President Donald Trump used his bully pulpit on Wednesday to attack Nordstrom, which is one of several retailers that has recently announced that it will stop selling his daughter’s clothing line.

In a tweet sent out Wednesday morning, Trump complained that Nordstrom had treated daughter Ivanka Trump “so unfairly” by dropping her fashion line from its stores.

on behalf of his daughter.

This guy needs to be impeached NOW.

This is completely inappropriate. The man doesn't not understand the law, the constitution, or decency.
