Home Depot Co-founder Endorses Trump

Donald Trump Lands a HUGE Endorsement from another Legendary Businessman


"Donald Trump is widely regarded as on of the greatest luxury real estate developers of all time. Today, Trump lands a high-profile endorsement from the founder one of the greatest retailers of all time. In a new Op-Ed piece “Why I Stand with Donald Trump” Bernie Marcus, Co-founder of Home Depot endorses Trump.

Why I Stand With Donald Trump
By Bernie Marcus

As a backer of former Republican presidential candidates, I now stand in support of Donald J. Trump because the fate of this nation depends upon sending him, and not Hillary Clinton, to the White House.I know Donald Trump, but we’re not close friends. However, I believe he will begin on Day One undoing the damage done by President Barack Obama. I stand ready to help him at every turn.

Like many, I am deeply concerned about the US Supreme Court. When Trump recently released his list of potential appointees, I grew confident in his resolve to keep our court balanced. Even more important: Clinton will push the court leftward for generations. She must be stopped."

He let his lots be used for Bush rallies. I stopped going there long ago if it can be avoided.

Gosh, Mr. Marcus, it's too, too bad that you had to do this just as I was shopping for a new lawn mower. And I was in your store on Wednesday comparing features and prices. Now I'm going to have to shop your competitor. Well... sucks to be you.


Of course, it kind of sucks to be shopping for lawn mowers when that's TWO major home improvement stores I won't go to. (I won't shop at Menards, either. John Menard is a piece of work. ) Did you know that there are push mowers (PUSH MOWERS!) out there that cost more than a thousand dollars!?! It's insane.

At least it did for me in 2007. I shopped at Lowes across the street the whole 2 months I worked at HD.
