Boycott Trump: A list of businesses to avoid

Donald Trump loves money. Donald Trump is also a racist, xenophobic, ignorant, misogynist who hides behind being against political correctness to get away with his divisive, racist remarks.

If you disagree with Donald Trump and want your voice heard, vote in the presidential election in November and vote with your wallet, every day.

Consumers have already begun to do just that. According to the travel site Hipmunk, bookings for Trump-owned hotels on their site have dropped by 59 percent compared to the same period last year. Overall bookings on the site of other (non-Trump) hotels during the same period have risen.

I know this article is old, but it's worth bringing back up for informational purposes.

I thought there are some places that will not let you order from them unless you use payPal? So people are forced to not get something at all or use it anyway? I am not sure but I seem to remember there being an issue about that once before.

but if it was the case, that would be a big time problem (especially if you're like me and live in the boonies-all stuff, practically, is bought online).

when you buy from sellers on Etsy, a place I use frequently when I'm in the mood to spin up some hand painted luxury yarn.

Even if you just use a card to pay, it has to go through Pay Pal.

I guess I won't be ordering anything until after the election.

Living in Washington State and soon to live in Oregon we on this side of the country are pretty safe from his businesses. I Shop at stores that do not sell for the rich so buying his products is not problematic for me. I just work at avoiding Martha Stewart products.

I went looking around on the 'tubes' to see what they even look like, and discovered you can buy a Trump suit online for $165, yet a necktie costs a whopping $85 dollars. What's up with that?

Not only do they flow over the big bay window, they also cover any inadequacies under the zipper.
