Mark Cuban has said he'd be open to becoming President Trump’s “entrepreneurial czar" - with certain conditions.

Days after the dissolution of two White House business councils, Mark Cuban has said he'd be open to becoming President Trump’s “entrepreneurial czar" - with certain conditions. 
The Dallas Mavericks owner indicated his willingness to join the administration, telling Business Insider in an email, “I would put aside my personal feelings about Donald Trump if I were put in a position to help entrepreneurs.” 
But he added, “I wouldn't go on a council. I wouldn't do a kiss the ring type cabinet meeting or be a prop. I wouldn't change my positions or apologize for anything I said.”
Cuban’s comments come after Trump's announcement on Wednesday that he's ending two business advisory panels--one related to strategy and the other to manufacturing--which counted some of the nation’s top CEOs as members. 
However, those groups were already reportedly on their way to being dissolved from the inside, as executives were said to be unhappy with the president’s comments following the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. 
In his remarks to Business Insider, Cuban went on to express frustration about the current lack of entrepreneurial representation in the government, explaining, “...that hurts employment and the ability of entrepreneurs throughout the country to achieve the American dream.”
In the past, Cuban, who backed Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, has publicly traded barbs with Trump.
