Home Depot co-founder and longtime GOP donor Ken Langone—once a sharp critic of Donald Trump—just delivered one of the most surprising endorsements of Trump’s second term yet.
“I am sold on Trump,” Langone declared live on CNBC. “I think he’s got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever.”
That’s a dramatic reversal from the man who blasted Trump’s rhetoric after January 6 and previously dismissed his tariff-heavy trade agenda as “bulls–t.”
But Langone, a self-made billionaire and Wall Street legend, says something’s changed.
LANGONE: “I am sold on Trump … I think he’s got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever.”
CNBC: “That is a real turnaround because you didn’t want to vote for him!”
LANGONE: “When you made a mistake, admit it.”
