"Home Depot" founder Ken Langone told MSNBC on Tuesday morning that he believes Trump could be shaping up to be one of the best presidents ever:
KEN LANGONE: I can name you all the cars we drive, most of them are foreign now. They sell a hell of a lot more cars here than we do there. Our tariff was 2.5% -- that’s wrong.
CNBC HOST: Well, right now it’s 25% on top of the 2.5%.
LANGONE: Because he started—but I’m saying before. Look, I think it’ll settle in.
What he did in the Middle East with these deals. He’s making $3 trillion. These are real numbers. Look, let me tell you right now—I am sold on Trump. In fact, I’ll say this: I think he’s got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever.
CNBC HOST: That is a real turnaround, because you didn’t want to vote for him.
LANGONE: I told you the reason. I want to tell you—I’m a believer. What I’m seeing happening is absolutely nothing short of a great thing. And there’s a beat, people are walking with more bounce in their step—it’s all around.
CNBC HOST: I gave you quite a bit of grief when it was a binary choice. You were still complaining about Trump, and it was a binary choice. I was like—are you kidding me?
LANGONE: Knowledge implies one thing: when you made a mistake, admit it. I think this guy is turning out to be a president. One of the pilots on that miraculous trip to Iran—where we wiped out whatever the hell we wiped out, right?
He said, “You’re the only guy in the presidency that would have done what you did.”
One of the pilots said that. And you know what? He’s probably right.
