Billionaire presidential hopeful says it’s a protest against immigration.

When you’re Donald Trump, another rescinded corporate partnership is nothing if not an opportunity to galvanize your supposedly growing base of political supporters.

The billionaire real estate mogul, reality-television personality, and Republican presidential hopeful has spent the past week taking Twitter pot-shots at Macy’s after the department store chain severed ties with Trump and his line of menswear amid the uproar over Trump’s recent derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants.

On Monday, Trump — who, last week, gleefully pointed out on Twitter when Macy’s stock had fallen by less than 0.5% — tweeted out a claim that his supporters have been cutting up their Macy’s credit cards “as a protest” against the U.S. government’s stance on immigration....

My guess is Trump inc. is being hurt more than Macys.

We did.

Plenty of other retail outlets worthy of our dollars.

Oh, and the three mattresses we’ll be buying in the fall will not be Serta.

I have a Macys 2 miles from where I live and I will never shop there.

I also happen to believe that large department stores are out of date.

Theyre uncool.

Sort of hard for me to boycott Macy’s when I haven’t bought anything there in 3 or 4 years. And haven’t been inside one of their stores in that long.

I am actually thinking of getting one so I can use it to mess with them. (Dinky charges can cost more to process than the charge.)

/Not going to, but it would be fun

Of course that would be your guess, what a surprise.

Is there a thread in which you do not attack
Mr. Trump? Are you in the White Mosque?

LOL Retail is a risky biz, just ask Montgomery Wards. Macy’s can indeed die out.

I don't hate Trump. I am just smart enough to see and honest enough to admit he is a liberal.

Yes I don’t respond to every Trump article. Why is it such a problem if I attack Trump? Until now when has Trump ever showed an interest in conservative concerns?

Welcome to FR, BKEPLEY.

I know you have been registered since 2000, but have you just been a lurker all that time ?

Reason I ask is because I have only noticed you commenting as of late.

Typical of many here who come around and can't build their candidate so they have to tear down all others.

For the record, I love what Trump is doing right now but am not willing to throw my support 100%.....yet.

I learned a long time ago if you want to see what is really happening to be patient, sit back and watch what ends up happening.

We still have a long way to go, I thing I'll just observe for a while longer.
