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When you’re Donald Trump, another rescinded corporate partnership is nothing if not an opportunity to galvanize your supposedly growing base of political supporters.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

Nixon, Agnew and Eisenhower were liberals by today’s standards and I’d have any of them take Mr. Obama’s place in a New York minute.

It will be interesting to see which way the money flows and quits flowing as a direct result of this latest Trump issue and the Confederate flag issue.

A lot of ‘bottom lines’ may turn red by the end of the quarter.

Remember when Chick-fil-a was being hit on all sides?

Guess what is now the #1 favorite fast food?

Businesses may learn that siding with the PC progressives/libs is not a financial advantage in the long run.

My guess is that you have nothing better to do, than to second guess Trump.

Saturday I returned a pair of shoes I bought last week for my husband. Macy’s has been removed from my weekend shopping itinerary.

I’d for sure take an Eisenhower right now. Bring back Operation Wetback!

There’s a small clique here that hate candidate X,Y,or Z.

It is election season. They come out in droves. Wait until the bots show up in every thread, posting reams of propaganda for or against certain candidates, try to browbeat other posters, and cause all kinds of trouble -- to the point that many of them will get banned.

Macy’s can indeed die out.

I wouldn't be surprised. First thought may be that they are too big, too old, a standard, or [insert whatever]. But honestly, I remain mystified as to why anyone shops there for anything. I've tried. The women's clothing is junk, both in quality of fabric and design. The rest of what they peddle, I can get at TJ Maxx or online.

The JCrews, Ann Taylors, and Banana Republic's of the world have them beat by leaps and bounds.

It’s kind of ironic but my friend Macy closed her Macy’s account on Friday! She buys her Estee Lauder makeup through Macy’s and is now looking to buy it somewhere else.
