Trump's critics said that the president has, again, used his position to threaten businesses in an unfair and perhaps illegal manner. Norm Eisen, chief ethics officer for President Obama and co-founder of the organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, D.C., broached the idea of a lawsuit.

"Outrageous," Eisen tweeted. "@nordstrom, others injured should consider suing, incl. under CA Unfair Comp Law, forbidding "any unfair biz act." I will help!"

The tweet came from both Trump's personal account and his official POTUS account, the latter development also drawing criticism from ethics lawyers.

In past months, Trump has used Twitter to criticize car companies for plans to move operations overseas and defense contractors for product costs; he also urged consumers to buy L.L. Bean products after a member of the Bean family was accused of making excessive contributions to a pro-Trump political committee.

3. only one member of LLBean family has supported Trump

Rest of them seem to be sane, boycotting entire company may be excessive.

2. By leaning on Nordstrom

he's surely also leaning on all the other Trump product distributors.

They can play ball or they can be lambasted by the President.

It may backfire on him though.

8. Yes, he's sending a message to all of them. This is so wrong. n/t
