Starbucks Opposed Trump by Hiring 10,000 'Refugees'... Now It's Paying a Big Price For It

President Donald J. Trump in January signed an executive order to freeze immigration from 7 countries (identified by the Obama Administration itself in a 2011 order) from which ISIS fighters have snuck into Western countries disguised as “refugees.”

The left-wing immediately announced its violent opposition to Trump's reasonable, completely legal plan, launching a legal challenge, andf temporarily snarling the order in the courts.

But some companies publicly went against the new President, expressing their support for Muslim "refugees."

The most prominent company to do this was coffee giant Starbucks, whose CEO Howard Schultz, a strong Hillary Clinton supporter, announced plans to hire 10,000 refugees worldwide in response to Trump's order.

Well one month later, Starbucks may well regret that announcement. It's investors certainly will, according to a stunning new report.

That's because, according to the Google/YouGov Brand Index, consumer sentiment on Starbucks has plummeted by a stunning 67% since they announced their opposition to Trump.

According to YouGov this is a very large drop "normally associated with a scandal or health scare" such as the Chipotle Mexican Grill eColi scare a few years back.

The coffee tastes like burnt rubber. All blends. So maybe a boycott is the market speaking as well.

It hasn’t hired them yet, but saying they’d do it over the next five years was bad enough.

They’re getting what they deserved.

The public is tired of finding pubic hairs in their politics.

Clean up your act Starbucks. We are not amused.

They might add TEARS to their coffee, it might make it worth more for the Snowflakes.

Starbucks can hire as many ‘refugees’ as they like...I will NEVER spend another dime on any of their products.

  Plenty of customers just don't want to be raped or murdered by rapefugees.

Maybe Starbuckets should lower the price of their coffee to what they sell it for in Mexico.

Illegal workers, charge everyone the going rate in the countries from whence the illegals came.

And when some of these refugees refuse to wash their hands, or make rude comments to female workers or customers, or not serve any food that has bacon in it, what is management going to do or say then? Thy’re going to ‘write up’ a Syrian or Afghan refugee? I want to be around to see that.
