Billionaire Mark Cuban has no doubts that former Vice President Joe Biden has the mental fortitude to be the president.
During a heated interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, the two debated whether President Trump or Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was more capable of being a president, to which Cuban said Trump has no interest in running the country.
“One hundred percent. Absolutely. No question about it. Donald Trump doesn’t want to run a country. He wants to run a campaign. Joe Biden actually wants to run a country,” Cuban said when asked if Biden has the “stamina” to be president.
“OK, you give me a bumper sticker,” Hannity said in response to the entrepreneur, host of ABC’s investment show Shark Tank and owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.
“Joe’s been in office 50 years. He was vice president for eight years,” he said, citing Trump signing the First Step Act and an executive order on police reform. “Tell me what Joe has done that you’re proud of that qualifies him to be president after 50 years.”
“He was a big part of Obamacare, the ACA,” Cuban said of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. Cuban also said Biden had a hand in “solving” the Great Recession that occurred beginning in 2007.
“We just had two and a half million new jobs and a record retail sales in the history of the country. Donald Trump did that, not Biden in the basement,” Hannity said.
“Sean, it’s like I explained to my kids: When your bank account goes from $10 to $1, and then, all the sudden it goes to $2, you can say you doubled your bank account, but you’re still down 80%,” Cuban responded, criticizing Trump’s handling of the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
