On March 5, 2019, the Gish Gallop published an article positing that Home Depot had announced it was sponsoring 127 miles of U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Some readers may have confused this bit of fiction for a genuine news article because Home Depot's co-founder, Bernie Marcus, is a Trump supporter. Social media users called for a boycott of the store in July 2019 when they learned that Marcus, who retired more than a decade ago, was supporting Trump's 2020 reelection bid.
