Macy's is joining the line of companies cutting ties with Donald Trump over the real estate mogul's comments about Mexican immigrants.
In this case, it's neckties. The retailer has marketed a line of menswear with the Trump label since 2004. But in a statement issued Wednesday, Macy's said it was "disappointed and distressed" over Trump's June 16 remarks regarding U.S. immigration policy in which he made derogatory remarks about Mexicans. He said Mexican immigrants were bringing drug and crime into the U.S.
"We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form," Macy's said in a statement.
Trump made the comments at the kickoff of his campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination and has been taking heat ever since.
Trump has already lost business from Univision, which will not air the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. NBC, Trump's partners in the pageants, has also announced it will sever ties with Trump, and will keep him off his hit reality show "Celebrity Apprentice." Mexican TV companies Televisa and TV Ora have also parted ways with Trump.
The move by Macy's is a sign that the Trump brand name, a major source of income for the billionaire, is becoming tarnished as a result of the controversy.
The ties and shirts in the Trump line were still on the Macy's website Wednesday at discounted prices. . .

Too long...and not worth the trouble but if you want to calmly discuss an issue at a time that might be do-able.
To short. Again, no information.
And as far as being able to discuss an issue with you, you had your chance.
LOL
That’s about all you’ve got left, so go ahead.
Called out on what you were up to, what else is there?
Oh yes, you can claim the high road even though you’ve already been shown to be what you are.
It won’t matter. You’re done here.
Dude...WTF are you talking about?
Dud, I wouldn’t expect you to know.
And this from a guy who actually wants Donald Trump for president. :)
Please link me to where I said I wanted him for president.
Thanks in advance.
Trump is not leading the charge. He’s a millionaire who needs the left to keep him afloat. He’s not trustworthy and he’s no more conservative than Stephen Colbert.
I’m quite uncomfortable with him personally, but I’m even more uncomfortable with what the other politicians, business insiders, and Leftists are doing to our nation. I’m not convinced those other folks really give a S about our sovereignty, or even continued existence as a nation. Frankly, I think Trump would be better than most of them when you consider that.
Once again, the disinformation specialist can’t discuss matters he’s in over his head on, so he moves to change the subject.
Yep, I’d vote Trump over Hillary Clinton. Perhaps you wouldn’t.
I’d vote for him over Jeb Bush too. Perhaps you wouldn’t.
If you think I want a repeat of the Bush years, think again.
I work for Kaos, a Deleware corporation. You can learn more about it here:

If it’s between Hillary and Trump, I’d sit it out for the first time since Reagan and pray.
The border is either brought under control, or no amount of praying will suffice.
We can’t legalize 30 million people and allow the chain immigration to follow.
Within 15 years, we have over 150 million new citizens.
If you think it’s bad now...
This is what’s behind my begrudging support of Trump.
Be careful of your wording.
You probably didn’t sit out elections with Reagan.
Yep..Reagan was actually my first vote and I’ve never sat it out.
Okay, good.
FYI, Donald Trump shirts are made in Bangladesh and ties are made in Red China.
Macy’s has had the red star since the 1800s. Honored the founder’s Naval service.
The Communists got it in the 20th century.
Macy’s had it first.
Thank you for your insight.
