Boycott the most famous brand in tacky hospitality

Updated 8:45 AM; Today 8:45 AM
By Star-Ledger Editorial Board

... This isn’t personal. It’s strictly business, one that Trump himself often practices: The departing diva is not only a believer in boycotts, he’s a one-man woke mob who helped found the cancel culture he now decries ...

He even once called for a boycott of Glenfiddich, even though he doesn’t drink scotch, because the company gave its Scotsman of the Year award to a rival who wouldn’t sell him land for a golf course. Michael Cohen, the disgraced attorney, says Trump entered politics only to increase visibility for his brand.

Now it’s time for Trump himself to be boycotted — vetoed, de-platformed, defunded, and unplugged. Trumped, if you will. And we will.

What a laugh! It will house what? Thousands of single-page bulleted memos. And one gold toilet in a men's room.

It took a little more work to boycott those who supported him with money. I wanted to be sure none of it was my money.

What brands are Trump-related?

I had been told that some of the hotels with his name were not owned by Trump, but that he had licensed his name to the hotels.
And I can imagine he's involved with some companies that don't brandish the Trump name.

So which companies/resorts/etc should I be boycotting?

... even entering one of his properties, or playing a round on one of his courses, living or renting in one of his buildings, or having voted for him, will forever be tainted with the blood spilled in his name.

Add the Trump brand to the do not buy list, for sure. Don’t forget to delete Goya brand beans, My Pillow and Loews Hotels. Also include Dixie Products and Georgia Pacific Products owned by the Koch Brothers. If Democrats would actually let their feet walk away from bad companies, America would become a better place.

Trump's Financial Troubles May Be Just Beginning.

It's particularly true for the golf courses he owns, which are a big part of his alleged wealth.

He's got a big hotel here, but of course built it kind of on the edge of the low rent district, off the strip. One of my favorite things about it is that it's a hotel, not a casino. He couldn't get a gambling license here. He's too sketchy for Las Vegas. Think about that for a minute.

... boycotting Trump will only in Rave his idiot Bass and he will have 74 million idiots go out of their way to support his brand.

Just let his cheesy expensive brand name kill itself.
