I have no idea how any stores are surviving. It's just to easy to order online.
This past Christmas someone in my family wanted a certain sweater from Talbots. I actually drove to the store and when I arrived the salesperson had never seen what I was looking for. I had to drive back home and order it from Talbot online. It arrived a few days later in time for Christmas.
As for the politics, anyone blaming Trump for this is an ignorant, partisan hack.
