By Kristine Guerra
February 12 at 2:12 PM

... Reuters reported Saturday that Sears Holdings and subsidiary Kmart will discontinue online sales of 31 items from the Trump Home collection ...

“As part of the company’s initiative to optimize its online product assortment, we constantly refine that assortment to focus on our most profitable items,” Hanover said ...

Hanover didn’t respond to a call and email from The Washington Post on Sunday. The Trump Organization also has not responded to an inquiry from The Post.

"Lampert is an avid follower of Ayn Rand[15] and has used elements of Rand's philosophy to guide his business decisions.[16]"

The shopper demographics for Kmart are far removed from the typical Trump supporter. Nordstrom (the brick and mortar stores including Nordstrom Rack) is favored by an older female demographic that would be more likely to support Trump.
