Marcus, a longtime donor to the Republican National Committee, according to federal election records, was an early supporter of former President Donald Trump.

In one of his last interviews in November 2023, Marcus spoke with FOX Business Senior Correspondent Charlie Gasparino in a wide-ranging interview in which he exploded President Biden’s economic policies for exacerbating the price increases faced by consumers.

“I never anticipated anything like what we’re going through,” Marcus said of Biden at the time. “I wake up every morning and say, ‘What’s this bastard going to do today?'”

“He’s cut drilling, he’s caused inflation, inflation has caused every other problem for every businessman, for every American,” Marcus said. “And the people he’s supposed to represent — the poor people, the middle class — are going to be killed today.”
