Never Trump'r Mark Cuban offers to serve as Trump's 'entrepreneurial czar'
2017-08-22
[The Hill] Business mogul and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on Friday offered to join President Trump's administration now that two of his economic councils have disbanded.

Cuban told Business Insider that he'd be willing to serve as Trump's "entrepreneurial czar," on the condition that he would have "autonomy" and wouldn't have to serve as a prop for the Trump administration.

"I would put aside my personal feelings about Donald Trump if I were put in a position to help entrepreneurs," Cuban told Business Insider.

"I wouldn't go on a council. I wouldn't do a kiss the ring type Cabinet meting or be a prop. I wouldn't change my positions or apologize for anything I said," Cuban added.

In an email exchange with the news outlet, Cuban said he would "put America first" if given a "Gary Cohn level of autonomy," referring to Trump's National Economic Council director.

It seems unlikely that Trump would make such an offer, as Cuban routinely criticizes the president.

#2  "Entrepreneurial czar" is it? I'm sure Mr. Cuban will be delighted with any cabinet position, as long as the word "czar" is included.

That room is about full at the White House.
