On the surface, the Trump administration found a creative way to help a large and struggling U.S. manufacturer in a hard-hit city — Rochester, N.Y. — by potentially providing capital to transition into producing chemicals for pharmaceuticals.

When Donald Trump had dinner with Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus at the White House on Saturday, word of the get-together quickly reverberated across the president’s political sphere.

The 91-year-old billionaire is a longtime backer of former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, and Trump operatives were suspicious that a move was afoot to bring the smashmouth populist back into the fold.
