Is it OK for Trump to use his office to influence companies publicly?

[WaitingFor2020]

So step up and defend Trump's attempt at publicly intimidating retailers and companies into doing business with his kids.
Or if you think it's good that consumers take exception to the Trumps using their public office to influence business for themselves.

What is that emoluments clause again? Would breaking it constitute a high crime or a misdemeanor?

It's a high crime according to the Constitution, but Trump is flapping his yapper about his kid openly because she's not a foreign entity or leader.

I just want the Trumpers to step up and defend Trump's open attempt to intimidate Nordstrom's and use his office as POTUS to prop up his daughter's foreign-made crap in U.S. retail stores.

Sure it just LOOKS like an innocent, whining Tweet, but there's a line that Trump just blatantly crosses. He's not public service material, he's too used to bullying from the executive office of his privately held companies. Period, the fucking end.

I take it you that voted for the loser... genius.

The guy is a complete fuck up.

Trump is trolling the media so easily haha......

I thought his job was to lead the country. Silly me.

But he's losing the social media war, obviously:

"""Shannon Coulter, the founder of Grab Your Wallet, told FORBES that Grab Your Wallet participants have sent more than 230,000 tweets about the movement, generating a reach of 626 million impressions. She is taking Nordstrom's decision as a win for her cause.

Yes! The people who voted against Donald generate two thirds of this nation's economic activity. When we vote w/ our dollars, it's powerful. Martin Hoffmann on Twitter

— Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) February 3, 2017

"We may have lost at the ballot box but we can vote at the cash register every day," she said in a phone interview Friday evening.
One day after the Uber and Nordstrom moves, Neiman Marcus appears to have followed suit.""""

You're the one who doesn't get it. It's against the 1st Amendment for the POTUS to try to interfere with a free press, you stupid idiot.

I take it that you would have voted for the third choice, "I don't know, I'm one of his poorly educated voters.", if you could've (or "could of" in nutter speak) just figured out how to do it.

Chalk up one vote for choice three, WaitingFor2020.

Last week, employees at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls got very clear instructions about where to put signs for Ivanka Trump products: in the garbage.

The TJX Companies, the retailers’ parent company, told employees not to display Ivanka Trump merchandise separately and to throw away Ivanka Trump signs, according to a note to employees on Wednesday, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times.

“Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into the runs,” the note read. “Runs” refers to the normal clothing racks where the majority of products hang. “All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.”

A spokeswoman for the TJX Companies, Doreen Thompson, confirmed that the message had been sent to stores.
