In a series of Twitter posts, President Donald Trump offered his support to Home Depot and its co-founder, Bernie Marcus, after some people said they would boycott the home improvement chain following a statement by Marcus that he would donate to Trump’s reelection campaign.

Marcus recently said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) that he would donate part of his massive fortune to Trump’s 2020 campaign. According to Forbes, Marcus has a total net worth of $5.9 billion.
