President Donald J. Trump in January signed an executive order to freeze immigration from 7 countries (identified by the Obama Administration itself in a 2011 order) from which ISIS fighters have snuck into Western countries disguised as “refugees.”
The left-wing immediately announced its violent opposition to Trump's reasonable, completely legal plan, launching a legal challenge, andf temporarily snarling the order in the courts.
But some companies publicly went against the new President, expressing their support for Muslim "refugees."
The most prominent company to do this was coffee giant Starbucks, whose CEO Howard Schultz, a strong Hillary Clinton supporter, announced plans to hire 10,000 refugees worldwide in response to Trump's order.
Well one month later, Starbucks may well regret that announcement. It's investors certainly will, according to a stunning new report.
That's because, according to the Google/YouGov Brand Index, consumer sentiment on Starbucks has plummeted by a stunning 67% since they announced their opposition to Trump.
According to YouGov this is a very large drop "normally associated with a scandal or health scare" such as the Chipotle Mexican Grill eColi scare a few years back.

I think my post made that pretty clear.
This isn’t a boycott. The CEO simply turned people off.
O.K., so who can get a bunch of these printed?
McDonalds coffee is much tastier and much less than Starbucks anyway. Looks like they got Starbucks customers after the announcement.
Fifty years ago, when Fang spent a year in the Air Force
stationed in Turkey; he said then that they wiped with
their left hand & it was rude to wave with your left hand.
Has that changed in the past 50 years? - I have sort of
liked getting a very occasional large cup of Starbucks
plain black coffee. Very, very occasional cup. No more!
They won’t miss my piddling little bit of business; but
some people have gone there regularly.
It sure is. I think McD’s iced coffee tastes so much better and for a lower price.
Sentiment expression is fine, but voting with your money is the only serious response.
We don’t buy _anything_ at Starbucks, anymore.
Folgers “good to the last drop”.
That is Maxwell House coffee that is “Good to the last drop”.
Folgers jingle had something to do with mornings.
Yes she is cute and it does a good job of mocking the crybaby attitude. I wondered if anyone remembered where she started.
It would be interesting to know...
That’s not the point.
I honestly didn’t consider boycotting them, but since they did this I haven’t purchased starbucks
I wonder if this was in the back of my mind and it just made me not crave starbucks anymore? I know this wasn’t a conscience decision.
I’m partial to Panera Bread’s Dark Roast now, but I guess it is not available across the nation.
I used to like Tim Horton’s until they became Burger King North.
It is for me and millions of others.
