Dollar General stores ditch Ivanka fashions

IP 2/8/17
-Carl Onstead

Ralph Noble, CEO of Dollar General Stores LLC, today in a press release, stated that Dollar General would no longer offer Ivanka Trump branded merchandise for sale in their stores.

"We at Dollar General take pride in offering only the finest merchandise at the lowest prices. Unfortunately Ivanka Trump branded items failed to meet even our questionable quality standards."

In another thread, I almost said that pretty soon the only store that will sell her merch will be Dollar General.

Eventually Trump and his ilk will rue the day he ever ran for the presidency as the brand is ruined and in shambles, like his mind!

Which is a chain of discount stores that sell stuff that didn't sell at high-end stores. Love the place. She didn't buy any towels but noted the Made in China tag.
Not Ivanka's brand, just "Trump" I'm thinking there was (is) a line of towels, sheets etc.

Said their spox, "It's the worst brand, just the worst brand ever created. Believe me."
Existing stock will be put in the bailer and shipped overseas for use as rags an rubble for building sites.
