Salvation Army has decided to do its own virtue signaling by pulling out of a big fundraising event at Trump’s Mar a Lago for no other reason than optics. It’s BS and a tragic example of what happens when Christian groups hire very un-Christian CEOs to handle the business office.
I seriously think some of these CEO are blackmailed into stupid like this.
Or working at SBUX. This guy is an idiot. Give him his request and don’t patronize his businesses.
Too late AH. Ya can't put the bullet back in the gun.
This one's gonna burn...
Rent-seeking business CEO treats his customers like (economic) slaves... should this be surprising when you look at it this way?
Stupid is p!$$ing off at least 50% of your customers.
How long before he is out at Camping World? I complained to them and got the long, rambling response that is almost unreadable. I guess if their board of directors wants to save the company, this guy has to go. Otherwise they will all go.
When their CEO all but states that TRUMP, and by association all of us who voted for him are NAZIS and RACISTS the donations STOP.
I have religiously been donating to the Salvation Army since 1972; money, clothing (in excellent condition), and when I could my time.
No more, they showed what they think of me as one of the DEPLORABLES.
F#CK’EM.
Biography
Lemonis was born in Beirut, Lebanon, during the chaos of civil war and foreign invasions and was adopted during his infancy by Leo and Sophia Lemonis, a Greek couple living in Miami, Florida. Lemonis was exposed to the automotive industry throughout his upbringing, his grandfather owning two of the largest Chevrolet dealerships in the United States and Lee Iacocca serving as a family friend and later mentor to Marcus. Lemonis earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a minor in criminology from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1995, and unsuccessfully ran as a Democrat for a seat in the Florida House of Representatives shortly after his graduation, whereupon he refocused his career on the automotive industry.
He has been married to Ila Lemonis since 2003.

I’m so sorry to hear about Salvation Army getting on the anti-Trump bandwagon. They’ve been a blessing to many people in the past. :(
Left wing demoncrat is still miffed that he lost to a Republican when he ran for office.
Maybe he needs to go back to greater Syria.
Camping World decided to go full retard.
Never go full retard.
Sadly, it appears Mark Martin did not cancel his order for an RV after receiving a call, and probably a substantial discount, from this idiot.
Mark Twain: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt, and, It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.
Mark Martin is a driver who is a democrat. He doesn’t wear it on his sleeve.
I’ll be looking for the right time to short it ... thanks ...
The Salvation Army relies heavily on fundraising events like The Holiday Snow Ball in Palm Beach to further our mission of helping those in need through a range of social services including food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, clothing and shelter for the homeless, and opportunities for the underprivileged. Because the conversation has shifted away from the purpose of this event, we will not host it at Mar-a-Lago.”

I will no longer donate to SA. Been donating 44 YEARS.
