also think that if Russia was using Trump and Trump didn't know it ,we need to know. And if Trumps team knew that it was happening and approved , again we need to know . We are in for a rough and rocky road with Trump in the white house and we need to know who is at the wheel . This Mark Cuban isn't a politician and doesn't seem to have an ax to grind . And he runs in the same social circle as Trump . I don't see any reason to ignore his take on Trump and the Russians.

Taking the wheel? Seems in this case the boat is both rudderless & captainless but the tide is moving it very quickly in a direction fooling people as to otherwise.

I beg to differ, someone doesn't go the distance to become president of the USA in a rudderless & captainless boat. There has to be someone calling the shots , now whether it's the guy who's name is on the ticket or someone is pulling that guys strings is the question . But nobody becomes president by accident .

Thursday evening when we sent some where between 50 and 60 missiles over to Syria and piled up some more' not insignificant' body count numbers , now it's reported that Russia has sent their battle ship out towards our ships that fired off the missiles .
I don't seem to have the twisted thinking I takes to figure out how that >> the ships <<< and the string pulling can be workable . What I mean is , that to me backs up the Russians using Trump with out his knowledge theory .

None of the powers do really. Though to be sure it is much better here.

Agreed. There are too many nukes involved to want to go back to Cold War tensions.

Does playing nicely include not hacking into U.S. government, business and privately owned computer systems?

Something the Russian Government has been doing, both directly and indirectly, for decades (not counting the Soviet era): since 1991.
