Trivial issue. No one cares, or cares very much. Starbucks is a know latter-liberal quantity.
“I have one of the most successful Starbucks, in Trump Tower. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks? I don’t know. Seriously, I don’t care. That’s the end of that lease, but who cares?”
Trump told a crowd in Springfield, Illinois, on Monday. “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you. That I can tell you.”
Seems NOBODY is objecting to the cups.
Seems everybody wants to point fingers at & insult someone for objecting to Starbucks’ cup design, so they’re jumping on the bandwagon - even though nobody is objecting.
Just because an idea’s time has come doesn’t mean there’s a rational objective sane basis for it.
Who is dumb enough to buy their coffee in the first place?
There are bigger fish to fry. Red cups at Starbucks aren’t worth the attention.
The change from a non-Christian decoration last year, and the year before, and the year before, etc. to a non-Christian decoration this year has not “angered religious conservatives.”
It got one internet troll to post a video about how angry Christians should be about the cup change and then the anti-Christian media jumped all over it saying how Christians were angry about it.
Yes, there were a few perpetually offended Christians who grasp at any hint of offensiveness to fuel their self-righteous day who fell for the trolling, but for the most part it was used as a strawman issue for anti-Christian groups and individuals to mock the sensitivity issues of Christians as a whole.
Trump got trolled. It happens to everyone on occasion. Just hope he realizes it and drops the subject.
Definite first world problem.
I’m so sick of everybody being offended about everything all the time!!!!!
General Trump: Have you ever seen a communist drink coffee in a red cup in Starbucks?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No, can’t say that I have.
General Trump: I can assure you that it has happened and will happen, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmmmm.
General Trump: But I... I do deny them my essence.
Proud to say I’ve never set foot in Starbucks and don’t care if their cups are purple with green dots. Is the red for Christmas in recognition of Jesus’ blood shed for us all or are they promoting Communism or is Hooters taking away all their buxom baristas so all they’re left with is a red light district on their cups? Don’t know. Don’t particularly care. That said, it’s ridiculous to waste customers’ money on a new temporary cup design.
So now we have a Candidate running in the national election that loves Christmas, and low and behold, a national chain of COFFEE does something that the pResident doesn't like, muzlims you see, don't believe in Christ, they believe in Mohammad...I wonder how long it will be before the a bill goes thru the House and Senate to stop Christmas altogether....?????
Trump is doing a great job getting sucked into stupid issues nobody cares about.
The cup issue is simply one of a million tiny cuts, and thus should be ignored until the wound is much larger.
It will be easier to address when the wound is spurting blood, not now when a Band-Aid can fix it.
Maybe you are offended that you can’t say “Merry Christmas” but what’s next? Thank God? Pointing to the sky? ...
Ditto the “Merry Christmas” stuff - and I’m Jewish. I am thoroughly sick and tired of this PC crap, and wishing someone Merry Christmas (when the vast majority of the nation is Christian) is simple politeness. Oh, and when someone wishes me one, I say “Thank you, and you, too.” BECAUSE IT IS POLITE and they meant well.
Anyway, I already boycott Starbucks - but because their coffee tastes like it is burned, because they are expensive, because the “in” crowd of snooty @ssholes loves it, and finally because they are anti-gun. Other than that, its a great place.
I despise Starbucks. Hate the coffee. Hate the company. Hate the smarmy leftist CEO Harold Schultz.
This is pompous a-hole who told someone at a board meeting: “If you support traditional marriage over gay marriage, Starbucks doesn’t want your business.”
