Oops!  Guess there are many more Republicans with jobs, than Democrats.

"Ivanka Trump’s eponymous women’s fashion line is reporting record sales figures despite calls for a boycott and controversies surrounding President Trump.

“Since the beginning of February, they were some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand,” Abigail Klem, the president of the Ivanka Trump fashion brand, tells Refinery29 in an interview published Tuesday. “For several different retailers Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the [brand’s] best performance ever.”

The news of a sales surge comes after Nordstrom announced in early February that it would no longer carry the 35-year-old’s clothing and accessories, citing poor product sales. The move caused President Trump to tweet shortly after the announcement that his daughter was being “treated so unfairly” by the luxury department store giant. 

Last month, Neiman Marcus stopped carrying the first daughter's jewelry line on its website, and employees of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores were instructed to throw away any signage advertising her wares.

The Office of Government Ethics recommended disciplinary action against White House adviser Kellyanne Conway after she urged viewers to “go buy Ivanka’s stuff” during a February interview on “Fox & Friends.”

A campaign called Grab Your Wallet, which is critical of the Trump administration, asked shoppers to boycott retailers with any Ivanka or Donald TrumpDonald TrumpReport: Obama was furious after Trump accused him of wiretapping Union president blasts GOP healthcare plan after meeting with TrumpKaine attacks 'TrumpCare' on TwitterMORE-branded products.

According to the e-commerce aggregator Lyst, from January to February, Ivanka Trump sales increased 346 percent, Refinery29 writes.

The mother of three announced in January that she would take a formal leave of absence from her apparel and accessories firm after her father became commander in chief, saying she would “no longer be involved with the management or operations” of the company.

Klem, a registered Democrat, says she attempts to limit any chatter between herself and the company’s namesake. “I really like Ivanka. We're business associates. We're very close in a way. … But I want to do this with real integrity. So I feel like, while we're not banned from speaking personally, I think it's easier if we talk as little as possible.”

Ethics counselors advised that the company cease using images of Ivanka Trump in “new promotional, advertising, or marketing materials,” according to the profile piece on Klem. The guidance apparently doesn’t impact existing marketing materials, such as the company’s website.

"It's unprecedented what this brand is dealing with,” says Klem. “We are really committed to having the brand be separate, even from [Ivanka], so certainly her dad is even more distant from that. We're committed to doing everything we can to carve an identity for this brand that is about what the brand stands for and the core brand attributes. And so absolutely, it complicated matters.”

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!

Original Post

Replies sorted oldest to newest

1.) Hillary isn't President.  I am sure you didn't forget that.

2.) She does not tweet nearly as much as him (AND AGAIN SHE IS NOT PRESIDENT)

3.) He just doesn't tweet.  He goes on twitter rants that rival that of stark raving mad sports fans (or Michael Rapaport, whichever you prefer)

4.) If not disavowing support from numerous white supremacist organizations, calling synagogue bomb threats possible inside jobs, and singling out hispanics and muslims when trumpeting (no pun intended), your ignorant socials stances and possibly illegal executive orders, then I don't know what makes you xenophobic.   

Hillary wanted to be president, and you nor I have any idea how much she "tweets", or how much the others do it. I'd wager they are chattering constantly. Did Hillary disavow the support she got from the white supremists? Did Obama or Hillary ever disavow the support they get from black hate groups?  Did Hillary or Obama disavow the support and money they got from foreign mysogynistic countries while claiming to be an advocate for women's and others' rights? No, they embrace it. Trump hasn't singled out anyone that isn't engaging in illegal activities, and that WS support BS is just that, BS. Again, the unhinged left are hypocrites.

Obviously you are very comfortable with his overt racism.  Not really surprising but now I know where you stand.

As far as, I don't know how much they tweet?  Apparently you are unfamiliar with how the internet works.  I follow both on Twitter and am very well aware of how much they tweet and the nature of their tweets.  No one can hold a candle to the Commander-In-Tweets.

I don't tweet. However, how is he racist?

Just a few off the top of my head...

-Stated a judge was biased because "he's Mexican."

-Sued twice by the Justice department for not renting to African Americans.

-Refused to condemn white supremacists who advocated for him

-Always uses the term "the" when speaking of minorities as if to make all of that race interchangeable  "the blacks" "the mexicans" etc.

There are many more, but that was enough for now.  I understand for Republicans this is the status quo so it doesn't seem off kilter or out of bounds, but he is most definitely a supremacist.

OK, did the stores that "dropped" her line ever say why they were doing it? I'm thinking no, if I remember correctly, and I'm not real sure it had anything to do with the president. Too, most took it out of the stores, not off their websites. I'd think they would have some sort of contract to be able to sell it in the first place and couldn't just drop it cold turkey. Too,  the stores that took her products out of the storefront stores are on life support anyway, and most likely they let the left make claims in a last gasp effort to try to garner some sort of support for their failing stores. Lastly, **** the left. A more violent, racist, UNHINGED (good one), hypocritical, criminal, useless POS bunch never existed than the freaking demoslops.

Hilliary had no problem putting on her hijab and bowing to men when she was going to get her some of that muzzie money. Too, this old cow, the "champion" of women, blasted Trump for doing a he!! of a lot less than her old wandering hound dog rapist husband did time after time! She called his victims bimbos. She liked to flap those gums but I never heard a peep out of her when the muzzie dad in NY shaved his grown daughter's head and eyebrows after she LIED about men attacking her in the name of Trump. Did he shave them for lying? Nope! The racist, bigoted POS muzzie shaved them because she dated a Christian, (white) guy. But neither jug ears obama or hilliary made a peep about that or any of the other cases where muzzie women, and others, lied about being attacked by Trump supporters. Calling the left hypocrites is the kindest thing you can say about the POS.

Per Monkeys Uncle “Refused to condemn white supremacists who advocated for him”

Trump has condemned David Duke for 25 years.  That’s not enough time? 

exchange on “Larry King Live,” shortly after Duke lost a race for governor of Louisiana, Nov. 19, 1991

2000

“The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-****, Mr. [Patrick] Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. [Lenora] Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep.”

— Trump, in a statement saying he will not accept the Reform Party nomination for president, Feb. 13, 2000

NBC’s Matt Lauer: “When you say the [Reform] party is self-destructing, what do you see as the biggest problem with the Reform Party right now?”

Trump: “Well, you’ve got David Duke just joined — a bigot, a racist, a problem. I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party.”

—remarks on NBC’s “Today Show,” Feb. 14, 2000

2015

Bloomberg’s John Heilemann: “How do you feel about the David Duke quasi-endorsement?”

Trump: “I don’t need his endorsement; I certainly wouldn’t want his endorsement. I don’t need anyone’s endorsement.”

Heilemann: “Would you repudiate David Duke?”

Trump: “Sure, I would do that, if it made you feel better. I don’t know anything about him. Somebody told me yesterday, whoever he is, he did endorse me. Actually I don’t think it was an endorsement. He said I was absolutely the best of all of the candidates.”

— exchange during an interview on Bloomberg Politics, Aug. 26, 2015

2016

“Voting for these people [Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz], voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage. I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”

— David Duke, on his radio program, Feb. 25, 2016 

Question: “How do you feel about the recent endorsement from David Duke?”

Trump:“I didn’t even know he endorsed me. David Duke endorsed me? Okay, all right. I disavow, okay?”

— Trump, in response to a question at a news conference, Feb. 26

 

CNN’s Jake Tapper:“I want to ask you about the Anti-Defamation League, which this week called on you to publicly condemn unequivocally the racism of former KKK grand wizard David Duke, who recently said that voting against you at this point would be ‘treason to your heritage.’ Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don’t want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?” 

Trump: “Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. Okay? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me or what’s going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you’re asking me a question that I’m supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.” 

Tapper: “But I guess the question from the Anti-Defamation League is, even if you don’t know about their endorsement, there are these groups and individuals endorsing you. Would you just say unequivocally you condemn them and you don’t want their support?” 

Trump: “Well, I have to look at the group. I mean, I don’t know what group you’re talking about. You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. I would have to look. If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them. And, certainly, I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong.” 

Tapper: “The Ku Klux Klan?” 

Trump: “But you may have groups in there that are totally fine, and it would be very unfair. So, give me a list of the groups, and I will let you know.” 

Tapper: “Okay. I mean, I’m just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, but…”

Trump: “I don’t know any — honestly, I don’t know David Duke. I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him.” 

Tapper:“All right.” 

— exchange on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Feb. 28 

Trump:“I’m sitting in a house in Florida, with a very bad earpiece that they gave me, and you could hardly hear what he was saying. But what I heard was ‘various groups.’ And I don’t mind disavowing anybody and I disavowed David Duke. And I disavowed him the day before at a major news conference…. I have no problem disavowing groups, but I’d at least like to know who they are. It would be very unfair to disavow a group if the group shouldn’t be disavowed. I have to know who the groups are. But I disavowed David Duke.”

— Interview with NBC’s “Today Show,” Feb. 29 

ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos:“So, are you prepared right now to make a clear and unequivocal statement renouncing the support of all white supremacists?”

Trump: “Of course, I am. I mean, there’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have. You take a look at Palm Beach, Florida, I built the Mar-a-Lago Club, totally open to everybody; a club that frankly set a new standard in clubs and a new standard in Palm Beach and I’ve gotten great credit for it. That is totally open to everybody. So, of course, I am.

–exchange on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” March 1

Trump: “We had a news conference and they asked me the exact same question. I said I disavow. Now, right after the program that we’re talking about — and I thought it was clear, but you know, we’re talking about groups, groups, groups. I do have to know the name of the group because, who knows? I mean, they have to give me the name of the group. But right after, when I reviewed it, I put out a tweet and I put out on Facebook that I totally disavow. Now everybody knew I did that but the press refused to look at that. It was right after. And I disavowed then; I disavowed today on ABC with George Stephanopoulos, I disavowed again. I mean, how many times are you supposed to disavow? But I disavow and hopefully it’s the final time I have to do it. But if you look at Facebook and if you look at Twitter, right after the show I put out a statement because I want everybody to be sure.”

You know nothing about me. Obviously you are comfortable with the left's racism, and have zero examples of racism from Trump. I know how the internet works , and how the left uses it to spread their lies.

Thanks for posting that Tapper interview and proving my point Dire.  Didn't k now you were on my side!  Nice to know!  I mean really, how many times do you have to be asked a direct question about David Duke and KKK and still not answer?   Then eventually, after numerous interviews, finally say "I disavow ok."  Sounds like a criminal who was finally badgered enough by the police they just admit the crime because its draining them.

 

Sadly Gifted, it appears you do not know how the internet works.  When Donald posts something directly on Twitter that is asinine, maniacal and quite frankly ignorant.. "the left" doesn't have to do anything but let the Commander-In-Tweets keep on tweeting.

Reading comprehension must be one of the skills Monkey didn't learn.

Per Monkey: " I mean really, how many times do you have to be asked a direct question about David Duke and KKK and still not answer?"

Trump has disavowed Duke numerous times.  Some how, Monkey doesn't believe any of those count!

"2000

“The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-****, Mr. [Patrick] Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. [Lenora] Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep.”

— Trump, in a statement saying he will not accept the Reform Party nomination for president, Feb. 13, 2000"

 

I can comprehend fine.  I also understand timelines.  He apparently said that in 2000, but then refused to say it in an interview with Tapper 16 years later.   Kind of odd huh?  I remember in 2000 I was chained to old dogma that I was brought up with.  I believed homosexuality to be an abomination and that gays shouldn't marry.  I believed in the concept that if you committed suicide you went to Hell because you died with mortal sin on your soul.

Now 16 years later, I believe there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and that gays should have every right to marry just as heterosexuals.  I also have very different views toward suicide.  My first thought is always empathy as what that person must have been going through had to be awful to do such a thing.   Also, not too sure I believe in the existence of hell.

Which is more closely related to who I am now?  How I felt in 2000 or what I felt in 2016?  I will let you figure that one out, chief.
