Home Depot Stock Dips Amid Trump’s Fixture Comments
Home Depot shares experienced a modest decline during Wednesday morning trading following former President Donald Trump's remarks about gold fixtures in the White House. TRUMP explicitly denied using Home Depot products during a Fox News tour with Laura Ingraham, stating "This is not Home Depot stuff" when questioned about the origin of the Oval Office furnishings.
The controversy traces back to earlier observations that WHITE House fixtures resembled commercially available products. While side-by-side comparisons showed striking similarities to Ekena Millwork appliques, Trump maintained he employed his "gold guy" for custom work. The clarification failed to buoy HD stock, with investors apparently unmoved by the presidential decor discourse.
