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.

You can value truth or you can worship political correctness, but you cannot do both.

Boycott Serta.

This is the part where people proclaim they’ll never buy a Serta again. But what is the alternative? Is there a single company left in this country that doesn’t toe the whole rich wonderful tapestry of diversity and tolerance crap?

The only thing more important than money among the ultra-riche is the ability to influence public opinion, something that Mr. Trump is apparently willing to pay for.

However, what an interesting hypocrisy test, to see the various forces that are coming out against him.

Of course, the "Latino" branch of the disinformational elites are naturally, primarily concerned with the welfare of the poorest among their cultural constituents.

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

What we have here is 'political correctness' run amok. Even companies, which are legal entities entitled to operate as a person, have no respect for a person's right to express themselves as provided for in the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

These companies, in their advertising, take advantage of the 1st Amendment, Freedom to tout their products, truthful or not, constantly.

But, it is alright to burn the flag that represents all of those freedoms by the uninformed, useful idiots.

That’s exactly it!

We need a list of companies that diss the Donald.

Lemme see, we have so far:
NBC
Macys
Serta

Additions are very welcome!

I need to know where to NEVER SHOP AGAIN!

Forget Serta. I’m still actively boycotting Angie’s List as well. Nuts to these cracked pots.

Thats really a great idea. It might not advance his presidential ambitions, but in the long term it’d be a public relations bonanza.

Got rid of a Serta a few years ago and got an IKEA mattress instead. Love it! We’re in the process of replacing all mattresses in our house with IKEA.

The alternative is to do exactly what the left does to advertisers on conservative programs.

Yeah, well Paulie agrees.

A lot of companies out there. No problem going elsewhere for a mattress. I’ll be in the market for three in a few months, as luck would have it.

Classic example of why it’s important for Trump to be self sufficient - he’s beholden to no one; nobody.

With one comment, he’s managing to smoke out a lot of weasels.

Someone needs to force these people to read Eugene Ionesco's brilliant play about fascism called “Rhinoceros.” I can see a lot of Americans raising their hooves and it's not pretty and it's not wise.

Is Trump’s mattress line made overseas, like his clothing line that is made in China?

Trump brand mattress? Is there nothing the man won’t slap his name on to make a buck?

Never knew they sold a Trump mattress. Never knew Macy’s sold a Trump line. Still don’t care.

Don’t be surprised if he does.

He WILL respond. He didn’t get to where he is now by cowering in fear.
