Ken Langone, the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot and longtime business leader, expressed unprecedented optimism about the U.S. economy and political direction during recent remarks. “If I told you how bullish I was, you wouldn’t believe it. I have never been more excited about the future of America than I am right now,” Langone said.
Langone attributed much of his confidence to the current leadership in Washington. “Like it or not, [President Donald Trump] is getting things done,” he added, signaling support for Trump’s economic and regulatory policies.
Langone has previously supported both Republican and Democratic candidates but has praised Trump-era tax cuts and deregulation efforts. His comments add to a chorus of business leaders voicing renewed optimism amid strong stock market performance and pro-growth policy shifts.
While critics argue that Trump’s policies favor the wealthy and large corporations, Langone emphasized that economic momentum and long-term confidence are rising. His remarks reflect increasing engagement by prominent business voices in the 2024 political landscape.
