Those are alternative facts. You're unpatriotic.

So huge department store chain Nordstroms decides to drop Ivanka Trump's brands from all stores citing declining sales.

Trump tweets: My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

Sean Spicer during today's press briefing says: "I think this is less about his family's business and an attack on his daughter," Spicer said. "He ran for president. He won. He's leading this country. I think for people to take out their concern about his actions or his executive orders on members of his family, he has every right to stand up for his family and applaud their business activities, their success."

A lot of Trump's supporters are pushing for boycotts of Nordstrom.

Questions:

1. Both Trump and his daughter were suppose to divest their interests in their personal businesses. So why is Trump so upset?

2. Should the President of the US use his position of power to try and influence the success or failure of a publically traded company based on purely personal reasons and out of spite?

3. Whatever happened to make America great again. Nordstrom employs 72,500 people here in the US. What if the boycott takes hold and some of those people end up losing their jobs.

Oh, and T.J Maxx, Marshalls, and Neiman Marcus are starting to follow suit with Ivanka's brands. Get ready to fire up your Twitter Donald.

Better question: Why is this even getting publicity? There are so many more important things to worry about, but once again bullshit petty problems will make the headlines and detract from actual issues.

It's brilliant.

Right? I think Trump is half unstable, half attempting to drive media focus in directions he can handle (for lack of a better word).

This has the potential to be a big problem if it becomes a habit with any US business who dares blink the wrong way at Trump. Once again "unprecedented.

So what did Trump do to piss China off? I remember reading about how they said something along the lines of "War with the US is becoming more of a reality" or something.

China tells Donald Trump, USA to lift its game

Quote:

The Global Times, a provocative but state-sanctioned Chinese newspaper, countered that “unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the islands will be foolish”.

“Tillerson had better bone up on nuclear power strategies if he wants to force a big nuclear power to withdraw from its own territories,” the unbylined opinion piece suggested.

“If Trump’s diplomatic team shapes future Sino-US ties as it is doing now, the two sides had better prepare for a military clash.”

China says they don't want to either because we all have a lot to lose from it. I hope Trump doesn't see how far he can push them.
