You’re Tired: Serta to Stop Selling Trump Brand Mattresses
Mediaite ^ | 7/2/15 | Evan McMurry

Would you buy a Trump brand mattress?

On the off-chance that you answered yes to this — and if you did, please email me at evan@mediaite.com for a follow-up interview — then you’d better act fast. On Thursday Serta became the latest company to announce it was ending its business relationship with celebrity plutocrat Donald Trump following his remarks on Mexican immigrants.

“Serta values diversity and does not agree with nor endorse the recent statements made by Mr. Trump,” the company said in a statement, declaring that it would not renew its contract with Trump at the end of the year.

The thing is, the elite are showing how out of control and clueless they are. Will the day ever come when they all (and I mean globally) have to head for the hills?

In a perverse way, with that SC decision barring unintentional discrimination (ie subconscious thought crime?) I almost can't wait for enterprising folks start setting up a group homes for illegals on parole in their gated communities.

This whole thing is amazingly silly. Trump likes to boast. He is a rich, Alpha male who can and never will be wrong in his mind. He made a statement about a race and pi$$ed off people. These companies just don’t want his name tied to them. If someone in my company makes a statement like he did, my company would fire them. That’s all that happened.
Donald is trying to be a politician and a business man. It’s difficult to do both. When he speaks out like this, there will be reprocussions. If he was just a politician, people could call him out personally. Since he is a businessman, people are going to call out his business and try to hurt his pocketbook.
I find it funny. Donald is a goofy man and I look forward to every time he opens his mouth. He reminds me of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Put his name on anything and say anything for shock value.

Gene has better hair though.

Serta, Inc.

(Largest shareholder): NATIONAL BEDDING COMPANY L.L.C.

Updated Aug. 5, 2012 5:39 p.m. ET Private-equity firm Advent International on Sunday said it agreed to buy a majority interest in the bedding company that owns the Simmons mattress brand and licenses the Serta brand.

It really doesn't matter if we boycott them or not. "They", whoever "they" really are, are too big. It won't hurt them significantly.

I think it's all orchestrated.

Irrelevant. He has the right to free speech without being penalized. A million people have said the same thing without penalty.

Consider Select Comfort.

I'm 64. Best mattress I've ever had, and I've been through a few.

Trump needs to start his own mattress factory (made in America) and hire American workers.

And have this little Hottie do a sexy ad campaign. Remember the Serta Joey Heatherton ads? Well I can dream, can't I?.

Irrelevant that Chump jumps up & down about Mexico & China & then manufactures his products there? I'm not sure that word means what you think it does.

He has the right to free speech without being penalized.

No, the First Amendment protects us against the government, not our fellow citizens or corporations.

A million people have said the same thing without penalty.

A million people have not been caught doing the same thing they rail against. You Chump apologists are out in full force today.

That's a shame. I'm in the market for two queen sized mattresses and was considering Serta.

Air mattress is much thicker construction, Urethane Air Chamber, Box Top Air™/ Edge to Edge Air. Air is positioned at the surface of the mattress, where it can best deliver proper postural alignment. The lower profile allows the air chamber to extend all the way to the edges of the mattress

In the mid-50’s one of the local Pittsburgh television stations aired the Sealy Weather Report with the Sealy Mattress Girl. A fetching young woman would like seductively in a negligee atop a Sealy mattress, and read the day’s weather forecast.

Pretty racy stuff for the fifties.

Unless and until a conservative can stand up to and defeat this kind of PC smear campaign, we’re finished. Love him or hate him, Trump is definitely showing the field what ‘nards look like.

Trump should hire that collage whore to hawk his new mattresses.
