There is a lot of nonsense being posted in this thread.
I used to work for Macy's. Macy's has been struggling for well over a decade now. When I last worked for the company in 2008, it was already in dire straits.
I am convinced that a large part of the reason why Macys and other department stores are dying is the Walmart Effect. An entire generation grew up being indoctrinated with the idea that unless it's priced at rock bottom rates, it's not worth paying for or it's a ripoff, no matter the quality. Either it has to be $1 or it's a no go. Naturally, a generation like that isn't going to go to retailers like Macys or Victoria's Secret (where things a little more pricey) and spend $12 for two pairs of well made underwear if they could just buy a four pack of "irregular" imported cotton panties with loose seams for $5 at Walmart or some other store.
Trump's fault? You can bet if they were hiring 5,000, he'd be taking credit for it.
Macy, the first to trash/bash Trump but learned faster than anyone how much that boomeranged back.
Not just people buying online as some will claim but mostly upset buyers who rather buy else where. We are not boycotting Macy but if we can find the same elsewhere then out of support to the President, we will buy elsewhere.

CEO, shareholders and others who actually are involved with Macy's likely haven't given that so called "boycott" a sustained thought.
As noted and repeated several times in this thread, Macy's along with other large department stores have been going through problems for years, long before His Orangeness arrived on the scene.
Online retail has been eating the lunch of brick and mortar for a good decade or more. As technology has improved (movement away from PCs to mobile devices) shopping online has become so much easier.
Macy's (formerly known as Federated Department Stores), has been trying to right itself for years now in response to changes in trends and the market place. The future of retail is clearly online with perhaps smaller physical spaces. Those big barns of stores in malls and or other locations increasingly are surplus to requirements.
Macy's has been in a decline for some time now. I noticed a while back they didn't seem to have good buyers anymore. I don't know what they look like on paper, but I see more people in Nordstrom.

There in lies the rub...
Macy's has become a crap company and is swirling the drain with Sears and JCPenney.
Even the downtown Cincinnati store is closing.
It was not such a good idea to do away with the regional store names and rebrand everything as Macy's, they should have kept Lazarus, Shillito's, Rike's and L.S. Ayres.
Maybe General Motors should change it's name to Cadillac and put a Cadillac emblem on the Chevy Sonic too.
Trump tweeted about the US Post office charging too cheap for items being sold at Amazon...if shipping was more expensive people might shop at brick and mortor stores
They still sell everyone else's crappy, made-in-third world-countries clothing.
But, hey, at least we all know how you feel about third-world-countries--whose people have to eat, too, you know.
Feel free to call me out on my hypocrisy when I go around claiming that I'm going to "Make America Great Again" and that everyone needs to "Buy American Hire American."
Oh, that's right, that's the offshoring Trump and his complicit daughter who are pocketing extra cash while depriving Americans of jobs.

He or she quoted my post, which explicitly did mention tweets and said that was like Obama. So yeah, big back at you for trying to pretend that wasn't in the reference
