(1,678 posts)Oddly enough, I cant help thinking a boycott would be a lot more satisfying if it was against something I actually patronized
I dont feel like Im helping much to say, Yeah, I never buy that and now I never will.
But seriously, how weird is it that even crap like overpriced make-up should be financially backing the orange bawbag?

(75,902 posts)I did some work with that company in the past. Both in the US & in France.
They were one of the customers I worked with where everybody I dealt with was really nice & cordial.
Good people working for a villain, I guess.

Ronald Lauder in 2018 suggested to Trump that the US should buy Greenland. He has since been buying assets there and has been encouraging Trump to demand a share of Ukraine mineral wealth.
He has known Trump for 60 years.
This is vulture capitalism.
Estée Lauder's odious son was the one who first drilled the idea of owning Greenland in Trump's head.

He is bullying for more business of his in Greenland and not in a way that would be fair to the locals.
It is time to #BoycottEsteeLauder
Paul Singer donated million to Trump's PAC. Then he bought Venezuela's Citgo Texas+Louisiana refineries. Then Trump deposed Maduro to force Venezuela to export crude oil to Singer's new refineries.

Ronald Lauder invested in Greenland. Then donated million to Trump's "MAGA Inc".
And now...
This is why Trump is threatening to bring down NATO?
