Yet another example of ''getting above the melee'' and 'freedom of market''.

Before you ask, yes, it's highly unusual for the President to complain that stores don't carry the merchandise of his daughter.

(Except for tinpot dictators like Jean Bedel Bokassa, who owned the stores and the companies making the clothes, so that's clearly a goal to reach for the POTUS. Jean Bedel Bokassa being, if you wonder, the absolute nadir of political accumen and dignity while in ofice for the 20th century)

Okay this is starting to get annoying. I know america thinks the world begins with america, that the sun revolves around america and that all our not american lives are spent watching america but there's a dirty little secret. NOONE CARES.

Seriously every time trump sneezes im hearing it on the news, you guys are fiiine. And if you're not fine you can rest in the knowledge that the rest of us will be just fine if you go back to living in huts in the swamp or w/e

TL;DR Noone cares.

Excellent job of separating those conflicts of interest President Cheeto.

Hey, his wife is still mad that she can't use her status as First Lady to personally profit from her brands right now. THIS IS IMPORTANT SHIT THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER RUNNING THE COUNTRY! Family comes first before the job, right? : 3

Also, golf vacations. Because a second weekend in a row of playing golf in Florida within three weeks on the job is totally normal.

For the sake of discussion, let's assume you had a significant other, would you let moderate the forum freely or better yet, go to your day job? Just because it's his wife, doesn't make her co-president of the United States.

Most jobs are Monday-Friday, don't be jealous because the president gets weekends off.

...what?

Not sure about the legality of it, but the first family abusing their status for personal profit is incredibly shady to the extreme, and as far as I know it's unprecedented.

When you're the president, you're signing up for a job where you do not get weekends off. That's in the job description, and if that's too much for him to handle than he shouldn't have run. It's not a job for thin skinned pussies who need their safe spaces. Buck up, cupcake.

Department stores are already hurting due to the proliferation of online retailers, Trump can complain all he wants to but Nordstrom can't afford to lose customers due to a politically contentious brand.

And honestly...if the brand was performing that well, they would have kept it. It's not like Ivanka's products are a household name.

Well, they're on their way to becoming one, the way things are going. The free publicity they are getting right now is incredible.

Well, no, but I somehow know that he doesn't have a bathrobe.

You know, regardless of the context, that was a really weird comment from Spencer...

Mr Hume:
********* I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an "eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay."
********* It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
********* Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
********* Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
********* H.S.T.

It looks like traders don't pay attention to Trump's tweet anymore. Nordstrom's stock went up 4% today.

The thing is, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives very much, you have to take out their families.

Trump says to take out terrorist families, everyone loses their minds.

Obama takes out innocent families with drone strikes, no one bats an eyelash.
