Ivanka Trump Orders, profits Donated to Clinton

I Don't really give a shit who the people I shop from or with support, but this is just fucking stupid!
I've never posted a political sign around my home or business or any sign for that matter. When you do you give 50% of the people a reason to shop somewhere else.

drumpf doesn't have anywhere near the support of 50% of the population. Yes this tactic will probably cause them to lose customers. but considering how negatively drumpf is perceived it may actually increase their customer base.
drumpf is currently running at 32.6% favorable average on realclearpolitics.

Yes and driving a wedge deeper and deeper between the sides. There are stupid people on both sides doing the same thing, look at Macy's. With tensions running so high and consumer confidence so low, why risk permanently removing 130+/- million (using your 32% number) possible customers just so you can ridicule someone and donate $40 split 3 ways? It cant possibly be that they only want Hillary supporters as customers or they would have been advertising completely differently for a while. What point were they trying to make?

I bet if you asked the owners to describe what they don't like about Trump they would accuse him of having the exact type of personality traits you would need to do something as petty as they did.

well, let's see how the plays out in the free market I guess. I see nothing wrong with what they did and would feel the same if it was reversed, I would choose to take my business elsewhere, but that's me. I also don't buy pizza from papa johns, order sandwiches from jimmy johns, eat at chick fil-a, etc, plenty of people do. If businesses choose to make a statement on their beliefs it will always alienate some part of the population.

I guess I don't understand why you would take your business elsewhere is you are OK with what they did.

I see nothing wrong with what they did either but I wouldn't do business with a company who would do it. There's a difference between seeing something as acceptable in general and acceptable to you. Personally I think this was a douche move but so be it. The market will decide how stupid a decision it was to make it public.

well we all know the company name is lady grey and can go and buy on the online store. I assume for a product like this the exposure will bring in more business then any loss from some hillbilly lady.

It's free advertising for a "small NY jewelry store". Trump has ran his campaign mostly the same way, sensationalism for headlines.

It's their business I guess, I bet they will see an increase in sales.

I am not sure how you do that....

huh?

 

[zinfamous]

$84 split between 3 charities?

OK, it's more of a douchey move because that kind of scratch doesn't really mean anything.

Besides, Ivanka and Jared are extremely close with Chelsea and her husband. I'm sure they've already donated far, far more to the Clintons over the years.

huh?

Huh what? You said:

You say that your OK with it but would take your business somewhere else. I don't understand why you would do that if you are OK with what they did. Where did you get lost?
Usually people who are OK with a companies policies stay with them, you are saying you are OK with what they did but would choose to find another place to buy. Do you often leave business you agree with in search of those you do not to spend your money with?

Its not even $84, it was the proceeds from that sale, not the total amount.

A business's decision to be political is between them and their investors.
The consumers will already boycott as they see fit.

sorry, I wasn't being clear, if they chose to support drumpf in the same manner, they would not get my business. but it's their choice to support whomever they want. and that's what I meant by being ok with it.

I am not sure how you do that....

It's easy. What they did is permissible. As a buisness they are free to choose how they operate as long as it falls within the boundaries of the law. There's is nothing wrong with them doing it.

On a personal level I find it tacky and a bad decision. But that is my opinion. I'm not the measure of what is right or wrong. I can only decide what I find acceptable to me and whether or not I would choose to support a business who takes such a step.

The question was not; "is it permissible or allowable", is was a right or wrong question. A company is permitted to take out a national ad telling people to shop somewhere else because they hate people and will spit on their purchase. Doesn't make it smart.

But you didn't say it was permissible, you said:

I see nothing wrong with what they did

Its really hard to have a conversation when people type things different than what they meant to convey.

Yeah, it's minimal and not even $84 bucks split, just the profit.

Like I'd said, just looks like a free advertising thing for them on a national scale.

They just latched onto the fact Ivanka bought something there, and ran with it. But of course that is how Trump works and Ivanka has been getting campaign kickbacks from Daddy anyway, so it does make it a bit humorous in that light.

Someone donated money to Donald, she got a kick back, ordered jewelry, they sent a couple bucks to Clinton, etc.

There is some trickle down in action

I don't know why they'd make such a big fuss over $84, unless something tells them that their clientele would appreciate it (free advertising.) Somewhat douchey to humblebrag about donating <$84 between 3 organizations. Would be a bigger deal if Ivanka spent 5 or 6 figures on a piece.

Keep in mind its not the entire purchase price that was donated, just the profit. S what like $20-$40?

Something like this is "news"? Seriously?

News worthy, no, but it is politics.
