President Donald Trump has defended Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus after shoppers threatened to boycott the company over Marcus’s plan to back the president’s re-election bid.
President Trump took to Twitter to respond to the backlash, describing the Radical Left Democrats as “vicious and totally crazed.”
“A truly great, patriotic & charitable man, Bernie Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot who, at the age of 90, is coming under attack by the Radical Left Democrats with one of their often used weapons,” Trump wrote in a tweet.
“They don’t want people to shop at those GREAT stores because he contributed to your favorite President, me! These people are vicious and totally crazed, but remember, there are far more great people ('Deplorables’) in this country, than bad. Do to them what they do to you. Fight for Bernie Marcus and Home Depot!” he added.
He continued, “More and more the Radical Left is using Commerce to hurt their ‘Enemy.’ They put out the name of a store, brand or company, and ask their so-called followers not to do business there. They don’t care who gets hurt, but also don’t understand that two can play that game!”
During the interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he said that he may not agree with every move Trump makes but he believes the president has “produced more than anybody else.”
“He’s got a businessman’s common sense approach to most things,” Marcus said. “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.”
Along with Marcus, many other prominent figures and commentators came to Marcus’s defense.
