I am not a Trump supporter but this is completely unprofessional, classless and disgusting

NY Jewelers Get Ivanka Trump Order, Donate to Clinton | NBC New York

"We're happy to let you know that the proceeds of your sale have been generously donated to The American Immigration Council, the Everytown for Gun Safety organization, and the Hillary Clinton Campaign," said the note, which was posted with the hashtag #thanksbutnothanks.

It was an $84 purchase. No retailer should publicize who bought what without that customer's consent. I'm sure it's against the law - prepare for totally justified Trump lawsuits.

The business owners got their business lots of free publicity from NBC and many other outlets by writing a note and politicizing Ivanka's little $84 purchase from their business. It pays to be a jerk these days.

It will cost them more than $84 in lawsuits and loss of business. I wouldn't buy from store that names customers, publicizes what they bought, and makes personal comments.

I support Clinton and think Trump is a clown, but this kind of grandstanding garbage is the sign of a sick society, IMO. It's like everyone is looking to pull some stunt to make themselves look holier than thou in social media.

I agree.

It's extreme immaturity.

On a side note, Interesting that Ivanka, despite having millions, spends only $84..It shows she is financially responsible. Compare that to the gaudy $12,500 outfit Hillary was caught wearing...

Maybe it was just a little thank you for a staff member.
