>>More than 728,000 people signed a Moveon.org petition calling on Macy’s to ditch the Donald — to sever its ties with Donald Trump, the real estate mogul-turned-celebrity designer-turned-Republican presidential candidate.
>>And Wednesday morning, the national department store chain announced that it was doing just that.
>>“Macy’s is a company that stands for diversity and inclusion,” the company said in a statement. “We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form. We welcome all customers, and respect for the dignity of all people is a cornerstone of our culture. We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. We do not believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation. In light of statements made by Donald Trump, which are inconsistent with Macy’s values, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship with Mr. Trump and will phase-out the Trump menswear collection, which has been sold at Macy’s since 2004.”
Everybody but Conservatives and Libertarians are welcome at Macy’s. The current CEO will have the distinction of running a historic business into the ground and costing his employees their jobs.
Which wasn’t a fair depiction of Donald Trump’s own position, which seems to lean towards a generous idea of amnesty for some subset of Mexican illegales.
Something wicked from their way went, before Trump even entered their picture. Trump was the test, not the cause, of that something wicked.
