Imagine you have a business...how would you feel if you were targeted by the OFFICIAL POTUS twitter account. This is a big deal.
Ivanka Trump is not an employee of the government. She is a private citizen. President Trump has every right to comment on this.

Trump is punishing companies that dare to drop Trump brands in order to enrich himself and his family. This is extreme crony capitalism. Companies now have to constantly take into account Trump's attitude when making decisions about Trump brands. This is third word authoritarianism. Whats so great about this?

She's claiming $150 million in damages to her future business prospects as a result of being FLOTUS. She may be hard pressed to prove she is worth anywhere near that.

Ivanka's stuff has been dropped not only by Nordstorms, but also Neiman Marcus, and Macy's and Belk's are next. Lack of sales not politics. I believe her fashions are still available at Walmart.
wearing her label has become a political statement , frankly Nordstrom makes it's money from the left "coastal elites' if anything dropping her makes it clear to consumers that while these companies may or may not dislike Trump, they certainly are not fans....


Trump has awful ratings, they will never be strong in the wealthy democratic cities and surrounds, as such only a foolish CEO would want ties to Trump. He is a financial albatross.

Took a screenshot from @POTUS


This is the official twitter page of the President of the United States followed by 15 million people around the world.

This appears to be the first tweet on this page that is about his family business affairs-totally inappropriate.

Also, he made the comment on his personal account.

So this is fake news.
It was retweeted by the official @POTUS account, reserved for official state business.

He approves and directs everything tweeted from @ POTUS.

He crossed the line, once again.

In the world of alternate facts:

Trump voter chooses not to believe real facts = fake news.

President Trump does not have every right to do so from the POTUS account. We have laws on the books to protect from this kind of executive overreach.

You do realize that Nordstrom is benig targeted by the POTUS, not Donald Trump, in this case, yes?

That is a very big deal. And a huge conflict of interest violation. And a terrible precedent to set.

Yeah like he cares about what a real "private" citizen does This private citizen happens to be her daughter at least this is what the tweet says and include a private company name that he is blasting.
