MARK CUBAN: Donald Trump is proving he'd be a 'puppet president'

"If you look back over the past 10 months, you don't say, 'Look, he's really started to show an in-depth grasp of all the issues that he's talking about,'" Cuban said. "It's the exact opposite."

"He speaks in headlines," he continued. "He tries to make headlines without doing any type of deep policy dives. If you don't understand the issues, if you don't have in-depth knowledge of your policies and the reasons why they may or may not work, then you're going to have to listen to other people."

The owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and star of ABC's "Shark Tank" also said Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, would "have to be guided by others in everything" should he be elected in the fall.

"And so because of that, he's going to be a puppet president," Cuban said. "And whoever is closest to him is going to have a lot more impact on this country than probably Donald will."

1. I disagree. Can't even count on him to be a good puppet.

Maybe he's like a marionette with tangled strings

2. Headlines, slogans, bumper-stickers

Comprise his thinking.

3. I really appreciate the way Cuban and other successful businessmen have been taking it to Trump.

This just goes to show that Trump has zero respect coming from his other well known would-be peers. I say would-be, because they aren't really his peers. They are the real deal. He isn't.

4. Putin's puppet, actually. Bought and paid for.
