Early Signs Suggest Trumps Actions Are Taking a Toll on Trump Brand

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Since the day Donald J. Trump began his presidential campaign, there were questions about how the Trump brand would be affected. Would his stream of insults hurt viewership of “The Apprentice,” or sales of Ivanka Trump shoes? Or was all the attention good for business, a marketing adage President Trump could have learned during his time as a reality television star.

The answer may surprise him.

Major companies appear to be re-evaluating their relationship with the Trump brand, which, in some instances, does not appear to have benefited from Mr. Trump’s presidency. Hinting at lackluster sales, Neiman Marcus confirmed on Friday that it had dropped Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line from its website. A day earlier, her brand disappeared from Nordstrom.com. News that the retailers had dropped Ms. Trump’s brand had earlier been reported by Racked.

Other companies also seem worried about how protests over the president’s actions, particularly his recent executive order on immigration, could hurt sales.

1. Weren't hotel stays down, too, and his name being replaced with Scion?

Can't say I'm sad about this. I hope his products tank.

[No Vested Interest]

2. Trump fatigue. Too much too frequently.

Thank the Lord for remotes to change tv stations, and/or the mute button.

3. Well yeah man.

That brand becomes more toxic everyday. And his supporters either can't afford his products, live to far from the stores that do still carry them, and of course, non of his products are camouflage so there's no interest.

4. Trump businesses and the Trump brand are only vanity projects anyway.

If he wasn't bailed out by multiple bankruptcies, he would have nothing. This from a man whose father had 27,000 homes in New York in the 1970s.

5. his notoriety and assholery were brand assets until he attained real power

as long as he was a joke, the more public his shameful behavior and more shameful his public behavior the better for his brand
now everything he says has to be taken seriously and considered in the context of the office he holds and for some inexplicable reason it's just not a draw
