Back then, Cuban talked to CNBC about his decision to keep a lot of his cash on hand due to perceived financial uncertainties about the future, discussing such factors as tariffs imposed by the United States and growing national debt:

“Put aside tariffs, put aside what the president is doing, he’s got his reasons…There’s just no way where you can say, ‘I just trust everything that’s going on.’ And that concerns me…If I get a feeling that [economic] growth will continue at 4-plus percent and the debt will then come down, then I’ll get back into the market.”

Coming back to the present, Cuban was also asked by Fox about his long-reported interest in an independent run for president, answering that the idea was “voted down” by his family. “If you can change their mind, I’m all in,” Cuban said, seemingly closing the door on speculation that he might still run in 2020.
