His Nordstrom tweet may open him up to a lawsuit.

[JudyM]

Norm Eisen, who served as the chief ethics lawyer for the Obama White House and who is working with CREW, suggested on Twitter that Trump’s comments gave Nordstrom standing to sue him under unfair competition laws, particularly California’s state law, which protects against any business practice deemed “unfair,” “unlawful” or “fraudulent.” While the president is generally shielded from lawsuits over his official conduct while in office, that blanket protection does not apply to his private or business conduct. Nordstrom, however, would need to be able to show it was harmed economically.

Interesting alternative to getting at him through the Emoluments Clause!



Pity that a lawsuit vs *45 won't take Bannon off course, as well.

Business Practice Law,challenges this Slug.

2. I think that Nordstrom

would have a hard time showing it was harmed, by the Tweet as it will probably increase it's business, but who knows. It might make a case that it's "brand" has been damaged.

3. It would be amusing to see Trump as his lawyers try to sell

the position that Nordie's benefitted from Trump's animosity towards them. More tweets!

5. Exactly, Ilsa! "You can't claim reputational damage when in point of fact it helped your brand."

6. CNN said that Nordstrom stock went up 4% today!!!

I hope that stuck in 45's craw!
