Marcus Lemonis is a very successful businessman and the entrepreneur is probably the most famous for the camp world.
Here is a small bio:
Marcus Lemonis (born 16 November 1973) is a Lebanese -born American entrepreneurs, investors, television personality and philanthropist. He is known as Camping World, Good Sam Enterprises, Conder RV and CEO of House Boardshop.
Adopted as an infant by a Greek couple in Miami, Lamonis grew up in Florida and developed an early interest in business. After graduating from the University of Markvat with a degree in political science and criminals, he entered motor vehicles and RV industries. His leadership in Camping World converted the company into the largest RV retailer in the US
Lemonis was widely recognized as the host of CNBC reality show “Benefit” (2013-2021), where he taught his own philosophy of focusing his own money to struggle in small businesses 3 P: People, Process and ProductsTheir style mixes hard love with mattership, giving them both praise and criticism.
Beyond trade, Lemonis is active in philanthropy, donation for education, disaster relief and entrepreneurial initiative. He is known for his clear views on leadership, morality and corporate responsibility.
But he actually hit my radar when he brought back President Trump in 2017.
do you remember that?
After the infamous “very good people” cheating, Lemonis responded to cheating on the inscribed value and originally asked all Trump supporters to “do not shop in any of my stores”.
I remember this quite clearly, and since then I had not had a huge opinion of Lemis.
Here is a quick summary:
What did Marcus Lammis really say (August 2017)
But August 15, 2017President Trump, while responding to Charlotsville violence, said:
“You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people who had very good people on both sides.”The next day, during a CNBC interview, Lemonis expressed that he was “frightened” with the administration’s response. Discussing how some CEOs were cautious about taking a stand, they accepted the fear of backlash from customers.
When asked about customers’ reactions, lemon said something with lines,
“No doubt … if they are [in favor of what has been said]Quite clearly, do not shop in my business. ,
This quote was immediately raised in the headlines:
“Marcus Lemonis: If you say what Trump said, do not shop in my business.”However, later clarification made it clear that this framing was extremely widespread. Lemon was No All Trump supporters are asking to stay away from their businesses – rather, he was addressing those who specifically agreed with Trump’s Charlotsville comments.
Lemonis herself issued an explanation, emphasizing:
“What I said is that if you were fine with what happened in Charlotsville, what was said and what was done, I am not right with it.”
Despite receiving the comment, he stood by his position.
But all this changed today when I heard a new interview with Glenn Beck.
Lemonis cleaned some things …
First, he clarified that he knew that (as we all do) said that President Trump never said things that MSM tried to claim and that is why we now refer to it as “very good people”.
Second, he said that any intelligent person should continuously be taken to new data and change his opinion when it is appropriate, and he said that he said that he was basically what Trump is doing in this second term and he has been very impressed and he speaks broadly that he is doing a great work.
Glenn was surprised and happy to hear this update and so I was

“I was wrong.”
Bed baths and beends @marcuslemonis It tells me that his views on Trump were flipped after seeing the efforts of the White House to see the business.

Transcript:
You started saying yesterday, “It’s not about politics.” And I just want to tell that you are not a supporter of Trump. Um, you know, in 2017, you came out, and I am not going through it because you were ahead and recovered and everything else, but you know, you criticized that what Donald Trump said in Charlotsville when it was thought that he said, “Hey, and Nazis too,” and we do not know that we do not know and we do not know that we can’t know. Can
But you came out, as a complete butt of the other CEO was loaded, and said, “If you believe so, we are not necessarily shopping here.” So, it is not that you are doing this because you are a big trump supporter. When I saw your name connected to it, I thought, “No, no. It’s about business,” because it is not on both sides on it.
Yes, I am not on both sides. Is that accurate? But I will tell you- yes, it is accurate from a historical point of view. This is not accurate from a modern day point of view. I think as time is passing and the facts have been detected and things have been played out and steps have been taken by this administration that I think I think there is an advance business and takes the American citizen forward in such a way that I think I have been put back on track, I would say that I feel very different than today.
And this is not really an emotional response, it is just a wise reaction to see what the administration is doing to end the business – not for the loss of a worker, and not for the loss of anyone, but for the benefit of capitalism in our country and the benefits of investing in American business.
And, you know, just as a reminder, Glenn, you and I met a long time ago when I was Benefit In CNBC, that my second business is giving world camp. And I have gone through hell and trying to protect the flag from the same kind of ideology that I am looking out of California, which, “Your flags are very big.” They are not approved, and anyone who does a little research will see that cities have sued me, cities have threatened to take me to jail, and the flag is still not down.
Therefore, what you will find with me is that I try to be really practical. I am also a resident of Chicago, and if anyone wants to preview the film of what is going to happen in the city of New York, then come to my apartment on Michigan Avenue and I will give you preview of what has happened and how socialism is crushing not only my personal property but other businesses.
Therefore, I would say that as soon as someone becomes clever and becomes a big and one learns and one hears, you develop into a human form. And I want to make sure that we are clear about it.
