It’s not just First Lady Melania Trump who’s having trouble cashing in on Donald Trump’s presidency.

BuzzFeed notes that four more retailers have stopped selling the clothing line produced by First Daughter Ivanka Trump amid “lagging” sales of the brand.

Retailers Belk, Jet, ShopStyle, and the Home Shopping Network have all stopped selling Trump’s fashion line this week, just days after retailers Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom announced that they would also stop carrying it. As BuzzFeed notes, there has been a concerted campaign called “Grab Your Wallet” to get retailers to stop selling Trump’s clothes, although the Home Shopping Network tells the publication that its decision to dump the brand was a financial one, not a political one.

“At HSN we are non-partisan and our product decisions are based solely on a continual evaluation related to our business,” a spokesperson told BuzzFeed.

1. Yah, it's all non-political....wink, wink!

Gotta thank all those who took part in this protest as it proves: Resistance Works!

2. Went shopping this weekend at Lord & Taylor...

and saw an Ivanka Trump boutique on the main floor. I turned around and left the store without buying anything. Spent $750 on my spring wardrobe (necessitated by losing more than 20 lbs when my allergy meds were switched - yay!) at a small local shop instead.

4. Congrats!!

On BOTH counts, the weight loss and the avoidance of tRump crap.

[MANative]

8. Thanks! I feel so much better with the new meds, too.

[leftynyc]

5. May I suggest

you email L&T and let them know they lost out on a nice chunk of change and why.

[MANative]

7. I am planning to do that today! I do need to be a bit careful...

as they are one of my company's clients, but I think I can manage something appropriate.

21. You could always take a page from Julia Robert's line in "Pretty Woman."

"Big Mistake! Big! Huge!" but put into words they would understand from their leader...

"Bigly mistook! Bigly! Yuuge!"



ETA: Congrats on the weight loss and the new meds. Last time I tried new allergy meds I had an asthma attack and a minor anaphylactic attack. Needless to say, not taking those meds any more!

[MANative]

23. Thanks!

I've sent them feedback using my "literary" identity. (Long story!) Can't connect me to my company!

[niyad]

12. yayyyy for you!! for the weight loss, and for supporting local businesses!!

[MANative]

15. Thanks!

It's been stunning how quickly the weight came off as soon as I stopped taking steroid-based allergy meds. My sister and I both have numerous food/chemical allergies, and many of them were previously misdiagnosed or not broad enough in their scope. New tests helped enormously and we've both seen terrific improvements in our health. Very happy about that, even with a more restricted range of foods available. Lots of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and seafood. NOTHING prepared/boxed - allergies to the preservatives they all use.

Local shops had nicer clothes. A little pricier, but good quality stuff that will last more than a few months.

[niyad]

17. I am so glad that you are finally getting the right meds--and treatment. hey, even without

the allergies you mentioned, the diet you listed is good (having a weird allergy myself, pretty much all boxed, prepared, convenience food is basically out.

yes, good quality lasts far longer --I shop the sale racks at good stores, and thrift stores. amazing what one can find there.

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. I gotta know more about those allergy meds

and what you switched from and to......
seriously.
feel free to pm me if you do not want to post openly

[MANative]

22. Was taking prednisone...

which bloats you, makes you hungry, etc. (And compounds the problem if eating things that are allergy triggers, which is exactly what was happening!) Very effective, but brutal on the body, especially long-term. Now taking albuterol. While the elimination of prednisone has definitely made a big difference, I think that the change in diet has had a wider impact. By eliminating the intake of allergens in the food, I no longer need the steriodal meds.

[dixiegrrrrl]

29. Oh...I know of that stuff. Thanks...n/t

[Alice11111]

27. Wish you could let Lord and Taylor know they lost your business

I always loved that store. One of my friends found the perfect shoes for a wedding, noticed they were Ivanka's, and said she would rather have her feet hurt. She bought something else.
Congrats on 20 pound loss!

3. When you lose the Home Shopping Network....

It's over.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Trump supporters can't afford tRump-branded over-priced kitsch or hotel rooms. Others boycott.

The Trump brand is toxic in the USofA.

Works in Russia.

[KatyMan]

9. Getting slapped by the

invisible hand of the free market? Good.

[Afromania]

10. hmmmm

I predict a sharp downturn in sales until they reveal the new state, and voucher, mandated school uniforms brought to you by Trump brands. Because they seem to like ripping other folks ideas off the uniforms will probably include fashionable shorty shorts, arm band, fashionable leather satchel with pen and notepad (you know, to keep track of those bad Americans) and a bolo tie emblazoned with that strange valor crest thing he likes to sit in front of and sign shit.


I mean I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist or anything... wait, never mind already did.

[niyad]

13. sadly, I think you have something there.

[jeffreyi]

11. Yay for the good guys

[Aristus]

14. I guess the world leaders are going to catch a break from angry-Trump for a while.

He's going to be too busy ranting about all the retailers who are dropping his mistress's product line. And there are more of them all the time...

[wordpix]

16. I am LOVING this! Next, Trump hotels and golf courses---boycott!

[meadowlander]

18. Good. No company with a shred of integrity should be doing business with a President

who is profiting from his office.

We should put pressure on companies that participate in the corruption as well as on the White House.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. And we should let the companies know we appreciate their dropping Trump clothes, etc. n/t

[spiderpig]

25. Yep - nothing like a good old case of public shunning.

There's one sure way to get under that orange skin:
#0

[nikibatts]

24. Good.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Fuckface Von Pussygrabber will get revenge for this.

He will harm many because of this.

Which is part of the war we are in, has to be done.

[Ilsa]

28. 45 is handling this wrong. He should say she shut it all down,

that it was her idea and the stores are following through on her business plan.
