Nordstrom drops Ivanka Trump-branded clothing and shoes

Nordstrom will stop selling Ivanka Trump’s name-branded line of clothing and shoes, a company representative said Thursday.

The change followed a weeks-long boycott campaign, organized by an anti-Trump activist group called “Grab Your Wallet.” The group demanded the department-store giant cease doing business with the president or his family.

In a statement, the Nordstrom representative said that Ivanka Trump products were being dropped because of poor sales. Its statement did not mention the group’s boycott effort.

“Each year we cut about 10% {of brands} and refresh our assortment with about the same amount,” the statement said. “In this case, based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season.”

I haven't been in a Kwik Trip for years, and it will be a cold day in hell before I buy Sargento cheese. I'm from Wisconsin.

at least be some kind of poetic justice to have his biz empire crumble. Although he will probably twist that to "I wasn't there to run it."

Saw a pair of Ivanka's shoes marked down at Marshall's the other day. Took the right one and hid it among other shoes.

and I'm equally thrilled to see anything associated with the Trump brand placed into the bargain bin.

"Weak and failing department store Nordstrom has dropped my beautiful and hot daughter Ivanka's amazing clothing line. What kind of name is Nordstrom anyway. Sounds like a name for immigrants. They should go back to making Swedish meatballs. Sad!"

more sensible, I applaud their efforts. If they are getting rid of Ivanka's line because of complaints they've received, I applaud their efforts. If they are getting rid of them because they're cheap crap from China, that's good too.

If it's for this reason:

“The cause and effect here is very clear,” Coulter wrote in an email message Thursday evening after Nordstrom announced its decision. “Over 230,000 Tweets and who knows how many millions of dollars’ worth of missed purchases later, they finally heard us.”
then I say YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
