One reason that Under Armour sales seriously slumped is because their CEO said that "Donald Trump is a great asset", and those who buy sporting apparel by Under Armour looked elsewhere. Their sales are still way down. You can easily research this by looking it up.

Trump has the Midas touch, everything he touches turns to sh**.

So nobody at the company actually said anything about Trump . And the real reason for the closing is this. '
The closures come as Connecticut-based private equity firm KarpReilly, which infused Taylor Gourmet with a reported $5.6 million investment in 2015, pulled out of the company.
The story is complete fake news.
Trump Derangement at its finest.

I used to feel that way too, but now ... nope. I’ll do business with those who don’t vote for traitors, thank you kindly.

Trump ain’t no freedom of association fan. His main two issues are in favor of restricting trade and immigration.

If he’s for trade restrictions, he should approve of my policy of restricting trade with all people who approve of him.

Imagine the hubris it takes to open 17 sandwich shops in the DC area and then have your picture and video of you shown nationally meeting with Donald Trump. The District of Columbia gave over 90% of its vote to Hillary Clinton, and then voted with their pocketbooks by avoiding Taylor Gourmet to the point where they announced they're out of business, as of tomorrow.

Donald Trump, the kiss of death, strikes again.

Nothing wrong with that.

I’m certainly not a Trump fan, and even I don’t buy this one.

What a crock of baloney.

It's a good bet that you wouldn't have given a Fig Newton had anyone you do business with supported Barack Obama. I guess you didn't read his books--he's not exactly steeped in Americana.

As for your rude response to your hairdresser, that said more about you than about her, and none of it good.

Proof, yet again, about just who the tolerant ones are.

That's capitalism. People will vote with their wallets. I guess the lesson here is, Trump ain't good for business.
I live in a very red rural county. Several well established local businesses had no problem deciding to put Trump/Pence signs out in front during the campaign.

To this day I have had no problem deciding to shop elsewhere ...
