Nordstrom insists its line of Ivanka Trump products, ranging from professional sheath dresses and black pumps, wasn’t selling well, so it had to be dropped. So what did it pick up? High-wasted, acid-washed mom jeans, complete with see-through knees, selling for $95 a pop. Made by Topshop — a hip British retailer — the jeans feature clear, plastic kneecap covers, sewn into the fabric. Nordstrom.com says the jeans have a “futuristic feel.” Even the liberal Huffington Post is questioning why.

Neiman Marcus is once again selling Ivanka Trump's fashion line after it disappeared from the retailer's website in early February. Shannon Coulter, the originator of the anti-Trump #GrabYourWallet boycott movement, posted on Twitter on Wednesday that two new Trump brand items had surfaced on the retailer's website.

A viral video shows a group of women storming into a Nordstrom to cancel their accounts in response to the retailer's decision to stop selling Ivanka Trump's fashion brand, promising to shop at Dillard's instead. Laurie Ray posted a video on Facebook of herself and seven other women — some wearing shirts with photos of President Donald Trump that say "Haters Gonna Hate" — walking into Nordstroms in Chandler, Arizona, with handfuls of cash to cancel their accounts. "I've been shopping at Nordstrom for 30 years," one woman in the video says, speaking into a telephone. "Because of your decision...

Ivanka Trump and her fashion line are in liberal crosshairs these days and they are making no secret of the fact that this is a form of payback for the triumph of her father, an election victory that derailed progressive dreams of completing under President Hillary Clinton the fundamental transformation of America. The irony here is that it has been the liberals and so-called feminists who have said that Donald Trump and the GOP are afraid of strong, independent women. Like her father, Ivanka Trump earned her place in the world. Unlike Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka did not benefit from her...

The discount retailer Burlington Coat Factory no longer sells products from Ivanka Trump's brand online. As of Friday, the retailer's website doesn't show a stock of Ivanka Trump accessories and clothing. The change comes amid news of several retailers dropping the first daughter's line in the last two weeks, including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Gilt. Burlington was selling 13 items from Ivanka's fashion line as of Tuesday, according to Shannon Coulter, the brand strategist who started the #GrabYourWallet boycott of Trump products. Since October, Coulter has charted which retailers do business with the Trump family on the Grab Your Wallet...

Sears and Kmart have stopped selling products from the Trump Home line on their websites, Business Insider reports. Items from Trump Home, which is part of the Trump Organization, were reportedly not available on both websites and did not appear in a search of either website as of Friday. “As part of the company’s initiative to optimize its online product assortment, we constantly refine that assortment to focus on our most profitable items,” a Sears Holdings spokesperson told Business Insider. “Amid that streamlining effort, 31 Trump Home items were among the items removed online this week. Products from the line...

The Washington Post, speaking for the Opposition Party consisting of the Democrats and mainstream media, on February 9, 2017, blared the headline: "White House says Conway has been 'counseled' after touting Ivanka Trump's products" As usual, there is always a Republican ready, willing, and able to attack the Trump administration and help the Democrats. Jason Chaffetz, congressman from Utah, who was a NeverTrump, stepped up to say Conway's statement was "clearly over the line" and "unacceptable." The facts are simple. Nordstrom canceled the line of clothing of Ivanka Trump. The cancelation and timing are suspicious, given the uproar by the...

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee wants the committee to look into potential disciplinary action against Kellyanne Conway for plugging Ivanka Trump‘s brand on Fox News this morning. After President Trump raised ethical questions with his tweet about Nordstrom yesterday, Conway repeatedly encouraged Fox viewers this morning to go purchase goods from the company run by the president’s daughter. Elijah Cummings, ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to committee chair Jason Chaffetz calling Conway’s remarks “a textbook violation of government ethics laws and regulations enacted to prevent the abuse of an employee’s government position.”...

Amid growing pressure for stores to drop the first daughter’s brand, it is no longer being sold at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Belk, Jet, and ShopStyle. Days after Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus announced they would stop selling the Ivanka Trump collection due to lagging sales, the brand is disappearing from a growing list of retailers. The removal of the first daughter’s brand from multiple retailers follows the widespread #GrabYourWallet campaign to boycott businesses the Trump family profits from. Shannon Coulter, founder of #GrabYourWallet, reported the brand’s disappearance from ShopStyle on Tuesday after tracking the amount of Ivanka Trump stock across retailers.(CHART-AT-LINK)...

Last week, employees at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls got very clear instructions about where to put signs for Ivanka Trump products: in the garbage. The TJX Companies, the retailers’ parent company, told employees not to display Ivanka Trump merchandise separately and to throw away Ivanka Trump signs, according to a note to employees on Wednesday, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times. “Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into the runs,” the note read. “Runs” refers to the normal clothing racks where the majority of products hang. “All Ivanka Trump...

Wearing a baseball cap with the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ can get you beaten up. Shopping for Ivanka Trump products is no longer a matter of choice. Little wonder why so many are asking: “America, where art thou?” If hypocritical lib-left activists get their way in forcing retail stores like Nordstrom and Macy’s to drop Ivanka Trump’s shoe and clothing line, they’ll soon be selling pink p**sy caps and posting “He’s not MY President” on their store windows. That’s what the screaming meemies, depriving the masses of Ivanka Trump products want, and with retailers allowing the intimidation of raging...

Earlier this week Nordstrom announced the retail giant will no longer sell Ivanka Trump brand products in stores, severing the previously held business relationship. Belk, Jet, ShopStyle and Home Shopping Network all followed suit. In response to the move, President Donald Trump tweeted about the situation. “My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!” While it’s certainly highly inappropriate for President Trump to go after a private company on issues of family business now that he’s in the Oval Office, he isn't...

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...

NEW YORK (AP) — Nordstrom says it will stop selling Ivanka Trump clothing and accessories, creating some questions about the future of the brand elsewhere.That innocuous headline caught my eye Friday, because it confirmed the arrival of what FOX Business Network and SRN financial commentator Lou Dobbs brilliantly calls “Corporate Bullying.” Naturally, Seattle-based Nordstrom stores won’t cop to knuckling-under to threats of “boycotts” by ad hoc online terrorists like the group #Grab Your Wallet. When I contacted Nordstrom headquarters to get the straight-skinny on why Ivanka Trump’s product line is really being dropped. I received the following homogenized, weasel-worded response...

As a movement to boycott businesses that do business with the Trump family heats up, Macy's is under pressure to dump Ivanka Trump's fashion brand. With Nordstrom announcing on Thursday that it had decided to stop selling Ivanka Trump's brand, reportedly due to declining sales, customers have taken to Macy's social media pages to demand the retailer do the same. "Nordstrom dumped Trump, please follow suit," reads one of many similar comments on Macy's Facebook page. "I would never put plastic Ivanka Trump boots on my little daughter." @Macys I have cc for 15 yrs & spent 1000s. I will...

Nordstrom will no longer sell Ivanka Trump's clothing and accessories, the company announced Thursday. The Seattle-based department store chain said the decision was based on the sales performance of the first daughter's brand, The Seattle Times reported. The move comes amid a weekslong campaign known as "Grab Your Wallet," which has been calling for a boycott of retailers that carry Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump merchandise. In November, Nordstrom posted a response on Twitter to a shopper's letter calling for the company to stop selling the brand, saying, "We hope that offering a vendor's products isn't misunderstood as us taking...

The change followed a weeks long boycott campaign, organized by Trump activist group called, "GRAB YOUR WALLET". The group demanded the department store giant cease doing business with the president or his family. Shannon Coulter, who runs GRAB YOUR WALLET, celebrated Nordstrom's decision as a milestone the campaign.
