You know, on occasion I catch funky pieces of news from some of the strangest places. Well, it seems that there is a new piece of funky news.
Apparently, one of the reasons Trump hates Cuban so much is that when they were making Sharknado 3, they offered Trump the opportunity to play POTUS for the movie, but then decided on Mark Cuban.
To say the least.............Trump was pissed.....................
Donald Trump almost played the president in 'Sharknado 3,' and was reportedly furious when Mark Cuban did instead
In January 2015, Trump agreed to appear in the film after Ian Ziering, the star of the franchise and a former contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice," contacted his former reality TV boss about the role. A contract was soon sent to Trump's lawyer, Michael D. Cohen.
Eventually, the once "serious talks" devolved into silence from Trump's camp as he prepared to launch a real presidential bid, according to David Latt, the founder of The Asylum, the studio behind the "Sharknado" series.
"Donald's thinking about making a legitimate run for the presidency, so we'll get back to you," Latt recalled to THR how Cohen explained Trump's indecision about the role. "This might not be the best time."
Nevertheless, when the role of POTUS went to Mark Cuban at the last minute, Trump took offense.
"We immediately heard from Trump's lawyer," Latt said. "He basically said, 'How dare you? Donald wanted to do this. We're going to sue you! We're going to shut the entire show down!'"
