Boycott Home Depot!! That’s the reaction from the unhinged left who read a headline and flipped their wigs. You see, Bernie Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot just announced he will be giving millions to Trump’s re-election campaign.
“The Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus is an avowed supporter of US President Donald Trump, and that seems to be costing the home-improvement store at least some customers.
The billionaire sparked an online backlash when he recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he planned to donate to the president’s 2020 reelection bid. Marcus said that while he didn’t “agree with every move” Trump had made, the president had still “produced more than anybody else.” He added: “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.””
On cue the outrage machine swung into action. People took to Facebook and Twitter with their tantrum. Home Depot supports Trump! This must not be allowed! Boycott Home Depot!
Return anything Home Depot! So we must not shop there, but by all means, muster up enough courage to step foot into one of those EVIL Trump-loving stores long enough to get your money back.
Bernie is a guy who has given millions to charities around the world, opened a major autism center, a trauma center and more. In fact, he plans to give away up to 90% of his fortune before he passes away.
However, none of that is relevant according to those on the left. He supports Trump! Boycott!
Furious @HomeDepot shoppers say they're boycotting the store and cutting up their cards after one of the home-improvement retailer's founders said he'd donate some of his fortune to Trump's reelection campaign.#BoycottHomeDepot https://t.co/kWKX33Si9U

They do realize that, even if they cut up their Home Depot credit cards, they are STILL responsible for any balance remaining on said cards? Eh…probably not.
Hey @hgtv this is another one of your sponsors & please just go with @Lowes instead of @HomeDepot from now on because you’re my self-care #BoycottHomeDepot #ImpeachTrump https://t.co/jQjCbBcbQs

Home Depot was a safe space? Why didn’t anyone tell me that there was a Pause Pod stationed in the back corner of the garden area for anyone who needed it?!

There’s a small problem with #ResistanceTwitter’s boycott. Bernie Marcus RETIRED from Home Depot over 15 years ago!
“”Bernie retired from The Home Depot more than 15 years ago and isn’t speaking on behalf of the company,” Home Depot spokeswoman Margaret Smith said in a statement to The Hill. “In fact, as a standard practice, the company does not endorse Presidential candidates.””
Those darned pesky FACTS just got in the way of the Home Depot BAD! narrative. Oops.
Here’s another fact that will be cause for fainting in the plumbing aisle. Arthur Blank is the co-founder of Home Depot. He is also involved in politics, but donates to Democrats. So, which half of Home Depot should be boycotted?
Bernie Marcus’ philanthropy and politics have been well known for years. As recently as two weeks ago he slammed Bernie Sanders socialism.
He’s right, the economy and entrepreneurship will hit the skids if Bernie gets anywhere NEAR the White House.
Back to the farcical boycott of Home Depot. The left is loudly demanding we shop elsewhere, even Lowe’s (which they don’t know how to spell) or Menard’s, and doing so without facts.
Once again for all those wandering aimlessly around the Home Depot lighting section: Bernie Marcus is no longer running Home Depot and hasn’t done so for over FIFTEEN years!
Always fun to watch a boycott fizzle before it even has a chance to mean something.

Scott says: Now Nina, you know darned well that the idiots on the left have, and will NEVER let facts get in the way of their narrative, or their virtue signalling.. They have no ideas, no sense of personal responsibility, and no morals whatsoever, so none of this should surprise anyone.. ( I know it didn’t surprise you)…
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder!
Nina Bookout says: Very true! But it is great fun calling them out when they face plant like this. 😉
Scott says: Too true… I always though that clowns dressed / behaved the way they do in order to get people to laugh at them… So why should these clown be any different?
GWB says: because you’re my self-care
Hoo boy. She can’t get through her day without her HGTV?
Home Depot was a safe space?
Hey now! Don’t mock! I feel very safe in the section with the garden chemicals and lawn/hedge trimming equipment. I feel safe when I can hit my attacker with nerve toxin and then chop at him with hedge shears.
White supremacist CEO
Well, another word/phrase that has totally lost any meaning now, because of retards on the left. *smh*
Arthur Blank is the other co-founder of Home Depot.
Minor fix, for clarity.
The left is loudly demanding we shop elsewhere, even Lowe’s
Here’s the fun bit. *conspiratorially waves everyone closer* Lowes donates to Republicans by large margins:

*throws head back and laughs maniacally*
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… *breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(That link is from a Twitchy thread on this topic, “‘Excuse me, on which aisle can I find the FACTS?!’…”.)
Skillyboo says: The only thing these leftists calling for a boycott buy there is cement to put in milkshakes that they throw at conservatives.
AlbertaJake says: Oh come on, it is painfully obvious that Home Depot is evil. Just look at their logo, it’s (wait for it…….) ORANGE!!!!
JAG says: Time to get a Home Depot charge card. Call it a ‘negative’ boycott.
370H55V says: I prefer Lowe’s to HD, but have done lots of business with both. My purchase decisions are not based on politics, although this incident makes me more likely to tilt to HD.
