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.

Something with a leopard and faces.
Yes, I had to double check forum.
Lmao, billionaires are feeling something. Make Billionaires Feel Something Again (anger and helplessness).
oh fuck that guy with a 2x4 of Home Depot quality
Hey, hey, we want it to hurt not feel like a piece of cardboard.
Those things are practically circles, this would be grotesque and entertaining to watch
He worked to build Home Depot and now Trump is using tariffs to pump & dump the stock market for his and his cronies gains. Business owners, who provide product, service or goods are not in on the pump & dump.
So now they are experiencing the leopard first hand.
For what it’s worth it won’t matter in the end
What the fuck did he think he was paying for? I feel a little bad for the poor magats who have been propagandized from the get, but this wealthy asshole? Fucking fuck fuck shit fuck him.
What I don’t understand is why haven’t these billionaires showed Trump the video yet?
Ken Langone is behind Autism Speaks
I don’t have much sympathy
If only there was some way to have known.
Home Depot got a Home Despot
Old man yells at Old Man
Pow, straight to the wallet!
No surprise he waits until it effects him to speak out about the psycho he helped put into office.
huh, here I was told republicans are good with the economy
Trump got jealous of Erdoğanomics and now also wants to get an economic strategy named after him.
Dang. Hope this anger doesn’t give the old fuck a heart attack.
