"In his new book, jerk, jr. writes about a visit to Arlington National Cemetery before his father's inauguration and compares the sacrifice of the soldiers buried there to "all the sacrifices we'd have to make to help my father succeed."

Makes one violently nauseous, he does.

Mitt Romney's family considered his 5 sons riding on Daddy's campaign bus to be the equivalent of military service.

Who took Trump's place?

But the company is a retailer, after all.

I don’t ascribe too much motive to the firm in this regard.

Book tours and signings are handled elsewhere, thus Dimwit Jr showing up on “The View” the other day.

Who had nothing to do with this decision?

I’m embarrassed. I think their heart, if not their head, was in the right place, but that is not who we are.

Also, I’m glad this disgusting Don Jr anecdote is getting the attention it deserves.

Does Costco Wholesale make political contributions or provide other political support?

As a company, we respect the choices our members make, so we do not take positions on social issues, we are not involved in partisan politics, and we do not contribute money to political candidates or issues.

When you visit a Costco warehouse, we want you to feel welcome. And, after gathering much feedback, we have found that the majority of our members appreciate the fact that our atmosphere is devoid of politics—so we strive to keep it that way. Your comfort and satisfaction is our No. 1 priority.
