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.”

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

The former CEO of the home improvement retail chain now has a boycott on his hands. Stupid reporter, the words 'former CEO' implies he has absolutely nothing on his hands. Reporters really should be required to have graduated 3rd grade.

They don’t maintain their property that often.
I actually drove 30 minutes further to HD instead of Lowes for a 400 dollar purchase just five days back.

We just bought a new bunk bed and a microwave from Home Depot.

Guess that means I’ll be visiting to buy stuff sooner than I thought. Lefties can stay away if they wish. Or visit target or dicks.

FWIW: Trump DID say he could kill someone on 5th avenue, and people would still vote for him.
That is not what he said.

I always hated homo depo because they would not back the shitty products they sold.
Guess I have a reason to go back

I’m pretty sure leftists don’t shop at Home Depot because that would mean they are competent enough not to chop their own hands off.

If you are ever stuck in a riot, run to the nearest HD and hide your money in the work boot section.

I go there often.
I now will go there more often.
It’s war with the left. So far, rather low key, but doubt not, the slime will start oozing more and more. Be prepared. They are our Hamas, and sooner or later.........

This boycott will have zero effect.

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 suppose that is what qualifies as controversial today>
I'll still go to Home Depot. Why not?
