Trumps message was about bringing Americans together for the common good. Hillary's was hate and divisiveness. Her media manipulated followers are proving that right now.

As usual, I can not join the boycott (not that I want to anyway).
I looked at the list, and there are very few things there that I use on a regular basis. In fact, out of some 27 items, I think there were two that I use at all, and then not often.
It has been that way for nearly every boycott I have seen for at least five years!
All they are is futile posturing.

I looked at the list - most of us could not afford Trump products to begin with. Those boycotting Celebrity Apprentice sponsors are only hurting themselves not Trump - he's no longer affiliated with The Apprentice.

There's a call to boycott Fox - how many actually watch Fox that are boycotting - not too many.

Even people I'm friends with on Ebay are whining like 2 yr olds - please people this is not the end of the world - there are those of us that survived Obama - you all will survive Trump!.

Not sure that Trump really had any idea how damaging becoming President would be to his businesses, and his brands. All he was thinking about (assuming he was thinking at all) was how fantastic it would be to win, at any cost.

And so it begins. Trump's will watch his dynasty disintegrate under his feet, because the boycott of his brands has begun in earnest.

Any quick google search will find convenient lists of his brands, should anyone feel the desire to vote with their wallet. Here are a few.

Ivanka too. Stores are pulling her clothing line because of sales down and customer complaints.

He was elected by some haters - some scary- and people who were ignorant of is divisiveness. The FBI maliciously stabbed people's last hope for Hilly-- and thus is was so-

I want to see the connection of the FBI- Juliani and TRUMP.
notice NOBODY is asking--

You underestimate how violent some Trump supporters are. Before the election we were almost run off the road by Trump supporters because we had a BERNIE sticker on the cars. My SIL had one throw a bottle into his windshield. Not violence?

My daughter is gay and married to a woman. Besides all her rights be taken away during a Trump Presidency, she is also very afraid of being attacked now.

We now not only have Trump, but we have Paul Ryan agenda on the table. Pocket book issues. Seniors are now worried (did not know this?) about their "government dole" Social Security and Medicare.

Besides all the hate crimes starting against Minorities and LGTB, there will be a lot pocketbook issues, in my case SS and Medicare. SS will die a sooner death when younger people take a portion out to put in private retirement funds. I do not want some voucher instead of Medicare to give to any insurance company to make them richer. Yes, financial issues with a Republican controlled congress and President.

You have to look at the big picture. If everything happens as planned, you will not recognize this country in 4 years. As an old person, let me say this. You cannot relive the past. The Happy Days 1950's America are never coming back.

I've never bought a Trump product or patronized a Trump business so I'll just continue to do what I've been doing....not spending a dime on anything associated with that name.

Easy peasy.

Aww, that's so cute. Like the whiny little children protesting Trump were ever going to buy a suit or nice dress anyway. Unless Ivanka's like specializes in tie dye and burlap sacks I don't think she will notice.
