Nearly 400,000 People Call On Macy’s To Dump Donald Trump



A grassroots campaign for Macy’s to end their association with Donald Trump has caught fire. Nearly 400,000 people have added their name to a petition on Signon.org for Macy’s, which exclusively sells Trump’s clothing line and fragrance, to dump the controversial businessman.

Trump gained prominence during the 2012 election for relentlessly promoting the discredited conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the United States. He vocally maintains that Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery.

On Tuesday, Trump tweeted that the election results were “a travesty, a total sham, a disgusting injustice” and “urged Americans to march on Washington.” He claims global warming is “a concept created by and for the Chinese to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” Trump also promotes dangerous conspiracy theories about vaccines.

Macy’s touts themselves as a “socially responsible” company. Nevertheless, they have continued to embrace their relationship with Trump and will prominently feature him in its holiday Television ads.

He doesn't care. As long as he gets attention from it he sees it as a win. It is just another lie on a pile of lies (like how he pretends he never went bankrupt). Any negative thrown at him he spins it. If Macy's drops him he'll say he is happy because no one shops there and they did him a favor (which would be funny since his daughter also has a fashion line there) or some other bullshit.

That is why he will never actually run for president (just pretends like he would). He stands for nothing. Everything is just a cry for attention.

oh for sure, not disagreeing with you there. i'm just saying that it should have consequences, he can't just say this shit and not give a fuck. it should cost him business and poorer sales, like what'll hopefully happen with macy's.

Hopefully this will catch on and force Macy's hand.
