GOP Megadonor Laments Trump’s Tariffs
Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone, a major GOP donor, strongly criticized President Trump’s tariff policies, deeming them “bulls–t” and poorly advised. Langone specifically cited the 34 percent tariff on China and the 46 percent tariff on Vietnam as excessively aggressive and detrimental to negotiations. He questioned the flawed calculation methodology behind the tariffs, a sentiment echoed by other experts, including the economist whose work the administration cited. This criticism joins that of other prominent billionaires, indicating a growing concern among Trump loyalists regarding the economic impact of these trade measures.
