Summary
Home Depot co-founder and GOP megadonor Ken Langone blasted Trump’s sweeping tariffs as “bulls–t,” calling the 10% across-the-board rate and country-specific hikes—like 34% on China and 46% on Vietnam—“too aggressive” and poorly calculated.
Langone criticized the administration’s formula, based on trade deficits, as nonsensical.
Other prominent figures, including economists and billionaires like Stanley Druckenmiller, Bill Ackman, and Elon Musk, have also spoken out.
Critics warn the tariffs hinder negotiation and lack sound economic grounding. Langone said Trump is being “poorly advised” on trade policy.
So he got conned by a con man. You know what you called people who got conned? Suckers and losers.
Sit back, and watch your shit get wrecked by the man you thought you’d purchased.
That’s the power of the Home Depot.
“These tariffs are affecting me, there for they are bad and wrong! He should have calculated them in such a way that didnt affect me, personally!”
You funded him, get over it
Yeah, founder of home Depot can go fuck himself.
Also don’t shop at home Depot, he might be gone but the company still donated heavily Republican compared to most other hardware stores outside of Menards.
I hate that I can’t avoid them entirely in my area except for nuts-and-bolts type things, which I go to my local hardware store for. Home Depot and Lowe’s have a monopoly in my area when it comes to most goods, but I had to give up on Lowe’s entirely due to the truly terrible customer experience.
(Home Depot has a bad customer experience too, but my local Lowe’s is on a different level.)
Yeah, I simply choose bad customer service over more money donated to Republicans.
Thankfully around me there’s an Ace hardware that is locally owned by people who aren’t publicly political so that’s my go to.
It’s great that you have that option. Really makes it easy for you
Unlike HitlerPig, this Sociopathic Oligarch is a smart businessman, and he knows that much of his inventory’s cost is about to double.
Now he has a Sophie’s Choice - double his retail prices and watch his sales crater, or reduce his profits, OR, the more likely choice, try to walk a tightrope between them, raising costs as much as he can without losing too much business, and absorbing the rest by a reduction in profits.
Any of those choices are going to have a negative impact on the stock price, and he will be deemed responsible, even though none of it is his fault, and all of it is directly attributable to HitlerPig’s virtuosic dumbassery.
It’s definitely partially his fault. He just thought he wouldn’t be the one getting hurt.
Trump is the result of what the capitalists have done to the population since Reagan.
If you’re a billionaire who profited off gutting taxes, the commons, schools, etc while propping up for profit media pushing pro business lies like climate change is a hoax to line your own pockets, this is your fault.
As much bloody murder as Kenny here is crying, he isn’t suffering a tiny fraction enough. He should be in a secured mental health facility to treat his antisocial hoarding disorder for both his and our safety.
I often talk about these Sociopathic Oligarchs as mentally ill hoarders. If anybody collected cats like these guys collect money, they’d lock them up, but somehow these deranged people get worshipped for hoarding money they will never, ever need, even at the expense if destroying the entire country.
if he was smart, he shouldnt have donated to a known con-man.
Uh, don’t make me tap the sign…
You got what you voted for dipshit. Zero sympathy.
Sorry no take backsies. You bought an idiot, deal with it like the rest of us you schmuck.
Isn’t this the same guy that wants to charge for parking in Home Depot if you don’t buy something in their store?
This is standard practice in most supermarkets and even shopping centres that are located in higher density city centers in Europe, because otherwise nobody would be able to find a spot to park…
Tough luck rich guy. You wanted it so you could go back to your fantasy of the past. Now he is shitting on you like he promised to do and you helped pay for it. schadenfreude
I find it particularly funny that he says Trump is being “poorly advised” on trade policy. You are already at the stage where the Czar is never to blame, it always falls on the Noble advisors at his imperial court.
I see it more like saying his handlers ought to be handling him better. Maybe the people who Trump is supposed to serve are having trouble with that. I do hope so. If his wealthy backers turn against him, he won’t last long.
I swear I saw an undertaker measuring Musk for the casket. Even he’s got to realized he’s being set up as the fall guy. Before the year is out, he’ll be propped up for display in the town square for everyone to revile (and be distracted from the real fascist).
FIGURATIVELY
“Why the fuck are you stupid leopards eating my face?!I bribed good money to have them eat the poories while I laughed!”

Every goddamn conservative parasite in this country needs to carry the stain of Trump until the day they die. Any time any one of these blubbering fucks tries to speak they need to be reminded of what their diseased worldview got us.
Don’t argue with them, don’t attempt to reason with them, just remind them how badly they absolutely fucked everything from here on out.
