really? The President of the US attacks a private company because he doesn't like its business decision? What a joke.

I agree, he shouldn't be doing that.
With that said, Marshall fans be proud:

"A campaign called Grab Your Wallet has been urging shoppers to boycott retailers and other companies connected with the Trump family business empire. It encourages consumers to stay away from retailers that carry Ivanka Trump products as well as businesses such as Trump wineries and golf courses."

Liberals think that the President doesn't have 1st amendment rights?
The 1st amendment gets thrown around far, far too often. Simply arguing that the President probably shouldn't use his bully pulpit to trash an American company is not the same as saying the FBI should swarm his office and shut off his Twitter. It's the new race card.

What are the odds that he'll tweet that Nordstom is a loser company and that they are about to go bankrupt....at 4 am?
He's not done with them. My most sincere hope is that all of this blows up in his face. I want to see the shoppers streaming into Nordstrom. For every BS attack like this, I want everyone to go support that company. I want the Trump name to be loathed all around the world and for customers to flee all Trump properties. May protestors picket all of his properties and turn his hoped for money windfall into untold bankruptcies. It would be karma imo.

One thing the left should have learn by now.

Don't underestimate Trump. Don't expect your wishes to come true.

It's going to be a LONG 4 years.

I do not underestimate the amount of damage that Trump can do to this country and the world before his 4 years are up considering the start that he's off to. It's very impressive, he has exceeded my worst expectations. Hopefully the sane powers that be in DC can save us from him.

It's the President held to a higher standard when serving the office? It's not all about Trump anymore....it's PRESIDENT Trump.....and he's got better things to do with his time.

I bet if Trump had a daughter she would be just like Ivanka.

I could have just said "Who cares" but I wanted someone to tell me how the President is held to a highers standard.
So, you're ok with Trump making decisions about what companies should receive tax incentives for keeping jobs in the US or investing in expansion, AND him overtly (on twitter) degrading companies due to business decisions that hurt his or his families financial well being? Seems like the Oval Office is becoming something less dignified than it's been in the last 8

I don't think the President can offer tax incentives to companies.

I guess because they have more power. What Presidents say matter and that didn't just start with President Trump.

I agree, but I am not sure that he was out of line for calling out a company for punishing his daughter for being his daughter either.

They dumped her because she was losing them money. If you want to support her, go to her web page and buy her ****. I'm sure she'll appreciate your ignorance.

Because he got them to stay? What tax incetives did he offer them?
Personally, I don't think he got them to stay. I think they were going to keep just as many jobs in the US as they did. I think Pence offered tax incentives through the state to give them incentive to stay. I think everyone praised Trump for the victory (maybe you didn't?). And the tweets keep coming....I don't mind the strategy if it is ALL about the workers, but when he breaks out his twitter rifle to defend his / his family's business interests...he's crossing a line, and bringing all other motivations under question as well.

I'm sure that's why too. It's a business, if it sells....they're gonna sell it.

Ivanka would make bank if she made a line of plus size unisex sweatpants and sold them at gas stations. I bet money 'dave' would have 1 pair for each week of the month. She needs to learn her new place in society and just go with it.

I bet Ivanka makes more bank in a week than your sorry *** makes in a year.
