90 year old Home Depot founder to continue to support Trump

https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/bernie-marcus-plans-to-donate-majority-of-his-fortune-trump-re-election

“[Trump’s] got a businessman’s common sense approach to most things,” Marcus said. “…Now, do I agree with every move that he makes? No, I don’t. But the truth is he has produced more than anybody else. He has. If we look at this country, I would say that we are better off today than we were eight years ago or six years ago.”

Marcus said Trump’s biggest flaw is his communication skills.

“I’ll tell you what he has not done well: His communication sucks. I mean he takes on every battle. He’s fighting. He does things he shouldn’t be doing,” he said. “As president of the United States, I’d rather him do things that are meaningful.”

We have a Home Depot right by our house. I drive a little bit further to buy my home improvement goods at a store NOT owned by a right wing nut.

Although is Lowes any better? I'd shop at Ace but their selection pales to what my Home Depot has.

But it is a testament to why the government should take most of these one percenters' wealth when they die...from an avowed lefty.

He doesn't have a problem with Trump being a rapist, or a thief, or a liar, or a fraud, or a traitor and actually believes the country is better off than before the amphetamine-crazed sociopath descended on DC. He just doesn't like his communication skills...so f*ck him and all his offspring as well.
