Nordstrom Stock Price Jumps After Angry Trump Tweet

[Initech]

Normally, witnessing backlash to backlash is about as riveting as watching paint dry, but this week has featured some interesting responses to the one-man callout culture that is Donald Trump. President Twitter’s attempts to take down Saturday Night Live have done nothing to dampen its hot streak of politician impression sketches, the latest courtesy of Melissa McCarthy. In fact, SNL’s hit a 20+ year high in its ratings, though it still must bow to the geeky tyranny of The Big Bang Theory.

The Associated Press has another heartening example of weathering Trump’s bluster. Nordstrom’s stock is up after a brief dip following—what else?—a tweet from the 45th president that accused the retailer of being “unfair” to his daughter. No, not Tiffany (it’s never Tiffany). That would be Ivanka Trump, whose fashion line was recently dumped by Nordstrom for low performance. While advocating for the First Daughter, Trump didn’t commend her fashion sense or business acumen—he just reminded everyone that she might be the only thing that prevents him from sinking into Sauron levels of evil.

1. LOL, "It's never Tiffany"

I hope Tiffany doesn't resent the fact that Donald barely remembers her. It's probably better for her in the long run.

2. He could probably pick her out of a police lineup
