Billionaire Mark Cuban Blasts Trump’s John Deere Tariff Proposal In Harris Campaign Call: ‘Insanity’
SUMMARY
Billionaire Mark Cuban launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump’s proposed 200% tariff on John Deere during a Kamala Harris campaign call, calling the move “insanity.” Cuban, who has repeatedly aligned himself with Harris, argued that the tariff would hurt John Deere by allowing Chinese manufacturers to compete more easily, a claim critics see as exaggerated fearmongering. Trump’s proposal came after the company announced plans to move some production to Mexico, a move Cuban seems more willing to defend despite the devastating impact on American jobs. Cuban, whose net worth stands at $5.7 billion, has been a vocal Trump critic ever since switching his support from Trump to Hillary Clinton in 2016. He’s now backing Harris, claiming she’s “better for business,” though many view his motives as self-serving. Cuban also attacked Trump’s 10% cap on credit card interest rates, further exposing his alignment with liberal economic policies.
