Donald Trump blasts department store Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka's line, raising new concern on business ties

I'm sure you've all heard the story by now. So Nordstrom makes a commercial decision to drop Ivanka's line, and Trump uses (abuses) the office of POTUS to attack this commercial decision.

Nordstrom's share price immediately drops - in case anyone has any doubts about the influence statements coming out of the office of POTUS has.

But as if that wasn't bad enough. We now have Mrs Alternative Facts also using (abusing) the office of POTUS to shamelessly plug a business who just happens to be owned by the daughter of the POTUS.

Even putting aside for one moment the fact that there is actually a law against this behaviour, ethically, how on earth can anyone defend such blatantly corrupt behaviour? Boges? Mechanic? Sprint? By all means I invite you to try. Do the fanboys at least concede that Trump has some serious conflicts of interest here?

No thats perfectly within the scope of POTUS roles.

I'm sure Panther will be here to say its allowed in the constitution

The fanboys already have defended this.

"Just a father sticking up for his daughter. Nothing to see here".

Sexual assault.

Alleged child rape.

Failure to pay taxes.

Failure to pay contractors.

Lying every time he opens his mouth.

There's nothing the fanboys won't defend.

Absolutely nothing.

I'll save you the trouble, cods.

"The White House on Thursday said a top adviser to President Trump had been “counseled” after using a television appearance from the West Wing to promote the clothing and jewelry line sold under the brand of Trump’s daughter.

"The endorsement, in which Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Channel viewers to “go buy Ivanka’s stuff,” appeared to violate a key ethics rule barring federal employees from using their public office to endorse products — and the White House reaction was a rare acknowledgment of an ethical misstep."

Indeed.

Just "sticking it up his daughter".

Sorry, "sticking up for his daughter".

I agree.....but we should all care......care that the Freedom of Speech.....The First Amendment to the US Constitution.....is under attack by those that would wish the President would stop using his Constitutional Rights to voice his opinions, solely because they hate him.

Who gave "them" the right to decide who has the Right to the Freedom of Speech, & who does not?

To "them", the dummy-spitting leftards worldwide, I simply say......tough titty when ya gotta chew the milk girls....

Get used to it. The President retains his Right to Free Speech guaranteed to All American Citizens, just now more people listen & more people will react.........it only gets sweeter from here!
