    Macy’s will end business relationship with Donald Trump

    The Washington Post

    7/1/2015

    Excerpt:

    More than 728,000 people signed a Moveon.org petition calling on Macy’s to ditch the Donald — to sever its ties with Donald Trump, the real estate mogul-turned-celebrity designer-turned-Republican presidential candidate.

    And Wednesday morning, the national department store chain announced that it was doing just that.

    “Macy’s is a company that stands for diversity and inclusion,” the company said in a statement. “We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form. We welcome all customers, and respect for the dignity of all people is a cornerstone of our culture. 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. 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.”

    Trump responded with his own statement, suggesting that he was breaking up with them first anyway. It read in part: “I have decided to terminate my relationship with Macy’s because of the pressure being put on them by outside sources. While selling Trump ties and shirts at Macy’s is a small business in terms of dollar volume, my principles are far more important and therefore much more valuable. ”

    The real estate mogul and reality TV celebrity, announced he would seek the GOP presidential nomination.

    He took a couple swipes on his way out the door, though, adding that he has “never been happy about the fact that the ties and shirts are made in China” and that if he starts a new product line of his own, “I would insist that they are made in America.”

    Shocker: Anti-Birther Radical Leftist Behind Macy's Trump Dump; Trump Calls For Macy's Boycott

    Birther Report

    7/1/2015

    Excerpt:

    Macy's department store succumbed to the PC crowd (radical left) by pulling all Donald Trump merchandise from its stores over Trump's hurtful truthful statements about ILLEGAL immigrants. Trump is now calling for a Macy's boycott.

    Excerpt via CNN:

    First on CNN: Macy's dumps Donald Trump

    [...]

    A MoveOn.org petition calling on Macy's to sever its relationship with Trump had collected well over 700,000 signatures as of Wednesday morning.

    "Donald Trump does not reflect 'the magic of Macy's,'" the petition reads. "Macy's says it has a strong obligation to be 'socially responsible' and that 'actions speak louder than words.' Indeed. It's time to act."

    Angelo Carusone, who started the "Dump Trump" movement in 2012 to protest Trump's "birther" theories about President Barack Obama and launched the Macy's petition, lauded the department store for making the "right decision."

    "The statement itself (from Macy's) basically confirms what we've been saying since day one: His brand, which is bigoted bullying, is inconsistent with Macy's brand," Carusone, the executive vice president of Media Matters, told CNN. "There's a line between being very opinionated and expressing yourself and communicating that and being reckless and destructive." [...] CNN.

    My recent statement re: @macys -- We must have strong borders & stop illegal immigration now!… https://instagram.com/p/4mS9POGhVe/

    Those who believe in tight border security, stopping illegal immigration & SMART trade deals w/other countries should boycott @Macys.

    For all of those who want to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, boycott @Macys. They are weak on border security & stopping illegal immigration.
