... This isnt personal. Its strictly business, one that Trump himself often practices: The departing diva is not only a believer in boycotts, hes 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 doesnt drink scotch, because the company gave its Scotsman of the Year award to a rival who wouldnt sell him land for a golf course. Michael Cohen, the disgraced attorney, says Trump entered politics only to increase visibility for his brand.
Now its time for Trump himself to be boycotted vetoed, de-platformed, defunded, and unplugged. Trumped, if you will. And we will.

(6,927 posts)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.

(523 posts)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?

(151 posts)Add the Trump brand to the do not buy list, for sure. Dont 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.

(3,056 posts)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.

(6,699 posts)... 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.
