Home Depot owner Ken Langone, one of the nation’s most successful business owners, shocked CNBC hosts Tuesday by declaring that he is now completely in awe of President Trump.
Langone, who last year stated that he wouldn’t vote for Trump proclaimed “I am sold on Trump … I think he’s got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever.”
The stunned CNBC host noted “That is a REAL turnaround, because you didn’t want to vote for him!”

“I’ll tell you the reason…I’m a believer. What I’m seeing happening is absolutely nothing short of a great thing,” Langone responded.
He further urged, “And there’s a beat. People are walking with more bounce…I think this guy is turning out to be a [great] president.”
Langone has also flipped on Trump’s tariffs, noting “Initially, my concern was, I DON’T like tariffs…however, dammit, give Trump credit! His instincts are good! Some of these things need to be fixed!”

Langone further emphasised “When you made a mistake, admit it,” also revealing that he is in favour of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
“I was worried about inflation and the deficit, but I think it might trigger such significant economic growth that we could see tax revenues going up through the profitability bracket,” Langone noted.

Dear Home Depot Founder;
Every morning, my local HD parking lot in Concord, CA is filled with 100-200 illegal day laborers. Literally two of them standing between every parked car … looking ultra sketchy. And at the end of the day, when they aren’t hired … I watch them walk out through the Garden Dept. with armloads of expensive tools … without paying.
And everything of value in your store is locked behind steel cages that require me flagging down an “Associate” … who appears to always be in the Break Room when I need him … such that I have entirely given up buying certain items from your store … and just get them from Amazon instead.
And your “inventory loss” inflated prices across the board at Home Depot is pushing me to search out affordable options.
Good Luck with your current business model.
Of course he is sold on him because he is no different to the other rich pedophiles. A vote took place in congress on whether to have a vote on releasing the epstein files and only one republican voted for it. The whole US government is full of rich pedophiles and so is the white house including the president. One of the latest things was trumpstein saying the dems doctored the files, if that was true, then why are the dems not calling for their release. Now there is a special council to hide anything which will take years while making more pedophiles rich. Zion dons only out now is to try and actually start a major conflict
Tariffs are increasing revenue and encouraging vendors to find America friendly suppliers.
