Are you guys following this story. If it was sad it would be hilarious that our president uses his official twitter page to whine about Nordstrom dropping his daughters line from their store.

My hubby was watching the news this morning (we're in Canada) and heard about this. So silly!
-
@Mrs. Goose: very silly and its also breaking ethical rules especially with kellyann conway promoting ivankas products....
-
He retweeted his personal tweet from the official POTUS account. What a complete jackass. I don't understand how this isn't a breach of ethics. Along with ALLLLLLL the other things, like the fact that he's still booking official events and leasing space to the Department of Defense in Trump-owned properties. How is that not a conflict of interest? WHY ISN'T HE IMPEACHED YET?????????
-
@littlebug: yeah it makes no sense. if obama had done even one of these things he would have been impeached immediately. his supporters always point out how "crooked hillary" was bending the rules in her favor but not a peep from them now
-
@Mrsbells: The hypocrisy is astounding.
-
Kellyanne Conway also told everyone to buy Ivanka's clothing on Fox News. His entire administration needs an ethics lesson. I wish more of the GOP would stand up and say this is not okay. To be fair, some are, but so many of the rank and file are going with the flow.
-
Are they really those greedy and idiotic or are they trying to distract us from something else?
-
It is beyond absurd. I mean if Obama did anything even half as bad...
How ridiculous that the guy "making America great" is trying to punish an American company for removing products made in China. Because by them doing so is hurting American jobs? Ugh he is so disgusting and the conflicts of interest are out of control. I never shop at Nordstrom but will go out of my way to do so the next time I need to buy something. -
yeah its all mind boggling how he is getting away with this
-
yeah, sorry, no matter who you are - if your clothing brand isn't sell, that's how the market works. tough shit. she'd probably be taking it in a mature way too - but her father is acting like she lost a prize in elementary school and causing a riot.
1) he's insanely immature.
2) it totally backfired on him. nordstrom stocks ROSE
3) um, conway actually broke the law promoting that. so let's see if she actually sees consequences.his administration is a joke.
-
@sorrycharlie: Yes to everything you just posted! So glad I'm not the only one that feels this way!!
-
It's completely ridiculous. Nordstrom's actually usually has decent prices and sales (plus free returns!) I say buy from them more often! lol.
-
What kills me is the hypocrisy from those who were worried about corruption among the Clintons, the fact that her brands are all made in other countries, and the fact that he's supposed to be a business man. Shouldn't he get that if a product doesn't sell, you don't keep it on the shelves?
-
I don't own a single IT piece, not even shoes.
Now, I think 45 behaved like a father in this instance , not a POTUS. The best meme I read this morning was along the lines of the job president is trying to shut down an American company because of declining sales of his daughter's made in china clothing.
And either charge Conway with something or stop talking about it. She doesn't wear IT either, her inauguration coat was Gucci, right? She won't stoop to a mass market brand.
-
If Kellyanne Conway was in my agency she'd be suspended without pay and potentially fired.
-
I'll be honest -- if I liked something and then saw it was Ivanka's brand, I wouldn't buy it. I'm guessing other people feel that way, hence the not selling. It's all ridiculous, but I just read about a congressman suggesting low-income students sweep floors at school to earn lunch, so nothing really surprises me anymore.
-
@MrsSCB: wow I am really saddened by what this country is becoming.
@Pollywog: Yeah I cant understand why she gets away with the things she does and flat out lying
@Dahlia: Yes!! Hypocrisy at its highest
@NorthStar: yes definitely i feel like shopping there more just to show my support -
@MrsSCB: It was a few years ago (2013), but yeah, Jack Kingston (representative for congressional district in southern Georgia) had the freaking gall to suggest that students should work for their subsidized meals. Because that's what children need, to feel even more ostracized because of their economic status over which they have no control. Heartless bastard.
-
@pwnstar: Oops, you're right -- pitfalls of Facebook, the article was from 2013. But still shocking. Like God forbid we give children, who already are struggling, free food. I better get my son started on some chores, that kid eats for free all the time
-
@MrsSCB: I can't even imagine the callousness it requires to think of something like that, let alone to make public statements as an elected official in support of it. Insanity. It makes me tear up as a parent to think of any child being hungry, let alone being publicly humiliated by people who are supposed to care for them and protect them over a simple meal.
-
@MrsSCB: I do that with any celebrities brand though...Jessica Simpson has cute shoes, but I refuse to buy it.
-
@pwnstar: yes, it is so depressing to know people think that way.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I wore a Jessica Simpson dress for my engagement photos
It was cute!
-
@pwnstar: wow. Someone very close to me grew up with no food aside from free hot lunch at school, some kids really depend on it, as you said, through no fault of their own.
-
@MrsSCB: I bet it was!!
-
@Greentea: I never want to think about that being any child's reality, but I know that it is. Damn. Makes me want to save ALL.THE.KIDDOS. Life is hard enough--feeling safe, feeling loved, and having a full belly should be a given.
-
And his wife is suing for potential lost profits for a non existent brand.

@Maysprout: yes I saw that on the news later! I have to train myself to care less about what they do but its just so infuriating. meanwhile people post such gushing messages of love to the trump family on social media. Its disturbing the blind adoration people have for him
-
@Mrsbells: yeah, I don't want to go around with anger on my shoulders but at the same time I do file these stories in my brain bc I need to keep motivated to make sure the next election isn't like this one and my conversations have stories to back them up.
-
@Maysprout: yes very good point!
