Langone, who voted for Trump in 2016 and gave him credit for improving the economy, the president said “exhausted everything” when he tried to reverse the results of the 2020 election. “Biden is the president,” Langone said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“Last Wednesday was an embarrassment and should never have happened in this country and if it doesn’t break every American’s heart, something is wrong,” Langone said, referring to the siege on the Capitol. ‘It sure breaks my heart. I did not sign up for that. ‘
The billionaire said he is going to focus on supporting Biden in every possible way.
“I’m going to do everything I can from day one to make sure I can do my part to make Joe Biden the most successful president in the country’s history,” he said. “If he’s a great, successful president, we all win.”
Langone said the country is facing “major problems”, citing the pandemic, mounting debt, crumbling infrastructure and an underfunded public school system.
“This is the American people who are using Trump as a sign to express their anger and disgust at the system,” he said.
