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.”

Maybe up to an inch. Certainly not 11 inches. That’d be an oops.

Exactly. Why call for a boycott of Home Depot when Marcus has nothing to do with Home Depot these days? He's not the CEO anymore.

So many people in this country now are appallingly ignorant.

“Maybe up to an inch. Certainly not 11 inches. That’d be an oops.”

Of course, it all depends on the width and thickness of the solid edge. With a standard interior hollow-core door I’d not want to cut more than 1/4” off the width on each side. But, that’s just me.

A boycott of Home Depot by black gang bangers and white liberal ‘elites’? Yeah, that’ll put a dent in sales.../s
