Trump Supporters' Latest Cause: Fighting For Ivanka's Perfume
Chicago Tribune ^ | February 20, 2017, 11:57 AM | Darleen Glanton

Some of my Facebook friends hit a new low over the weekend when they got into a heated debate over Ivanka Trump's perfume.

It began when an obvious Donald Trump supporter posted this snarky bait:

"THANK YOU, HATERS: Ivanka Gets The Last Laugh, As Her Fragrance Hits #1 On Amazon!"

Apparently, Trump fans are claiming victory for taking Ivanka's 3.4-oz eau de par fume to the top spot on the online retailer's list of best-selling beauty items.

(Take that you liberal Nordstrom shoppers!)

My friend went on to thank the "haters" for encouraging Trump supporters to "even new levels of strength and fortitude."

As the comments poured in, it became painfully obvious that this debate was about more than perfume. Ivanka's virtue was in question.

Is she a "classy, intellectual, well-spoken" woman — traits Trump lovers evidently think she inherited from her dad? Or is she "a blonde liar" who tried to paint herself as a victim — another trait Trump haters suggested she might have picked up from her father?

In all honesty, it was the anti-Trump side that started this retail battle with its #grabyourwallet campaign urging shoppers to boycott stores that do business with the Trump family. Nordstrom was the first to announce that it would no longer carry Ivanka's brand due to poor sales. Neiman Marcus followed. So Trump supporters, many of whom are working class, fought back by buying up her less expensive perfume on Amazon.

Meanwhile, as regular Americans are battling it out on social media, the billionaire Trumps just keep getting richer. That apparently doesn't matter to Trump supporters who believe that he will make America great again.

In the product review section on Amazon, shoppers made it clear that their purchases are more about politics than perfume.

Haters always hate. There will always be something to hate about conservatives from the left. Here is proof. of all of the horrendous and hideous problems in Chicago, this bozo wants to focus on the failing of some other leftist hate mongering that failed.

People are dying by the thousands in Chicago because of the conditions and policies of the city government. Murder, suicides, rape, disease, drugs, despair, etc., all are running rampant in the beautiful city of Chicago. And this guys wants to waste pen, ink, time, and influence on criticizing Trump supports on Ivanka Trumps perfume line? Haters have to hate! They can’t get by with trying and maybe failing at addressing and solving real issues.

It continues from the left to create paper tigers so the real issues can be avoided. Who then is the real racist, fascist pig when these conditions are allowed to continue; ignored if you will so that he can be bellicose and outraged over a perfume line. Haters have to hate because they have no idea what to do otherwise.

Excuse me? I don’t believe Ivanka has ever complained about the immature Trump haters organizing boycotts of stores which carry/carried her brand. And she isn’t even in control of it anymore anyway. As for Trump supporters buying up Ivanka Trump stuff.....well, Leftists really do hate it when you use their tactics against them, don’t they?

Let me give you my view of this situation:

Ivanka is a very gifted LADY...she has a very strong, well known Father and she has a very gifted Mother, who is a business woman in her own right...

Ivanka married well, has three adoring children, and a husband who deeply loves her...

To get to Ivanka, because of the type of LADY she is, the Clintons can't have anyone or anything that is wholesome, decent and endearing other than themselves...

Ivanka and Chelsea know one another, being on the same social plane because of their parents, but the thing is Chelsea isn't Bill Clinton's child, she is the daughter of Webb Hubbell and Hillary Clinton...strike one...

Chelsea's ‘suppose father Bill Clinton’ is a former POTUS, but before that and during his time in office, he was drugging (Mena, Arkansas) and he was borking anything that wore a skirt and was disbarred while he was POTUS because of having sex in the White House with someone other than his ‘wife’...

Chelsea's real father was or still is serving a prison sentence...

Chelsea's mother Hillary Clinton is the dirt that snakes crawl upon to get to where they are going...a liar, a cheater, a sex abuser and offender enabler, someone who has committed treason to the United States of America...someone who should spend the rest of her life in prison with Bill Clinton and others that they associate with: John Podesta is one...

So how does the Clintons try to take a beautiful, dignified LADY down? By the media of course, by telling lies about the Trump Family, by doing anything and everything to make the Trump Family look beneath the Clinton family (if that is what you want to call the charade)...

This is what the story is about Ivanka, Chelsea and Hillary and Bill are so envious, unnerved, sick to their stomachs that there are about 62 million American People in the United States of America that adore, respect, voted for, will back 100% President Trump and his family on any given day of any given time of day or week or year...

Pure jealousy is what the Clintons are and they can't live with it...they are, like I said earlier, the dirt that snakes crawl on to get to where they are going...

Hell cannot come soon enough to do away with the Clintons and those that associate with their filth...

Like the press calling Melania a hooker among other things.
They have tried to refine the word beauty to fit Michele Obama, it didn’t work, so everyone else is just considered trash to them.
