Consumers who want to boycott President-elect Donald Trump now have a tool to make their financial protest easier: a free smartphone app. Created by the Democratic Coalition Against Trump, the Boycott Trump mobile app provides a complete list of companies that are affiliated with Trump and his businesses.

"This app is a first step in our larger Boycott Trump campaign, which will feature a unified grassroots movement centered on holding companies and individuals that help Trump in any way accountable," Nate Lerner, executive director of Democratic Coalition Against Trump

The app lists more than just businesses that Trump owns. For instance, Starbucks makes the list for having stores in the Trump Towers, and a handful of retailers (e.g., Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Macy's and TJ Maxx) are on the app for selling Ivanka Trump's clothing, shoes and accessories line.

"The campaign is all about empowerment ... By doing so, we aim to give people a safe and productive way to voice their disapproval of Trump," Lerner told the Huffington Post. "We've accepted Trump won the election but that doesn't mean we have to accept everything he stands for."

I mean if there was a good chance of crippling Trumps businesses I'd support it; if it is mostly a symbolic gesture than it's one that is personally expensive for me and I am not keen on it.
