Mark Cuban Says Trump Going To Destroy America
Will Trump’s America First Trade Plan Bring Economic Pain or a Long-Overdue Reset?
Billionaire investor and longtime Trump critic Mark Cuban has issued a grim prediction about the U.S. economy—claiming it could face a downturn “far worse than 2008” if President Trump’s new tariff policy remains in effect and federal budget cuts continue under Elon Musk’s leadership.
In a post over the weekend on the social platform Bluesky, Cuban warned that long-term tariffs—combined with sharp spending reductions from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—could drive the nation toward serious financial trouble.
“If the new tariffs stay in place for multiple years, and are enforced and inflationary, and DOGE continues to cut and fire, we will be in a far worse situation than 2008,” Cuban claimed.
Cuban Sides with Kamala Harris and Globalist Trade Agenda
Cuban, who backed Kamala Harris during her failed 2024 campaign, made his comments in response to a question about President Trump’s refusal to lower individual tariff rates for foreign countries.
The concern? That Trump’s bold economic plan—which includes a 10% baseline tariff on all imports—could spark a recession similar to, or worse than, the 2008 financial crash or the 2020 pandemic downturn.
Trump Holding the Line: “No Plans to Pause”
But while Cuban and other liberal elites wring their hands, President Trump is standing firm.
Last week, the administration announced a historic trade package that includes higher, reciprocal tariffs aimed directly at nations who’ve abused the U.S. on trade for decades.
According to White House sources, over 50 countries have already reached out to open trade talks—proof that Trump’s strategy is working.
On Monday, President Trump made it clear: there will be no pause in the tariff rollout. In fact, he’s ready to go even further—threatening a 50% tariff on Chinese imports if Beijing refuses to strike a fair deal.
Elon Musk’s DOGE Slashes Washington Waste
At the same time, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been cutting bloated bureaucracies and trimming waste across the federal government. Critics like Cuban fear these cuts could cause short-term pain—but many conservatives see it as a long-overdue course correction.
While the left pushes fear, many Americans believe it’s time to get serious about protecting American jobs, American manufacturing, and American sovereignty.
Bottom Line: Mark Cuban may be bracing for impact—but for millions of Americans who support President Trump’s America First agenda, it looks more like a reset, not a recession.
