Home Depot (HD) - Get Free Report co-founder Bernie Marcus is proving his loyalty to former President Donald Trump and has managed to infuriate consumers while doing so.
The former CEO of the home improvement retail chain now has a boycott on his hands after Reuters asked Marcus in a new interview if he would still support Trump's 2024 presidential bid if he was convicted of a crime. He responded by saying "I think so. Because I think it's all trumped up." Marcus also said that he will “support him to some extent” but he is “not one of his big givers.”

I foresee a big jump in shopping at Home Depot in the near future.

Do liberals do home improvements? Half are so rich they hire someone to do it, the other half have never owned a home.

The man was asked a question, and he answered it. I doubt that the soy boys who would institute a boycott against Home Depot spend a lot of time with power tools and home-improvementy things anyway.

He has nothing to do with HD these days. He can vote for whomever he wants. People talking boycott are simply ignorant.
I doubt HD endorses any candidate. They know both sides buy plywood and drill bits.

I’m pretty sure leftists don’t shop at Home Depot because that would mean they are “handy”...there’s no such thing as a leftist that’s “handy”.

They don’t have to convince me,I’m already voting for Trump

FWIW: Trump DID say he could kill someone on 5th avenue, and people would still vote for him.

Conservative: "He is entitled to his opinion and that will not affect my buying decisions."
Liberal: "Oh, how shocking! I won't buy at Home Depot now!"
Leftist: "Bernie Marcus. A Jew, no? I wonder what size electric cable I should beat him with?"
To: stars & stripes forever
Oh yeah - but when the CEOs attack Trump then they’re heroic autobots and the boycotted are evil…
Don’t care.

To: stars & stripes forever
Wait, he's the The former CEO, right?
That would be like me saying "the former CEO
of Target supported Trump, so now
I'm going to start shopping at Target".
What am I missing here?
To: McGavin999
That and they have no clue about how to fix anything.

"Do liberals do home improvements?"As my dear old dad used to say, "They don't know which end of the hammer to pick up."
