Cuban would be interesting. His primary motivation seems to be leaving a legacy, and has the foresight to shift his resources to causes that are important to a lot of people. I would say that Trump also wants to leave a legacy, but he has zero foresight and can't think beyond anything that can immediately benefit himself personally. IMO a Cuban presidency would look similar to Trump's in that he would be a figurehead primarily, and the real work of governing would fall to his subordinates. But I think he would be more focused on hiring people that would help him further cementing his name in history rather than Trump who only wanted gutless lackeys who agreed with everything he said. President Cuban would probably mold his policy decisions around whatever the most popular polling results were, so he'd probably be a net positive overall given that the popular vote for most social issues swings heavily in favor of liberal ideals
