He also retweets his messages about the "failing" New York Times, how NBC, CNN, and ABC are fake news, calling out Arnold for his poor ratings on the Apprentice, his "so called judge" comment... So many things that a president should not be saying.
Absolutely! He's still a producer on Apprentice, so his complaints may seem like he's JUST being mean, but what he's really doing is driving people who might watch that show to watch it.
And, it's likely working.
To put money in his pocket.
I mean, I could give him a pass for griping about the media on Twitter, even though I completely disagree. But, stuff that makes money for his family?
Nooooo.

These doubts of course were raised by all critics,( non cult members), of Trump's
before the election but I don't think his hard core fans will
ever think that he can do anything wrong or unethical.
I just don't see it happening, those people are so hell bent on winning
above all, that their eyes and ears are glued shut.On top of
that there is a lot of pride involved and that type of person is not
good at eating humble pie.
Remember , we have to look at what is in his heart!
LOL. Yeah.... I don't see why people think they could ever know exactly what that man is thinking. I'm not sure even HE knows.

You know what? I think it is sweet that Trump is defending his daughter.
Bless his soul, surely he knew there would be backlash, but he did it anyway.
Ivanka has been working hard at her business and after a few initial setbacks, seemed to have going concern with her stuff in Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy, Belks,... It's not easy to do, particularly when you have little kids.
Then her dad comes along with another one of his schemes and there goes her business.
I don't find much to admire in this delusional old duffer, but I kind of like that he stood up for her.
When it is all said and done, family is where it's at.
I could agree with this except for one thing...
I feel very confident that if this was Tiffany instead of Ivanka, there would be crickets.
That's sad.

Why is he wasting tax payer dollars and time on the clock as POTUS to slam business related to private affairs? Shouldn't this jack*ss be worrying more about things like N. Korea's ICBMs, SCS aggression, growing the economy, etc.? What a joke.
Companies SHOULD always "look out for their own interests" .... most particularly, when they are a publicly traded company with Stockholders. In this particular case - "their own interests" are that they are afraid of the Bullies that are attacking any Company that sells anything with the "Trump" brand on it. Last week, Nordstrom, Macy's and Neiman Marcus both announced that they would no longer be selling Ivanka Trump's clothing line. Now, four more stores--Belk, Jet, ShopStyle, TJMaxx and Home Shopping Network--are dropping it as well, citing "lagging sales." On the other hand - none of these stores can refute the figures that Forbes has provided.
Sales for the Ivanka Trump line of Women's Clothing and Accessories is UP 37% over last year. "Lagging"???
Not likely on a clothing line that generated $100 Million with that kind of month over month increases.
Net sales of just the clothing arm of the company were up $11.8 million during the first 6 months of 2016 compared to the first 6 months of 2015 as it sold its products online and at department stores, according to public filings from one of Ivanka Trump's major licensing and manufacturing partners. Forbes reported that Ivanka's clothing line generated $100 million in revenue last year, and sales were up $29.4 million from the previous fiscal year. The private company will not confirm specific sales figures, but do say their sales went up 37% last year, and that the growth rate has held pretty steady this year. And the website's traffic is up 50% over last year, thanks in large part to Ivanka's heightened public profile.
On the other hand - Stores in Malls are in a precarious position - they never know when the THUGS will decide to do a spontaneous "protest" with crowbars, bombs, bats and guns". They have been repeatedly threatened if they don't cease to sell "Hate Clothes". The Ivanka Trump label "triggers" them - I swear, you just can't make this stuff up.
#GrabYourWallet boycott.
Boycott organizer Shannon Coulter gloated about the "win" on Twitter.
These Snowflakes have a lot to "gloat" about -- they are VERY organized and have plenty of time-time-time to harass Commercial Establishments until they give in to the Bully Tactics.
My current understanding is .... the Boycotted/Harassed Stores have pulled the Ivanka Trump items from their Web-ites, the items are still sold in the stores. The #GrabYourWallet groupies won't be satisfied with that, these stores remain on the Boycott/Harass List as long as a single Trump item remains in any of their stores.
I spent almost 30 years in the Wholesale business - selling merchandise to Stores, Catalogs & the beginnings of online sales. In all those years of following these businesses and their buying/selling practices -- I've NEVER ONCE seen any store (much less 8), make a public announcement that they were "dropping a brand" (particularly one with that high Percentage of sales) -- and all of them do it at the same time???
And then they have the nerve to say "this isn't about Politics" - most of us are not that stupid. If it's not about Politics and it's not about Sales - then it IS about "I'm afraid of these Bullies and what they might do to us".
I should mention the stores on the Hit List for retribution that have NOT given in to the Bullies.
Amazon, Zappa, Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW), Dillards, Sak's. LL Bean made the HIT List and they don't even sell anything branded "Trump".
The Hysterical Meltdown continues ......... and escalates again.
So.... TL/DR:
You do not care that the POTUS used the official POTUS Twitter account to retweet his own, personal Twitter account tweet about Nordstrom and his daughter and their business dealings?
This in no way seems to be an inappropriate thing for a President of the USA to do?

The media had no problem (presumably because Nordstrom invited them to play up them dropping Ivanka's line for publicity purposes - I guess they only want rich liberals shopping there and also liked the 'free media time') in making sure the world knew that Nordstrom doesn't like Trump or his daughter and so much so that they are willing to give up sales to make their totally politically motivated point.
They were stupid because long term it won't help them - either the media or Nordstrom - but Ivanka is the DEMOCRAT in that family and IS pushing Trump as much as she can (and she has a lot of influence) to remember there are more than conservatives in the country. They aren't hurting Trump .. and Ivanka will be fine too. Nordstrom, the media and those who are acting like raving lunatics right now in support of either are just showing how petty they are.
Trump didn't violate anything. I am pretty sure there is nothing in the Constitution about him not being allowed to have a Twitter account or use it as he pleases. He is allowed to state his opinion. He gets no revenue from this. He has no business interest here. Stop the darned witch hunt. He simply stated truth.
You have got to be joking.
First off... Nordstrom is a private company and (as such) can feel free to disassociate itself with any other private company if it chooses. If Ivanka's stuff was making them good money, they would not have gotten rid of it. They are in it for their shareholders, after all. They saw an opportunity to drop an underperforming brand, all while earning some political good will from people who don't like Trump. That's fair in PRIVATE business.
A PUBLIC official cannot use the POTUS Twitter account to attack a private, US business. Come on.
