Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban is blasting President Donald Trump and Congress amid the Coronavirus Outbreak.
On Monday evening, the Dallas Mavericks owner took to Twitter with a scathing opinion of the federal governmentās handling of the coronavirus.
In response to Ben Shapiroās tweet about David Brooksā ā a columnist for The New York Times ā suggestion that the federal government implement a āNational Service Programā to aid students facing unemployment and the possibility of having to sit out of school in the fall.
Cuban voiced his frustrations about the governmentās lack of leadership.
āWe are all confused,ā Cuban tweeted. āYou know what will make us less confused? Good old fashioned leadership. Right now we have none. There is not a single person in our federal government that we can trust with our lives. That is what this is all about isnāt it? Who can we trust with our lives?ā
Cuban also blasted the president for placing an emphasis on blaming instead of prioritizing helping the American people.
āWho is taking responsibility? Who is giving us honesty, transparency, candor, facts, hope ? Even if its not what we want to hear,ā Cuban tweeted. āI trust our scientists and those around the world are doing everything possible to come up with a vaccine and therapies, that gives me hope.ā
By focusing on placing blame, Cuban insists government officials āaināt doing s***ā to improve the problems Americans are facing.
āBut our Senators, members of Congress and President aināt doing s***, that I can tell, other than looking for someone to blame,ā Cuban tweeted. āThe reality is that we donāt know what the right answers are, but it sure would be nice to be able to have a civil discussion about the options.ā

Cubanās tweets come just days after his previous interview on CNBC. At the time, he expressed concerns about the economic impacts small businesses will likely face in the coming months, as IJR reported.
Although the government has approved two stimulus packages for small business loans, Cuban insists it will take more than that to stabilize the small business sector.
