Just happens to be his daughter's line though. "Unfair!" It came immediately following his daily security briefing. I guess this was the most important issue facing the world.




Nordstrom Says It Told Ivanka Trump Last Month Her Line Would Be Dropped

President Donald Trump hit back at Nordstrom on Twitter on Wednesday morning after the retailer said it wasn't buying his daughter Ivanka's clothing line for this season — a decision Nordstrom said it informed her of in early January.

"My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom," Trump wrote. "She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!"

"This is a direct attack on his policies and her name," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer later said of Nordstrom's move.

The tweet was sent at 10:51 a.m., 21 minutes after the president's daily intelligence briefing was scheduled to start.

Spicer said the president was "free at the time" when he tweeted.

The official Twitter account of the president, @POTUS, also retweeted the posting from his personal @realDonaldTrump account.

The blowup comes six days after Nordstrom announced that it would not order Ivanka Trump's collection this season. The luxury department store chain denied that the move was in response to a #GrabYourWallet campaign orchestrated to get the stores to stop carrying the Trump brand in protest of her father's policies.

"We made this decision based on performance," a Nordstrom spokesperson told NBC News in an emailed statement. "Over the past year, and particularly in the last half of 2016, sales of the brand have steadily declined to the point where it didn't make good business sense for us to continue with the line for now.

"We've had a great relationship with the Ivanka Trump team," the spokesperson continued. "We've had open conversations with them over the past year to share what we've seen and Ivanka was personally informed of our decision in early January."


Other retailers have recently stepped back from carrying Ivanka Trump's products. Neiman Marcus has stopped selling her jewelry on its website. TJ Maxx instructed employees Wednesday to toss Ivanka Trump signage into the garbage and mix her clothes in with their regular sales racks, The New York Times reported.

Trump's tweet appeared in the middle of a news cycle that has Trump's travel order on majority Muslim countries facing a skeptical federal appeals court. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, and her Democratic colleagues were also catching air time as they objected to Warren's being silenced in a Senate debate.

It will likely draw fresh attention to concerns over potential entanglements between Trump's family businesses and his presidential power.

Nordstrom stock price has been up since the announcement.

Ivanka was dropping the brand anyways:


Ivanka Trump herself announced she would leave her eponymous brand, after her husband was appointed senior adviser to the White House. The Ivanka Trump brand did not respond to our inquiry, but issued a statement on Feb. 3 that read, in part: "We believe that the strength of a brand is measured not only by the profits it generates, but the integrity it maintains."

This is about the best publicity Ivanka T could get. Free advertising. I'll bet millions didn't even know she had clothing. Now they will go check it out. Those not selling her clothing line will be on the losing end.

Why would Trump family merchanise be selling quickly at Macy's but slowly at NS?
Two and two don't add up.

Godforbid, if few years from now if NS had to close most of its stores due to decreased traffic, who would they blame for that?

I'm sure that he shouldn't be. And I was also sicked by the Obama's appearing on fluff TV like Ellen and Conan O'Brien. And I didn't like Laura Bush going on Rachel Ray. Presidents and first families should be...well...presidential. It's a disgrace. If presidents want to be Kardashians then they should skip the salary and just get paid on endorsement deals.

[jmdrake]

A broken clock is right twice a day. When Trump does a douche move, posting about it is indeed a service. And I felt the same when it was Obama and Obama did a douche move.

Zip never posted about Obama's bad moves. Zip only posted glowing labor reports and such from 2008-2016.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Zippyjuan again." Too bad so many "liberty supporters" want to run posters who don't support Cheeto Mussolini out of town. Trump is not a liberty candidate, has major position stances that Ron Paul would never support which is why Ron Paul refused to vote for him, and has never supported the liberty movement.

So fvcking what? It's a bitch move to complain that when someone posts negative about Trump because he didn't post negative about Obama. Are you posting negative about Trump? I don't monitor people who post negative stories about Obama to see if they are "balancing" them with negative stories about Trump. All I care about is whether the story is true or not. And in this case it turns out it's true. Trump did a douche move tweeting about his daughter's business when he is POTUS. If it's not illegal it should be.

You are indeed stupid. I already explained to you, that I care about the truth more than the source. I'm not a silly punk who is carrying Trump water. And Zippy isn't "my source" dufus. In this case Trump is the source. It's Trump's tweet. Now if you can prove the tweet is fake then by all means do so. But if your only complaint is that it is Zippy posting it, then you are making a complete ass of yourself.

I believe Zippy to be a real person. I don't trust him any more than I trust you. And I don't trust you. Zippy is a troll and as far as I'm concerned you are one too. If you post something I'll look at the source that you posted from and decide without any regard to whether or not I think you are a troll to decide if the story is credible or not. I treat Zippy the same. What are you doing right now is a textbook ad hominem attack. You're attacking the messenger (Zippy), because you don't have a legitimate attack against the message (Donald Trump inappropriately used his influence to go after a private business on behalf of his daughter.) What Trump did in this case isn't just wrong, it's downright scary. If Obama did it I'd be just as concerned.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

JMDrake,

You probably don't care what I think, but I think you are an excellent poster here. I like reading your religion forum posts. You said you went to some college in Alabama or Tennessee and I can see where those insights are valuable. I like a lot of your other stuff. That invitation I made to you awhile back might have been corny or whatever, but it still stands. You are also welcome in my house any time.

The trolls are are succeeding in exactly what they have set out to do. They love to see the bickering here. That's one of their goals, among other things. All I am asking is to ask yourself why they are here. I don't have a beef with genuine members on here. If the trolls are going to regularly troll people here, then I am just going to give it right back to them. You are free to read it or not, but I will keep posting it.

Thank you. I apologize for losing my cool. This is really where I am. Trump does indeed get attacked at times for illegitimate reasons. I just posted a thread defending Trump's deportation of the woman who was the SSN ID thief. But stuff like what he did with his daughter's business needs to be called out. I'm appreciative of whoever brings this forward. Zippy and Iclashed years ago over 9/11 truth so I am not a fan of his.

Yeah. I noticed. I usually stay out of it. But what Trump did in this case really really concerns me.

[Jamesiv1]

And Trump uses the fvcking National Inquirer as a media source.
Forget the 2-headed alien babies...

When the story has to do with war and politics, the National Enquirer is probably closer to the truth than your average mainstream media source.

Corporatism = fascism. Mussolini, the father of fascism, stated as such. Trump abusing the bully pulpit of the presidency for direct financial gain is a new low to an alarming trend. Yes Dick Cheney's Halliburton connections were concerning but I don't recall Bush or Cheney ever doing something so brazen. Don't forget that Trump also thinks that asset forfeiture and eminent domain for private business are "wonderful" ideas. If Trump cuts spending but then forces you to sell your family farm for pennies on the dollar so that one of his buddies can build a strip mall, then what?
