The "she wants to focus on a career in public policy" is bullshit.

Something happened and we aren't being told what it is. Here is a simple question: If she wanted to leave her fashion brand why didn't she sell it? Why just suddenly, without notice shut the whole thing down?

I don't know about you, but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Unless of course the whole thing was about to go bust.

We haven't seen Istanka or her "husband" around for ages. This is indeed Dump family grifting shit.

she would have to open her books to the buyer or buyers.

She may have some line items in there she doesn't want to reveal.

I agree that the "career in public policy" is bullshit. I heard her say today on NPR that she is planning to stay in Washington for the foreseeable future. Um. Yer Dad's not gonna be there that long, Blondie. Is there something we should know?

The stores carrying her junky clothes are not making money on them. Went to a clearance rack in Marshall’s recently and there were a lot of marked down stuff with her label on them.

Watch her get some nice photo-ops in higher level meetings and glowing reviews from the WH and GOP for the staged events

By hiring her you increase your access to Donald Trump.

But she didn't pay for talent, manufactured crap, and it ended up a discount garbage fire company. So pretty much just like every Trump brand enterprise.
