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.

“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.
You got what you voted for dipshit. Zero sympathy.
Hahahhahahahahhahagahha
That’s what you get when you let the rich interfere in politics.

Well, you should’ve thought about that before you donated money to him.
Megadonor? More like Mega-simp.
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…
I get that, but I’ve gone to Home Depot to buy something expensive(in room ac), listed on their site as available, only to find none when I got there. I wouldn’t want to pay parking for what amounts to false advertising.
Oh I’ve had this happen, and the staff were attentive and asked me if I needed them to validate my parking.
It really depends where this is coming from, if its a global policy for all stores even if they don’t need it, it’s a dick move. If they apply it to only the stores where parking is a big issue, I can understand.
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
Hmm
So you’re telling me if a Home Depot burns down rn they’ll blame Trumpers?
Womp womp
Nice!
Ooh, someone’s mad because they weren’t on the insider trading group chat.
Trumps entire economic “plan” was to levy massive sweeping tariffs. He wouldnt shut up about it during the campaign, Harris kept warning that he was really going to do it, Trump kept insisting he was going to do it when surrogates attempted to soften his stance and now he is actually doing it. How stupid do you have to be to think he wasnt going to do the key part of his agenda?
Imagine being a billionaire and still being too stupid to understand cause and effect
Billionaires are not known for being smart
Someone missed the memo and didn’t buy the dip.
