My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

[spanone]

1. a bully has got to bully! maybe their stock will go up?

[2naSalit]

2. ...

[dalton99a]

3. So Ivanka pushed him to run for president

[George II]

42. No, she pushes him to do the RIGHT thing, and that definitely wasn't right.

[tanyev]

4. Pushing him to do the right thing? There's a Sisyphean task.

[tenorly]

43. Yeah.

Must be almost as hard for her as keeping his hands off her.

[randome]

5. Almost there! Just a little more!

[Freethinker65]

6. I thought he does the "right thing" because of GOD?

So Ivanka is his moral compass (every time he pops a tictac he thinks about her) and Bannon is his brain.

[PearliePoo2]

7. There's no end to it, is there? It's every single day..no make that

more like every fucking hour, starting with 3 am tweets.
Question: Does Nordstrom have legal recourse here? Isn't he trashing a company over a business decision they made?

[The Wielding Truth]

14. I would think that Norstrom could sue if they suffered from Trump's action.

[niyad]

32. don't forget--businesses doing as they please only applies when they do as donnie and the

pukes please. liberal businesses, or any business making a free market decision they don't like are evil.

[logosoco]

39. It has piled up these last two weeks! Wow!

I seem to have a fuzzy recollection of the first Bush saying he did not like broccoli and a broccoli farm taking a truck load to the White House.

(does this sound familiar to anyone else? something along those lines?)

The whole thing is the President is the president of all the United States and they have to appear as such in public. To criticize a business, especially one that has roots in America is not okay. Unless perhaps they were wantonly poisoning people or something.

[C_U_L8R]

8. It's simple Donald

No one is buying your bullshit. Or shitty products.

[Tanuki]

9. "Want to give his name? We'll destroy his career."

http://www.nbc-2.com/story/34447865/trump-offers-to-destroy-texas-state-senators-career

Yesterday Trump tipped his hand about going after, by name, persons or entities he wants to "destroy." I hope Nordstrom's sues his ass into oblivion.

[Kber]

10. Nordstrom stocks high quality name brands

Trump just didn't make the cut - maybe she'd have better luck at Kmart?

In any event, I thought you and Ivanka were stepping away from your businesses, so what's it to you, Donald?

[wordpix]

11. just tweeted a thank you tweet to Nordstrom

[PearliePoo2]

12. Nordstrom shares briefly drop after Trump tweets daughter, Ivanka, was treated 'unfairly'

Isn't this abuse of power?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. I think they will recover.

I can't afford to shop there myself, but I hope those who can, will. And tell them why.

[ProfessorPlum]

13. Is it "Terrible!" that Ivanka is always pushing him to the right thing?

or that Nordstrom isn't carrying her line?

And why would he need a "push" to do the right thing? Doesn't _he_ want to do the _right_ thing all the time?

Asshole.

[Tanuki]

16. She's not having much luck. She needs to push a lot harder.

When has he ever done the right thing?

[logosoco]

41. Good points! His speech is rather confusing.

[grantcart]

53. "And she is pushing me all the time to do the right thing"

Push, push, push, nag, nag, nag

He admits that he isn't inclined to do the right thing.

His lack of self awareness is really something to behold. He would be an opposition lawyer's nightmare in a deposition.

[MFM008]

15. Tough shit

Eat it maggot.

[spanone]

17. don, great people can make shitty products.

[BSdetect]

18. And the GOP remains silent.

Imagine if Obama had made such an abusive misuse of his office?

Silence gives him your consent McConnel and Ryan.

I expect you to do nothing as you are turds in suits.

[yuiyoshida]

19. How many previous Presidents publically

abused their power like this? zero.... he is breaking all kinds of glass ceilings.

[anarch]

20. and? I mean..."business president;" what did anyone expect?

I'll be very surprised if there isn't some kind of legislation to funnel public funds directly into the family bank account. I mean overtly, in addition to what's already going on.

Honestly, this whole situation is more or less the ascendency of organized crime...the last, desperate power/wealth grab by the mobsters, oil billionaires, and associated robber barons. I don't believe it will stand, in the long run--none of it is sustainable, and I think the oligarchs know that, which is why they've largely dropped their pretense of "democracy" and just gone as full-on fascist and authoritarian as possible. They're trying to consolidate as much wealth and power as possible because they know there's a sea change coming...maybe sooner than later, thanks to their nihilistic greed.

Will most of us live to see it all go down? Probably not. I'd think this will all play out over the next 300 to 500 years, and it's almost a coin-flip as to whether we're headed for a technology-driven socialist utopia, or a descent into endless strife and destruction. Humanity will either adapt, or perish.

jeez, sorry, that's an over-the-top comment as far as these crass capitalist shills promoting their own self-interest...but I think it's related.

[bluescribbler]

46. It won't take that long

I'd think this will all play out over the next 300 to 500 years

Read The long Emergency, by James Howard Kunstler. He describes what likely will happen when we run out of oil and also hit the dreaded 2.5 degrees C temperature rise. Civilization as we know it will not survive, nor will the United States. It could be a hundred years or it could be less.

[randome]

21. Isn't this a legal violation of his business divestment?

Making public statements to increase his family's earnings? Sounds to me like a case could be made.

[Scarsdale]

22. Ethics

They are non existant in the tRump family. Ivanka steals designs from others, since she does not seem to have any original ideas herself. The thought of HER giving advice to working mothers is a joke. What the HELL would she know about normal women, working and raising families? Nannies, servants, housekeepers all take care of the daily chores. Her daddy told her she is "hot" and she believes it!

[Cryptoad]

25. Morals , too, are non existant with them,,,,,,,

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. nice wording - it is terrible that her daughter pushes him to do the right thing, it seems!

[hamsterjill]

24. Nieman Marcus, Belk and others.

Have also decided against carrying Ivanka's crap. Consumer dollars at work.

Keep the pressure on!!!!

[Dawson Leery]

26. No company wants to be associated with a fascist.

The 30's are long past.

[jayschool2013]

27. What about Melania?

Will we never see the Melania (TM) line of butt-plugs and dental dams?

Oh, well.

[Chiyo-chichi]

29. How pathetic is it that the daughter of the President of the United States

has to push him to do the right thing?

[Skittles]

52. AND

exactly when HAS he done the right thing?

[Chiyo-chichi]

62. Exactly right... and more to the point.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. "That's the free market, snowflake."

The best tweet in response.

[Ellen Forradalom]

49. Truth.

[LaydeeBug]

31. Is this legal????

[TygrBright]

33. Not only that, he's doing it DURING HIS DAILY INTELL BRIEFING. n/t

[manicraven]

34. Too bad she didn't push him to stay OUT of politics!

[JustAnotherGen]

35. Too bad Donald

I'm going to head out to the Summit store this weekend. . . and that's that. I'm fixing to buy me something.

[Johonny]

36. She pushes him to do the right thing...when has he done the right thing?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. tRump wants the adulation & money, not the responsibility & hard work that goes with the Presidency.

[TubbersUK]

38. He just re-tweeted it from the POTUS account n/t

[George II]

40. How about all the other outlets that have cancelled the foreign-made garbage she's hawking?

[Docreed2003]

44. Fox News ticker implies that...

It's liberals bullying businesses into dropping Trump...can't make that crap up!

[blueseas]

45. I expected this and

Really he will keep doing this to everyone he dislikes.

[wordpix]

47. Congress now talking about tweet as conflict-of-interest issue

Old PO Bldg, Trump golf courses and hotels all over the world---not so much

[Ellen Forradalom]

48. Nordstrom's got my business

When I can afford it.

[Doitnow]

50. Flash! She's not succeeding.

[Skittles]

51. so now, AS PRESIDENT, he is pimping his daughter's crap

yet he called Hillary CROOKED

WHAT THE FUCK

AND SINCE WHEN HAS THAT ORANGE PIECE OF SHIT DONE THE RIGHT THING???

[grantcart]

54. Get a rec for use of the word "rec"

[jmowreader]

55. Apparently his definition of the right thing and ours differs

(Insert YouTube video of Iron Maiden's "The Evil That Men Do" here)

Note to the popular vote loser: successful companies do not do things that will piss off their customers. Only ones that go bankrupt over and over do.)

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

56. Minor but important abuse of power. No to mention another example of

his horrifically clumsy and poor language skills, as well as his self imposed martyrdom and endless whining.

Disgrace to the office. Insult to the nation. He is a very poor excuse for an adult, much less a public official.

[wcollar]

57. Nordstroms

No Nordstroms in my area, but will be shopping online this afternoon for a late valentine's day present for my wife.
Won't matter what I buy. She'll love the sentiment!

[Stellar]

58. You are Ivanka's problem A/H. 🙄

[klook]

59. Nordstrom shares up 2% on the day (as of 2 pm ET) -- Disgraceful!
