Ivanka Trump’s Fashion Line Is Becoming a Casualty of Her Father’s Presidency
The Washingtonian ^ | February 5, 2017 | Hayley Garrison Phillips

Posted on 02/08/2017 4:04:22 AM PST by Truth29

Getting dumped by Nordstrom, which helped Ivanka launch her brand in 2011, bodes even worse for the first daughter’s business. This isn’t a singular designer making a personal political statement, it’s a commercial giant slowly backing away from a name it thinks might be bad for business. Neiman Marcus followed suit Friday when it pulled Ivanka Trump’s jewelry collection. Whether those actions are the result of a real lag in sales or are publicity-based decisions, if two major retailers are dropping her brand, others—including Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, Zappos, and Amazon—now have precedent to follow. And even if Nordstrom says dropping Ivanka was a “performance”-based decision, the company hasn’t been entirely apolitical, judging by a pro-immigration memo the company’s executives sent to their employees last week.

Plus Fox Business is reporting that more businesses are dropping her clothing line. Conservatives need to much more effectively counter the Leftist boycott efforts and make it plain that political business decisions will be severely punished. Nordstrom's , for instance, should be targeted - boycotts, shareholder lawsuits, investigations of in kind political contributions, etc.

She has a place in her father’s administration and a business based on her name. How is she going to separate the two?

"We'll get you through your children!" screamed the homosexual radical leftist Allen Ginsberg. He was raging not just at David Horowitz long ago, but - in absentia - at us today. You and me.. and Donald Trump. Their playbook hasn't changed.

She can have a website up and running in no time. I hope she cuts out the retailers and I’ll but for my wife and daughter directly.

She isn’t the first and won’t be the last that is willing to sacrifice for America.

We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes And Our Sacred Honor

http://www.americanheritage.com/content/we-mutually-pledge-each-other-our-lives-our-fortunes-and-our-sacred-honor

Altogether seventeen of the signers suffered extreme, and in some cases total, property losses. One in nine of them lost his life. But not one man of the fiftysix lost his “sacred honor.” Throughout the long ordeal of an often-floundering war, in a cause that at times seemed hopelessly lost, there was not among the fifty-six men a single defection—despite the reservations that some had had about independence at the beginning and despite the repeated sagging of popular support for the war.

1) call MACYS NEIMAN’S NORDSTROMS local and Corp stores to let them know you are cutting up your cards and never shopping there again.
1a) not a shopper at these stores? CALL ANYWAY!! Toss any gift cards you might have and tell them. Deliver the message!
2) buy your next outfits from Ivanka on Amazon.com.

We need to stand up to this crap.
Finnally.... BUY UNDER ARMOUR!!!

” Nordstrom’s , for instance, should be targeted”

What I have noticed about the businesses who have unmasked themselves as insanely liberal and “social active” is, I already did no business with them at all. The exception was 84 lumber which took me by surprise.

I am wondering if there is a flavor of socialism or something that just turns me off about liberal run enterprises which is not obvious until they “come out.” Or, perhaps it’s me. I have no interest in fashion or being fashionable and, let’s face it, no cup of coffee is worth $5. (I especially don’t like limp-wristed man-bun wearing wimps serving it.)

84 Lumber

Anyone who has tried to work in construction and millwork knows that 84 undercuts their competitor pricing to contractors so much that it makes the rest of the industry wonder how 84 survives.

I’d boycott Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus except I can’t afford them.

Nordstrom is already struggling, and they are making many marketing missteps in support of liberalism. They seem to think that the whole world thinks like Seattle, where their corporate offices are based.

They are going to bleed badly.

BTW, I used to work in IT there and my daughter currently works there. The CIO that exited a few years ago was a personal friend.

"Poor girl she will have to survive on Ramen noodles now."

That's not the point. She's wealthy and doesn't need the business, but this is about how the Left politicizes everything. The remake behavior and society's mores through rewards and punishment. Conservatives don't behave that way, at least not yet. Nordstroms' needs to be left as a smoking economic hole in the ground as an object lesson.
