Nordstrom has decided to stop carrying Ivanka Trump's brand, the retailer told Business Insider on Thursday.

The company said the brand's declining sales led to its decision.

"Each year we cut about 10% [of brands carried] and refresh our assortment with about the same amount," a Nordstrom spokesperson told Business Insider. "In this case, based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season."

Nordstrom's decision comes amid calls for a boycott against retailers that carry Trump products. .....................

1. Cue Hair Doofenschmirtz and his twitrage

Telling his legions of followers what a terrible store Nordstrom's is and how it's fallen so low Ivanka doesn't want her line sold tehre

[Tree-Hugger]

7. Good luck, Trump.

Their Anniversary Sale is practically axreligiois holiday.

[Phoenix61]

8. His followers have never shopped at Nordstrom

[rpannier]

11. His followers don't do a lot of things

But that doesn't mean they won't read his latest floutrage

[Hamlette]

22. no, but Nordstrom shoppers were the reason. The Tump name will be mud if we have our way.

I wrote them and told them I wouldn't shop there again. Now I will again, they have a great brand of shirt. I've worn nothing else for 15 years. Foxcroft 100% cotton and it does not wrinkle!

[not fooled]

39. Yes, let his imbecilic fans support her by buying her crap

Oh wait, the 'pukes have been decimating the middle & working classes for decades...that's why his dimwitted adherents can't afford her junk.

To be fair to Ms. I, she probably figures that after Darth Cheney and the no-bid contracts for Iraq + all the other grifts the 'pukes have gotten away with, she could grift off daddy's coattails and no one would notice.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. K Mart could be a good fit

[cstanleytech]

10. You might be right, imagine the sales power of the morally bankrupt working with the

financially bankrupt?

[izzybella]

3. Poor performance?

I think the Trump family may be discovering how bad the Trump family is for business.

[dflprincess]

9. I've told this story before so if you've heard it, I apologize

I was at Macy's shopping for a winter coat last fall (before the election).

A clerk came up to see if she could help and when I said I was looking for a coat she immediately pointed out one from the "Ivanka Trump Collection" to me. I just gave her "a look" over the top of my glasses and she said to me "We can't give those away."

To be fair, it was not a bad looking coat but it was not what I was looking for and, most importantly, it was part of the "Ivanka Trump Collection".

I should have known something was up when the clerk came over to see if I needed help because, besides at the cosmetics collection when was the last time a clerk at Macy's offered personal service? They must have been told to push Ivanka's crap.

[RegexReader]

36. be realistic

Ivanka made some serious bank off of it.

And if you want to poke at "Bernie Busters" about the past election, why didn't we get to hear or read the transcripts of Hillary's speeches to Wall Street. That sarcastic saw can cut both ways. And be realistic, both Bernier and Hillary are too old for the next POTUS run.

We need to take this to the street and get some new blood at the top.

[calimary]

4. YES!!!!

Calls for a boycott against retailers that carry Trump products - is one great reason.

But THIS part: The company said the brand's declining sales led to its decision. THIS part is pure ecstasy!

Declining sales for poor widdle Ivanka!?! Boo-hoo? Nah! WOOHOOO!!!

[LisaM]

5. They carried it to begin with?

I don't shop there often but I've never seen it there and it doesn't seem like a top brand anyway.

[Doitnow]

6. I think I'll go shopping at Nordstrom's this weekend.

[ananda]

12. OK

Maybe I'll go shopping at their Rack soon.

[JDC]

13. Flame me for saying this but I don't hate Ivanka and

I don't relish in her losses because she has a crazy, fascist father and her last name is Trump. Of all of the Trump kids, she seems to be the most decent. That may not be saying much, but I have a daughter and my mistakes are not her's. I know, I know she is riding shotgun and probably acting as first lady - which is beyond just unseemly - but girls love their dads.

[chimpymustgo]

15. She has a crazy, fascist father whom she HELPED get elected to build their business and destroy our

country. She is an ACTIVE participant - and her husband - in this treason.

She's an awful, lying grifter - with a surgically enhanced "pretty face." Dangerous. "She seems the most decent"? Okay, fooled you and a bunch of others. That's all part of their evil plan.

Get woke and stay there.

[Raster]

18. I could not agree more! Each and every time ANYONE tries to "normalize" anything tRump*...

...they should be corrected immediately. Ivanka and her Svengali husband are major tRump* enablers. She is supposedly a very smart woman. Daughter or not, she knows her father shouldn't be anywhere near the Oval Office.

Fuck Ivanka tRump*! Fuck Jared Kushner*! I hope history mauls the shit out of them.

Thank you!

[dalton99a]

46. +1

[JDC]

20. Ok,

I Hear you. However, I am really starting to focus on how I was fooled by our feckless Democratic Party this past season. I've been woken up alright, but it was by a slap in the face as to how shitty and spineless my elected officials really are. And they have a big D behind their name. They are as big a grifter as she is I hate to tell you.


Your point about being an active participant in this treason is well taken. I agree and concede the point.

[JI7]

24. you seem to hate Democrats more than Ivanka. you expressed sympathy for her here while

attacking democrats .


who was shitty without a spine ? russ feingold ? is that why he lost ?

[Charles Bukowski]

28. Bernie Busters

are STILL try to rationalize that both parties are the same? Lol, unreal.

[JDC]

30. Bullshit

Never followed or voted for Bernie. Voted HRC in primary and general. Knocked on doors AGAIN for HRC. I'm just a realist. The unreal part is your refusal to see why we have lost on every level of government across the country. It is a distinct failure of the Democratic Party and its leadership. What's unreal is your inability to stare in the mirror and call weak spade a weak spade. Weak democrats lost the elections - plural. Everywhere. Did the Russians do that? Did Bernie do that? Did Jill Stein do that? Did a strong Democratic Party have their SCOTUS robbed from them or did they get rid of the filibuster 6 MONTHS into the process and meekly give it away-thinking the whole time they had it sewn up? How's that going to work out now for you Harry? They are the same in that they are bought and paid for by corporations. Take an inventory for f sake. But rather I'd guess you'll be pining away waiting for Hillary and Bill's next date night pic or her new book to reveal her deep '16 reflection to give you closure. That's the "lol" of it.

[JI7]

32. dismissing the Russian hack and sympathy for poor Ivanka while bashing Democrats

[JDC]

37. The conversation changed, sorry I don't pass your loyalty test

[JDC]

31. Any democrat that has or is about to "keep their powder dry"

On these ridiculous cabinet pics is spineless.

[JI7]

33. you are the one feeling sorry for poor ivanka

[Laffy Kat]

17. She is not a "girl."

She is a grown woman and actively supports and promotes her fascist father. And you think it's "unseemly"? For God's sake.

[JI7]

25. there is nothing decent about her. she is as shitty as her dad and brothers are.

[Squinch]

34. She is a grown woman who knows how destructive he is. She pushed him forward for President, to

place all of us in the dire jeopardy we are in today. She doesn't get sympathy for me.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

40. I understand the women she employees

don't get maternity leave.

That actually is a good reason to hate her.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. Good... way overdue, but, better late than never.

[Cha]

16. This is FREAKING HUGE!!! Nobody who has a working brain wants

to be associated with that Stinking brand.

[MFM008]

19. since THEY wont do it

someone has to.............

[PeopleAgainstHate]

21. Ivanka brand today, tabloids tomorrow

The alt-right pro-Trump hate-filled tabloids that all of us grocery shoppers have to look at when standing in the checkout lanes need to go. Please sign our Move On petition:
done is post a petition on Move On.

http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/stop-selling-hate-filled?source=c.fwd&r_by=17478167

And here is a link to an article from Politico that lays it all out about the damage the tabloids do. If you don't want to read the whole article, please at least read this one paragraph from it:

"It’s easy to imagine that tabloids don’t matter; the Enquirer is a relatively small voice in the media kingdom, with a weekly circulation of only 342,071, down from the 5.9 million it commanded in the 1970s. But that misses the importance of the constant cultural background noise it adds to American life: There are 37,000 supermarkets in America, with an average of about 10 checkout stands each, and many stands feature a wire rack displaying the Enquirer, the Globe, often the company’s other tab, the National Examiner, and celebrity magazines. According to an industry study, American households make an average of 1.5 trips to the supermarket each week. Every customer passes by the checkout stand, which means that even people who never purchase a tabloid still absorb the ambient headlines, and those headlines can shape their view of the world."

[Squinch]

35. I noticed that since people have begun to turn the Enquirer around on the racks, the headlines

no longer mention Trump for the last few weeks.

I think the "checkout line" protest must have had an effect.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

23. HA!!

[Lint Head]

26. Excellent. They say money is free speech. Well that

big green carving knife cuts both ways.

[oldtime dfl_er]

27. So pleased about this!!

I love Nordstroms but I wrote and told them I wouldn't shop there anymore and was about to make my last payment on my credit card, which I would then close out. Now I don't have to!!!

I wish Michelle Obama would design a line of clothes.

[YOHABLO]

29. Declining sales? Gee wonder why?

[Xolodno]

38. Wonder how long before we see the surplus....

...in discount retailers like Burlington Coat Factory, Factory 2 U, Ross, etc.

[Grammy23]

42. I saw her purses at TJ Maxx a couple of months ago.

The last time I was there (a couple of weeks ago) they were not to be found. I looked for them because they had been on a side wall, displayed together with no other brands beside the Trump purses. They were not there, nor on racks with the other purses.

[rurallib]

45. Dollar General, Dollar Store ..........

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

41. Where are her clothes made?

I have a nagging suspicion that they are NOT made in the United States of America by union workers.

What's this about bringing jobs back to this country?

[kskiska]

43. I saw some of her dresses in a local Steinmart and Marshall's.

They were "Made in Vietnam."

[smirkymonkey]

44. Oh, well I am sure her company pays them well and gives them fantastic benefits!
