C'mon Trumpster, Make Macy's Great Again! Make Sears Great Again! Make a deal! Make a deal! ?????

How come old Trumpster isn't at Sears making deals? How come he isn't at Macy's making deals and sitting down with them and helping them re-do their business plans and making THEM great again???????? They are both shutting down tons of stores and thousands of people are losing their jobs. C'mon Mr. Great Business guy. Make them great again!!!

It is like heads I win, tails you lose. Trump takes credit for successes, which he has nothing to do with, and will blame Obama for any failures. Welcome to the next four years.

marked down 10-30% and they had every cash register operating for the first time in years.
Just wondering maybe if they would have kept more than one register open and had some
customer service the last several years maybe they wouldn't be closing. I don't know how many
times I have gone in the store to pick up one or two items and had to stand in line 5 or 10 minutes
at the one register to pay for it. Many times I have just put the item back on the shelf and walked out
empty handed. You get in line with 5 people in front of you and there is someone that has 25 items and
it never fails there is a price check and you wait and wait. I hate to use them it eliminates jobs but I notice
the stores where they have the self check kiosks you don't have those bottlenecks. I hate to see Kmart go
I always went there and only went to Walmart as a last resort. Then there is Walmart the customer
service is even worse there and somehow they are thriving.

That is the million dollar question.

Sure doesn't seem like we are.

I hope enough Americans start to realize that it would help them by doing it.

For goods made in China, Bangladesh, etc.

Walmart seems to be doing quite well using that model.

Might be tough for Americans to pay significantly more money for those goods.

with our Macy's gone. If our Sears goes too it is doomed for sure! Lots of jobs lost in the Trump administration. Bet he doesn't own that, just the good stuff. He is such a joke!

Even the most ignorant and stupid will see through him if he stays in office 1-2 years before he is either impeached or removed for mental disability.

So far just the Kmart is closing but they say Sears and Macy's is just hanging by a thread. Help us Donald!

To an European store called Primark (which is like a larger H&M but it has a small home goods department). So far I'm impressed with Primark, but definitely a different audience than Sears (younger). Every time I've been there, the parking lot is packed for Primark (never was for Sears).

There is a Sears on the opposite end with several empty rooms why not move Kmart pharmacy there?
I ask the drugest today she said that would be the obvious thing to do but they would rather put everyone out of work.

I mean, he SAID that Mexico was going to pay for it, right? So why hasn't Mr. Super-Duper Dealmaker already gotten a signed, sealed commitment from them?

C'mon, hotshot. Show us what ya got.
