Question to posters who are expressing their outrage and condescension toward
all liberals regarding this topic: I ask if you know that the boycott tactic and bullying methods are favorites of Donald Trump?
Before and after becoming president he repeatedly advised consumers to snub companies and labels, he says, have harmed him or ignored him personally, or have somehow interfered or opposed his administration's agenda. For example:
He slammed Macy’s, when they dropped his failing clothing line after he called all Mexicans rapists in 2015.
He targeted Apple after hounding them to release the cellphone information of citizens following the San Bernardino shooting.
Last year, he gleefully announced plans to boycott Harley-Davidson when the motorcycle company said it would move some production overseas because of his steel tariffs.
He went after Megyn Kelly on Fox when he told his Twitter followers to boycott her show.
He told customers of AT&T to drop their service in an effort to bully CNN to improve its coverage of him.
Then we have Nike and the NFL, etc.
Harley-Davidson and AT&T were done with his presidential power in an effort to inflict damage on private companies. So were the NFL and Nike and many more. Of course now he has a changed tune, saying its unfair to penalize a company because a company supports him.
According to some, on this forum, and to Donald Trump: Corporations have a right to use money to influence voters and policy. But consumers and voters do not have a right to use money to influence corporations?
