[font size=5]Nearly Half a Million Sign Petition Urging Macy’s to ‘Dump Donald Trump’[/font]

Tired of ignoring Donald Trump and waiting for him to fade away, activist Angelo Carusone has decided to take action — specifically, file a petition urging Macy's to sever all ties with the blowhard billionaire, effective immediately.

Carusone's appeal struck a cord with many, causing his SingOn petition to rack nearly half a million signatures practically overnight.

The signatories' main beef with Trump is his sexist behavior, but also his hypocrisy, his climate change denial, his racially charged birtherism, and a myriad of other terrible things he's become infamous for.

Given the approaching holidays, and the fact that Macy's will be heavily promoting its Trump-brand products, including in a Christmas-themed commercial starring Trump that's set to begin airing soon, the petitioners feel having Macy's "dump Trump" would send a very clear message to the megalomaniacal magnate that he needs to dial down the douchery. ....

and posted "don't shop here as long as Trump is involved." I got 14 likes and no comments in 12 hours. I suggest everyone do the same. Go to Macy's Facebook page and post an anti Trump post. I signed the petition, but I think if we take over a form of their advertising it might also have an effect.
