Ivanka Trump boycott campaign #GrabYourWallet claims retail victory

Shoes.com and Bellacor contact campaign supporters to say
they will stop carrying Trump brand products, but creator
Shannon Coulter sets sights higher

A growing online campaign to persuade American shoppers to boycott Ivanka Trump’s fashion products and the retailers that stock them, called #GrabYourWallet, appears to be biting.

Footwear website Shoes.com stopped selling shoes from the Ivanka Trump Collection shortly after her father became the shock winner of the US presidential election.

Now US interior decor specialist Bellacor has dropped the Trump Home range of chandeliers and other home fittings and accessories from its website.

Both companies had been targeted by California businesswoman Shannon Coulter, who created the hashtag #GrabYourWallet on Twitter in October after the audio tape emerged revealing Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women in 2005.

An inspirational story.

P.S. I don't believe I have ever bought any dumpman (& family) products. I will keep my eye out for it, to be sure.

The only source of their power is their money. They have nothing else without it.

I want to see this entire family crash and burn. I know that's cruel, but I despise what they have brought about in this country and I weep for all the real people that they are going to hurt.

I spoke to people in 2 departments. I was polite and told them I would never buy from them again if they didn't stop selling Trump goods.

Trump and his admin will retaliate. There needs to be so much support for this that the businesses cannot ignore us. Make this viral. Check out the spreadhseet posted below.

Though I wish it were downloadable. For one thing, using spreadsheets on small screens is a total pita.

Even more importantly, I want a copy of this on my own computer. Fuck cloud storage which is vulnerable to disappearance with the Trumpistas in power.
