Trump calls for Macy’s Christmas boycott

By Bradford Richardson

Donald Trump is urging supporters not to do their Christmas shopping at Macy's in retaliation for the department store dumping his signature business clothing line.

“Good news, disloyal Macy’s stock is in total free fall,” Trump said in a Facebook post on Friday, accompanied by the company’s stock chart. “Don’t shop there for Christmas!”

Macy’s in July decided to drop Trump’s merchandise in response to controversial comments he made about Mexican immigrants, calling them "killers and rapists" in his campaign launch speech.

I guess he's Thinking About the middle class that makes $250k/yr not the one that makes $25k/yr.

You get an extra 25% off of already marked down stuff. I bought my friend a cute little music box.

I take it that's only on the stuff that's already marked down.

Too bad, the stuff I'll be looking for likely won't be marked down at this time. But maybe I'll see something else worthwhile!

(is that good at the store too or just on line?)
