Mark Cuban @mcuban.bsky.social · Mar 1 If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

I hope more MAGA supporters find out just how much Donald Trump doesn’t care about them before the midterms
They have the mid-terms fixed already with throwing out votes and jerrymandering.
They'll try to find some way to blame it on Biden or the democrats. Just like they always do.
In a few weeks of this lunatic's second term, the wheels haven't only just come off, they've rolled at high-speed into the lane of oncoming traffic and caused a pile-up a mile long.
Midterms. 😆
I’m going to work hard to make the midterms VERY interesting. Meanwhile, we have some special elections to win.
You are assuming the midterms won't be sham elections, ala Russian ones
I would love to see Trusk try to explain this away. If only the press would ask him about it 🤔
Midterms? Really 🤔
The frightening part is that people think the midterm elections will happen. Does anyone actually believe that the ketamine king didn’t fix that last election? That with unobstructed access for 2 years to the voting system that it will be a free and fair midterm election?!?! The time to act is now.
Stagflation is being predicted for the foreseeable future
Will there be an election?
Are we making it until the midterms? Feel like there will be another major dam or two they blow wide open before then. They are fighting to never have a free and fair election ever again.
Can’t wait for the tariffs and reduced government spending to boost it all People forget how to evaluate economic genius Start out with money earned less inheritances Subtract loses (including those from bankruptcy’s) If numbers are negative not a genius It’s that simple folks
I’m not sure it’ll matter if elections can be stolen. There’s a cabal of tech bros on the side of the regime.
I can't wait to vote in the Mid-Terms!!!!💙
We will still be America by the mid terms? I don’t think we have that long Mark.
But the USA will be respected!?!
This is the Trump history in office, lower GDP & wait until we start see the job loss numbers. He's a cancer on our economy and was when he was in office the 1st time.
“But I thought they were going to fix the economy”
What was up with the market today?
I believe Trump ran out of road today. After destroying the US economy in 30 days, an American President supporting an enemy of the US just isn’t sustainable. It’s just a matter of time now when pop goes the weasel.
I don't know why ppl keep talking about elections in 2026. Trump already announced moving the FEC under the direct control of the WH. That will be one of the next agencies to be purged. We need to understand that we won't have real elections.
You’re assuming the elections won’t be hacked or cancelled. Waiting for an election in two years is not the answer.
Cough cough, I think I'm sick. The US economy, social networks, supply chains, consumer enthusiasm, US security, Press Freedoms, Rule of Law and not cure in sight. Oh no, not another pandemic.
Ignore the people who keep saying there won't be any midterms. Don't quit. Don't give up. Refuse to comply.
young man, it took a while but you're figuring it out; note: gerrymanders nation-wide will preserve GOP majority, almost certainly, these dumass GOP House members win 65/70% vs opponents, the Ds can't find peeps willing to fight these terrible 2:1 odds, nobody good will run vs that
I don’t know that we will have free/fair midterms, if indeed we get to vote again.
Make it 5 points! Sure, that will fuck my $s in Canada, but I ride with the Americans who give a shit about a sustainable economy!
The wager is that if they dismantle enough the infrastructure of public sector services won’t be able to recover, so it will be ceded to the privateers ever after.
I will be pulling some kind of “lever” in 2026 and 2028….which “lever” depends on what the current regime thinks they’re going to get away with….*click*
It's time for the Friends of Ukraine to start boycotting American products, like we already boycott Russian goods and services. That's the only pressure point that Trump will respond to. #slavaukraini
What midterms?
I cannot wait for the intense pushback and blowback from the GOP Trump Musk debacle. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🎉🍾
Do you really believe that there will be midterms?
It’s fantasy to think they aren’t all MAGA
According to some of the financial analysts I follow we're heading for a recession, or worse. And, Trump's tariffs haven't even gone ieffect yet. yet. Walmart is even saying that they aren't expecting the traditional growth they've seen over the past few years. Scary. Somebody stop him.
📉 2025 GDP Forecast: Early growth peaked at 3.9% but declined sharply to -1.5% by late February. Projections suggest a steady decline through the year, with potential negative growth by Q4, raising recession risks.
As long as we can get to the midterms. With all due respect Mark, it seems you’re missing the COUP that’s taking place right now.
Let's make this go viral! We have to get Trump and Vance out of the White House! Please sign and share my petition to impeach Donald Trump and remove Elon Musk from government affairs. www.change.org/Impeach_Dona...
The only thing about that, if the election in Nov. was tampered with by the tech minions who’s going to to stop them from tampering with every election going forward?
Destroying the economy may be part of the bigger plan to replace the dollar with crypto?
Not an investing wonk, and it seems there’s more on the line today…just sayin’
We're on the verge of civil war...this isn't an economic theory question anymore.
Doesn't this imply a lot of awareness, understanding and self preservation that may not actually exist in the context of a "voting base"?
And yet Trump raved about how great the U.S. was doing under him before he left for Florida today. Alternate reality!
Cash in everything and wait for the total crash and buy back. Peoples savings and pensions are going down the toilet. This was expected when trump won. All the good investments Biden did in infrastructure and green energy are reversed by these trump/elon idiots.
What fucking MidTerms? Our country will not have free and fair elections. The White House will be using the Russian playbook on elections. Full Stop.
Mark will come out OK either way
Did you check the market today, “Mr Shark”? 🤡
there has never been a single example from history of a country voting its way out of fascism. that simply does not happen
Do you full heartedly believe there will still be midterms?
While I would agree with the midterm and economic analysis if these were normal times, your perspective feels so quaint given the very real four alarm fire that we are living. We will likely not have midterms. We may even not have a country. Stop expecting normal outcomes.
How can we help!
Republicans are MAGA! They have all show us who they are.
If there will be mid terms.
My crystal ball says there is a good chance that Trump will try to cancel them on the grounds of there being a threat to national security. #NoMidTerms
America is going into a deep deep depression economically and morally… Trump and Musk will be forever stained by it…
The real question I have is whether this is planned or not. Both are bad but I want to know if Trump is trying to tank the economy to help his ultra rich friends, or to stupid to realize how bad these moves are.
I’m predicting 2+
Not just the midterms! Tuesday, April 1st there are TWO #Congressional #SpecialElections in #Florida! FLORIDA VOTERS IN congressional District 01, #VoteBlue #GayValimont and district 06 #VoteBlue #JoshWeil! We can take back the House! Check your #VoterRegistration #RegisterToVote! #Donate #Volunteer
He will just do more bread and circuses with a stimulus check for a $2,000 which will be enough for the Maggots to behave.
Yeah they know which is why these animals will be doing as much as possible to make sure there are no mid terms.
I’ve sold all my US stocks.
What are the other feds forecasting?
Republicans vs MAGA? Republicans are MAGA.
It adorable that you think there will be a midterm election.
Will there even be midterms?
Well, they will just fire whoever predicted that so that means it won't happen. Then just refuse to publicize statistics. Everything good! Trust me!
If we even have midterms
Proof of what tRUmp & repuglicans to best.💔
I don’t see any reason the Atlanta Fed is wrong. All the numbers point that way. This MAGA economic chaos policy is a disaster.
Trump and Republicans Create recessions to bail out the Corrupt and they get Richer!
But memories are so short.
Tariffs
Actually, it won’t. They already kissed the ring. They are all in.
Will we have midterm elections? Will we ever have elections again?
The state of Business in trumpamerikkka is NOT great. Not even good.
Oh the MAGAs will follow their leader to their deaths. March on pseudo-christian soldiers.
Some people have to feel the impact on themselves before they can find empathy for others
Ooooops!
Tank it!
Not confident There will BE Midterm elections
With Massive Firings, and government Shut down, things be looking bad.
I think they plan martial law before the midterms. No one in their right mind would otherwise be doing this.
Do you really think there is many Europeans that want to buy us products from now on? Of course it will go down.
Tesla for 0
Trump and the GOP will just feed the rubes some more bullshit about trans kids and dogs getting eaten and the rubes won’t care if they’re living in cardboard boxes.
Let's hope they are a reckoning
IF there are midterms. trump may try to find a way to stop them.
You think they won’t fuck with the midterms like they did the General ???
Unfortunately I don't think so, there'll still be enough of the last administration failures to capitulate the audience that it won't matter. I honestly don't think the legislative branch will have any teeth anyways.
If they were even remotely credible the ratings agencies would have already downgraded the country as it has already reneged on $100s of millions in international financial transactions and is in a de facto "shut down." Fck the market; the full faith and credit of the USG is effectively bunk.
It's cute that you think there will be midterms. It is so frustrating to see Americans putting their heads in the sand and thinking there is still a democracy.
We’re all going to go through self preservation mode. It’s gonna get ugly
Stupidity should be painful. Breaking America is the only way Trumpists will abandon their cult. Unfortunately the damage they’re doing right now is borderline irreversible. The world will NEVER trust America again, and undoing the damage to the government will take a generation or more.
So many in the business world believe de-regulation is the magic wand that will make everything wonderful. They've got their heads firmly buried in the sand about the #TrumpRecession and the #TrumpTariffTax and the #TrumpChaos that's heading their way.
I hope the everyday Americans are fine throughout this, but I hope the billionaires maybe even some of the millionaires just financially die in this market
The US won't be having midterms if the current trends continue.
Well data already shows that the midterms will be a bloodbath for the Republicans if the economic trends continue.
This!! I have been asking - where are republicans? The people won’t forget what they are doing to destroy The US. The economy is tanking and all for nothing BUT a photo op. Trump won’t be around when they are begging the American people to re-elect them. His term will be over.
I don’t know what happened but it went through the roof today. My IRA went up and I got it out. I’m done I figured I better do it when the market opens this morning. Thank God gut feeling . Mr. Cuban run for president.
I hope and pray we get there
Can’t wait to sit back and watch them eat each other
Golly gee willikers, Batman! I sure wish all those leading world economists would have warned us that something like this would happen if he was elected and implemented his shitty economic policies!
Mark, what do you think of this video on tariffs. It sounds like an imaginary story to me. youtu.be/T-zEbp1Km54?...
Won't mater next election is already being rigged.
Gee, what happened in the last month? If only we could figure it out, connect some dots.
Hmm. We found something Trump is good at: creating recessions.
They’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If they don’t do what Trump wants, Elon primaries them. If they do what Trump wants, it screws them hard with their constituents. Why do you think Republicans love voter suppression? Cuz their policies are popular?
Elect destructive clowns, get catastrophe.
Silly goose! We’re gonna be in a full blown civil war by August of this year. It will be 3 or 4 years before we can hold elections, assuming the CW doesn’t go nuclear.
We can’t wait that long to act
I hope everyone is sick of winning
There will never be another fair election. Midterms will be a dog and pony show. Elon Musk isn’t going to let a mid term election be free and fair. Come on now.
Mark, you are far above this. I get your heart, but there are many of us who are preparing to go underground. We know our history. We have already seen men in black come out of nowhere to subdue a woman. I will n o t speak of it again. Your money and your celebrity will protect you.
Just make sure there is a midterm.
There will never be another fair election. USA is toast. Stick a fork in it....it's over.
can we make it in midterms?
Already America is going backwards. Everything Trump touches or works for struggles and dies. This man is a cancer on our country. You can only say that the man is stupid.
You are assuming the election will be honest and not follow what happens in Russia
Do you still think that there will be midterms? Especially after that fiasco in the WH last night? Keep dreaming. Good luck though.
If the midterms happen Mark.
If Atlanta Fed is wrong, Trump will sue.
The problem is the voter suppression and purges. 3.5 million valid voters were purged and not allowed to vote in November. They have only ramped that up.
People keep acting like there is going to be a mid term. Has anyone studied the rise of Nazism/Hitler? We CANNOT wait that long!
Become a Democrat and there might be a future in politics for you.
I am no economist but.. we kind of knew this was going to happen before he was even elected
If that’s what it takes to crush this cancerous cretin, so be it. A recession would suck, but better than living in MAGA hell.
I have huge concerns about how ethical the midterms will be. I think there will be elections but who will maintain the security of the system? Musk? Or will it be here is your choice Putin or Trump much like they do in North Korea and Russia.
Wait… mid terms get cancelled because of “reasons…”
What mid terms? We live under a dictatorship now not a democracy
This is a classic recession. Start preparing for it now as America is about to take a very painful economic hit. Jobs will be lost, savings will be depleted, 401K's and IRA's need to plan for shifting to equities that do well during this type of contraction. Last recession, 2008-2009.
ROFL...."midterms." Seriously Mark?
I started selling my stock in January. I very little left and that’s going next week. Can’t ride this one out, made lots under Biden. Can’t imagine what will be in a few months.
It boils down to whether the ignorant right voters can actual digest what is happening and oust the people making it happen. I have my doubts. I live in far-right rural Virginia
So Mr Cuban, you really believe there will be voting in 2 years? Also, i wouldn't use the word interesting when speaking about 2026 . As a billionaire yourself what actually could you lose? Me? Everything. Just a game still to you guys.
tRUMP was already labeled 'Worst President in American History'. This week and especially today proves that he wants to make SURE no future president breaks his record.
Bring it on! Can’t wait!
So much winning...! And inflation fighting! And interest lowering! And job growing!
The Dems need to find a leader. They are a rudderless ship. Chuck Shumer’s middle school principal imitation isn’t quite stirring the blood.
Trump made the fatal flaw of thinking his downfall wouldn’t also be as good of press as his ascension. Ofc they have no reason to take him out when he is enacting all their wanton desires, but who knows.
You think there will be any more elections? There is a reason why Trump told his faithful “in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Elon will ensure a win for Republicans while Democrats politely refuse to do anything
What midterms? 😡
Give it a few days and we'll get an EO saying we have to follow Trump Math now.
MAGA and Republican are one in the same now, Mark. There will only be people who leave that cult for the good of the country.
At what point does it become an official recession?
Midterms...I'd be surprised if we we made it to Mid-April before voting ceases to exist.
And this surprises who exactly? You had to know this was going to happen if Trump was elected. The chickens are coming home to roost.
Agreed if you ever have an election again
And Geiger Capital is a raging right wing spewer. If the results of felon chaos are undeniable even to THEM...
He’ll claim this as fake news and blame Biden
Also, maybe don’t tariff 60% of your oil imports.
I have spent ZERO dollars on anything not a necessity and I plan to continue to do that. I have bought nothing from Amazon, Walmart, Target, American supermarkets, etc. Shop local, small businesses, no luxuries or “wants”. Watch the economy shrivel. Fuck them all.
Cubans rooting for a crash.
And hopefully neither side prevails... This country would be 100% better off without the GOP.
Yes, the Republicans have a problem. I am bothered more by the disappearance of Schumer and Hakeem. The only loud voices are the ones that Queen Nancy and Israel's Senator kept out of sight. Thank you, Chris and AOC.
If elon doesn’t hack that election as well
You’re acting as though things are normal. Are you kidding me? There won’t be midterms. Trump is siding with Russia now. Turned his back on Europe. Has Musk dismantling our government. You think Trump is going to let us vote? We are clearly in uncharted waters here in the US.
-1.5 is pretty gloom.
If Trump succeeds in crashing the economy and chaos ensues he'll declare martial law and there will be no midterms.
Unless Elon has the keys to the voting systems, which it seems they already admitted they used for the General Election in November.
Soooo cute Mark! "If."
You really think there will be free and fair midterms?? You are dreaming.
But will we make it to the mid-terms.
You're assuming that our Republic will last & democracy will hold until the midterms. 🤔 You're assuming that King Trump will "allow" midterm elections.🤨 You're assuming that there won't be election shenanigans' of voter purges, voided ballots, etc.🤨 You're far more hopeful than I am at this moment.😐
I am betting that the numbers will be tweaked to show an increase. Alternate “data “ as it were.
Especially as MAGA realizes their jobs are being cut, inflation is soaring, and their Medicaid benefits are drying up.
Yep. Inflation + Recession + Pandemics + World War Spectre Now that takes some talent! Another 39 days and we can be a sh*thole economic country like Russia, if we aren't already.
How many eggs are you buying this year?
Horrifying. Everything Trump touches dies.
@mcuban.bsky.social are you following the latest on sanctions? This was a month ago, but Russia remains the most sanctioned country in the world. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
Don't discount the power of the right lie delivered the right way to the right people.
Economy dropping g like a stone. Trump-nomics!
