Dallas billionaire Mark Cuban is talking politics again, reports The Dallas Morning News. And while he’s not endorsing GOP front runner Donald Trump, Cuban does believe a candidate with a business background is better qualified than a politician.

When he appeared on CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday, the owner of the Mavericks NBA team said he likes the fact that Trump doesn’t worry about being politically correct, the report says.

“Like, before all the presidential stuff, he was like that friend everybody had that you liked to pick on,” Cuban said. “In person, he’s nice. But now, he’s gone crazy. I can’t explain what’s happened to him.”

NY AG: Trump University Fraud ‘Pretty Straightforward’

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said that evidence of the fraud perpetrated by Trump University is “pretty straightforward,” reports CNN Money.

“It [was] a bait and switch scheme,” he said on CNN’s New Day Friday, defending his and other lawsuits against the school. “He did ads saying my hand-picked instructors will teach you my personal secrets. You just copy what I did and get rich.”

While Schneiderman said it’s clear that Trump was not involved in hiring instructors or creating the program’s curriculum, “If you tell people we’re going to teach you Donald Trump’s secrets, and he never had any part in writing the curriculum, that’s fraud,” Schneiderman said.

In the CNN interview, Schneiderman said thousands of students paid millions of dollars to the school, which closed in 2010. While the attorney general’s suit is a civil suit rather than a criminal action, Trump could face millions in fines, Schneiderman said.

Trump’s organization said it was an “extremely unfortunate” ruling and it would “continue to fight” the wind farm proposal.

The broadcaster says that Trump “was furious when the Scottish government approved plans for the renewable energy development within sight of his multi-million pound golf development on the Menie estate, north of Aberdeen.”

Legal Experts Agree: Trump’s Proposal Unconstitutional

Donald Trump’s call to block all Muslims from entering the United States is not only unconstitutional, but also impossible to carry out, legal experts said Tuesday, according to an Associated Press report.

“Trump’s proposed ban, announced to cheers at a rally in South Carolina Monday, would apply to immigrants and visitors alike, a sweeping prohibition affecting all adherents of a religion practiced by more than a billion people worldwide.” reports the AP’s Scott Bauer.

“It is blatantly unconstitutional and it’s an attack on the very foundation of the United States,” said Marci Hamilton, a law professor specializing in the First Amendment at Yeshiva University in New York City. She called his idea “laughable.”
