Billionaire Republican megadonor and Home Depot founder Ken Langone has ripped the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs as “bulls–t” — claiming the president has been ill-advised amid the raging trade war.
“I don’t understand the Goddamn formula,” Langone, a veteran GOP campaign donor, told the Financial Times on Monday.
“I believe he’s been poorly advised by his advisers about this trade situation — and the formula they’re applying.”

What is his problem?
Exactly!
his financial ox is getting gored
Langone needs to know what he’s talking about before he opens his mouth.
Those who are too stupid to understand how tariffs work and too lazy to go to the effort of finding out, need to keep their mouths shut.
His problem is his operation is tied into China.
He admits he doesn’t understand it but says Trump is getting bad advice. Yes. He should take advice from the guy who doesn’t understand why he can’t keep selling poor quality, cheap Chinese crap in his stores at the expense of the American taxpayer.
It’s a gamble ok? Still something’s got to be done. Trump supporters are betting on him.
He chooses Wall Street over Main Street.
Money over America.
Here is the formula, doofus.
You make chairs in your garage. So does your neighbor.
When you and your neighbor take your chairs at the local flee market, you are told at the door that all your prices are doubled and half of your proceeds go to the house. Your neighbor is not told that.
WHo do you think sells his chairs?
His problem is most of his inventory comes from China
Maybe botched.
Or maybe Trump told his team to come up with a formula that would give him high numbers so he could cut them in half to look gentle, but then still be high enough for negotiation.
We don’t go to HD at ALL.
We went shopping for appliances and was told it would be several days to get anything delivered as it would have to be shipped from a warehouse while Lowe’s had everything in stock for immediate delivery.
Different business models but Lowe’s worked better for us.
Uh, bingo
No, only those who put wall street over main street and those who prefer cheap slave labor goods over American made.
Another Wall Street pion, beholden to the international banking cartel, who prefers the status quo where America is enslaved to the globalist wealth transfer machine. “Free Traitor” A-holes, like this Schiff-4-brains butt wipe, don’t really give a crap about America’s future. He and his his Chi-com tool buddies would willingly watch the country burn to the ground, as long as they got to stand atop the pile of ashes.
big money was made in the old system. The new system threatens that wealth.
Home Depot - ya mean lesbo central?
I call the place “HOMO DEPOT.”
Wall Street’s Appeal to Greed.
Breaking free is going to be like a mouse getting loose from one of those sticky-traps.
America really needs to enforce the Monroe Doctrine on China - and fast.
The formula of POTUS Trump will cause the trading partners to go to zero while the US retains a small percentage rate of tariff to help payback the decades of trade imbalance caused by the trading partner.
Just hang in there. If Home Depot raises too much skank, I will switch to Lowe’s or a local supplier.
