Macy's is pulling Donald Trump brand merchandise from its stores after the Republican presidential candidate's recent controversial remarks created a public uproar.
The department store has come under intense pressure to cut ties with the real estate magnate and businessman after he referred to immigrants from Mexico and other countries "killers and rapists."
In a statement Wednesday morning, Macy's said the company "stands for diversity" and that it had no tolerance for discrimination.
"We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. We do not believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation," Macy's said. "In light of statements made by Donald Trump, which are inconsistent with Macy's values, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship with Mr. Trump and will phase-out the Trump menswear collection, which has been sold at Macy's since 2004."

They need the shelf space for rainbow flags...
Oh well...another lawsuit for Trump, He’s a one man lawyer employment boom.
Can’t stand Trump. But I dumped Gaycy’s years ago.
Fascism is alive and well. Speak against the status quo and you will be put in your place.
Follow the money as always.
I recently bought furniture at Macys using my card for a 1 year no interest offer. One month later they sent me a letter saying all no interest accounts will be moved into the revolving account and charged interest. I paid it off and closed the account. Macy’s is dead to me.
Trump will just buy Macy’s and put all his stuff back in.
We haven't set foot in one of their stores since.
Trump products occupy a big chunck of Macy's Men's dept.
That's going to leave a hole.
Same as when he sues for breach of contract.
Another company practicing McCarthyism - liberal 2015 style.
Trump is single-handedly smoking out all the liberal rot that’s infesting America.
I agree with you....
He was referring to illegal invaders, not legal immigrants.
The ones that sneak in do not qualify as immigrants.
I wonder why Macy's wants illegal aliens to come into their stores and shoplift?
Why would ANYONE be offended by calling people who start their life here by stealing jobs and breaking the law by illegally breaking into ur country?!?!?
It makes zero sense.
Liberalism is a mental disease.
The only 100% preventable crimes are those committed by illegal aliens.
Hillary’s elves are sure busy.
Lol- trump should buy the airspace above 5th Avenure and make them beg for their Thanksgiving parade
Time for all LEGAL citizens to stop shopping at Macy’s
You have a point there.
what public uproar for crying out loud.
Anyone still think we live in a free country with free speech anymore?
