Mark Cuban said Wednesday that President Donald Trump needs a better grasp of the issues to truly move the country forward.

"No leadership skills, no management skills, not very good communications skills, but he's obviously had an impact on the economy, so he gets credit for that," Cuban said on CNN's The Lead With Jake Tapper.

Cuban, the billionaire investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, said Trump has "cocooned" himself in the White House, which has resulted in numerous leaks and a poor workplace culture.

He said Trump, whose populist message resulted in a historic presidential victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton, has not transitioned into leadership.

"Rallying the crowd, putting together a hype video and managing and leading people are two different things," he said. "At some point you have to communicate an understanding of the issues."

Cuban pointed to the struggling House Republican health care bill as an example of Trump not being able to communicate on the issues. But he conceded that the financial markets and the economy have reacted well to the new president.

"I hope it continues," he said. "I don't want to see it go backwards."

As for his presidential aspirations, Cuban said such talk was premature. He got a taste of presidential politics last year, when he was a frequent critic of Trump.

"I don't want to say no," he said. "But it's not my dream to be president of the United States."
