Sales of Ivanka's fashions dive and force her to end her fashion company.

[BigmanPigman]

"...sales of the Ivanka Trump brand, on the websites for Amazon, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and others, fell 27 percent in the year ending June 2017, compared with the previous year. In the year ending June 2018, they fell another 55 percent."

"A hashtag campaign called #GrabYourWallet had been urging people to boycott retailers that sold Trump family–connected goods. People particularly targeted Nordstrom for stocking the Ivanka Trump brand, and by February 2017, Nordstrom had dropped the line, a decision it described as being “based on the brand’s performance.” Soon, President Trump was tweeting that Nordstrom had treated his daughter “so unfairly,” and his adviser Kellyanne Conway was telling viewers of Fox News to “go buy Ivanka’s stuff,” adding, “I’m going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today, everybody; you can find it online.”

15. I don't think so

The U.S. Code is very specific about nepotism, and that even the President is subject to the prohibition against hiring relatives or close family members (including in-laws). Trump has gotten around this prohibition by claiming that Ivanred, Don Jr., and Eric are not being paid for their invaluable work for the administration.

That certainly may have changed once people stopped looking quite so closely at the arrangements, but the last time I checked, the White House was dodging the prohibition by not paying the help.

under other designers' names. I guess that didn't work, either.
