You’re Tired: Serta to Stop Selling Trump Brand Mattresses
Mediaite ^ | 7/2/15 | Evan McMurry

Would you buy a Trump brand mattress?

On the off-chance that you answered yes to this — and if you did, please email me at evan@mediaite.com for a follow-up interview — then you’d better act fast. On Thursday Serta became the latest company to announce it was ending its business relationship with celebrity plutocrat Donald Trump following his remarks on Mexican immigrants.

“Serta values diversity and does not agree with nor endorse the recent statements made by Mr. Trump,” the company said in a statement, declaring that it would not renew its contract with Trump at the end of the year.

Golf Digest raised the question yesterday as to "whether or not the PGA Tour should question sponsors of their tournaments" about their statements. Golf Digest has become horribly PC as of late, and I will be canceling my subscription; watch for follow-up actions by the PGA Tour.

Is there no company that will stand up for free speech?

Just a slight label modification and they can resell them as Tramp Brand Mattresses

Bob’s Discount Furniture, and there are other more local outfits that make matresses. Serta is running on brand recognition, and is WAY overpriced.

We value diversity - so we won’t tolerate opinions that differ from our own....

This word “diversity” - I don’t think it means what they think it means.

The cultural fascism really is stepping into the light. Damn! What a tremendous number of companies and organizations running in fear. Mass hysteria, stupidity, and cowardice seem to run American business.

Consider Select Comfort. The company replaces any malfunction on any part of the mattress - life time guarantee, no charge. We’ve had ours for years.

We have been out looking for a new mattress for the last week. Serta will now be off our list.

“Serra values diversity and does not agree...”

So it’s ok to pretend it didn’t happen when a “diverse” Mexican commits rape?

This is bizarre...the Donald was telling the truth.

Trump is a billionaire. He can bite you longer than you can bite him.

These companies realize that they will lose money, right?

I don’t buy things because someone’s name is on them. Usually they turn out to be crap.

Is your post satire, hopefully?
