You should read all the post, in this short thread....if you would have, you'd seen that this was announced in 2016...well prior to trump becoming your president....

That's the place that use to sell Trump's apparel. As soon as they stopped selling it they went down hill.
Nope. They'd been going down hill for years. They've been filing bankrupt since the 90s (not sure if earlier than that even).
They've also had store closings for many years now.
But, here's the kicker. If you look at history, there's been department store closings for decades now. Hell, for decades, we've also seen the decline of shopping malls and centers.
This isn't new, and Macy's laying off people isn't because they stopped selling Trump junk. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I don't understand why either side tries to make this kind of stuff into a political issue. Things change over time and brick and mortar retail is a dying industry. At one time Blockbuster video and other movie rental businesses were a top performing industry. Try to find one now.
Amazon also has a bit of a cult following. They are smart to follow it as long as it holds Im not a fan of them but I don't get angry at people who use them. Amazon treats many employees abysmally but many here dont care.
Remember when?
Japan was going to rule the world in 1988?
Internet Explorer was the devil that owned all?
AOL was going to own everyone?
Microsoft was going to own the world?
...
there are still some like that. this place was even jam-packed throughout the worst years of the great recession. and 2 weeks ago i drove around the parking lot for 30 minutes before i could park my car.
You mean the days right before Christmas? Like that experience has been any different in the past 40 years?
They have very little worth buying, and can’t remain competitive. Macy’s is basically JCPenney with a small polo section. People who want nice things shop elsewhere, and people who want cheap things are better served with the likes of Target, Kohls or H&M. I know people want to blame Amazon, but the entire e-commerce sector is only 13 percent of American retail.
agree, I can't believe how down market they've gone. Besides thier atrocious web presence compared to competition, like you stated, they are basically a Kolhs or JC Penney with a cpl upscale items sprinkled throughout. They can't compete for mass affluent with Lord and Taylor Nordstrom. They can't compete with Target and Kohls on the lower end. Basically they're stuck in a useless tier all by themselves.
