Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and a thorn in the side of Donald Trump, is needling the president with numbers.
Cuban appeared at the All-Star Celebrity Game in New Orleans in a jersey emblazoned with the number 46 — a reference to his open flirtation with the idea of launching his own campaign to take out Trump, the 45th U.S. president.
He picked the digits “to tweak the s–t out of everybody,” Cuban told ESPN after Friday’s game, where he had one rebound and a steal but put no points on the board.
“It was just to f–k with everybody, because that is what I do,” he said. “You’ve got to have fun with it. You can’t take it too seriously.”
Cuban, a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton and harsh Trump critic, said Monday that he is still considering a run for the White House.
“We will see,” he told Business Insider the day after The Post reported that a Cuban candidacy is Trump’s biggest re-election fear.
Trump brushed off the threat in a Feb. 12 tweet.
“I know Mark Cuban well. He backed me big-time but I wasn’t interested in taking all of his calls,” Trump wrote. “He’s not smart enough to run for president!”
