He added: “Now, do I agree with every move that he makes? No, I don’t. But the truth is he has produced more than anybody else. He has,” Marcus explained. “If we look at this country, I would say that we are better off today than we were eight years ago or six years ago.”

A hashtag #BoycottHomeDepot quickly began spreading on Twitter Tuesday, with many users saying they would turn to Home Depot competitor Lowe’s instead.

The billionaire former executive has reportedly contributed $7 million to Trump’s 2016 campaign. He also donated large sums to many philanthropic causes.
