1. Macy's Dumps Trump

This is fabulous news. I swear I signed a petition about this 5 years ago

Looks like Teflon Don, finally got scrubbed

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

2. I'm sure Trump will try to use these recent events to his advantage

saying he sticks to his conservative principles, even if it costs him money. And besides, he'll say, he's filthy rich and he will barely notice the losses. What I wonder about is whether he's been as rich and successful in the past as he claims. Didn't Lawrence O'Donnell do an expose on him a few years ago, proving that he doesn't have nearly as much money as he wants us to believe? Didn't Trump file for bankruptcy several time before? Are there court records showing his finances as part of his divorce proceedings? What about his tax returns, if and when he agrees to release them?

[wordpix]

5. I wonder about his finances, too - Trump is a developer but seems that he's dependent on

Macy's, NBC, etc. so how's his real estate doing?

I recall many yrs. ago he either declared bankruptcy or was close to it. He was then able to rebuild and ostensibly appeared more successful than ever, but who knows? That one piece of paper he showed with his assets was a complete farce. No one with his kind of finances could put all assets and liabilities on one page.

14. Hasn't he declared bankruptcy like 4 times? Some business model he has there. What's he

going to do as President--sell of New Hampshire to the Chinese to balance the budget? What a putz.

[Ernst Blofeld]

21. Bankruptcy 4 times divorced twice .. a traditionalist!

Sometimes to make an omelet you have to break a few eggs

[Fred Sanders]

3. "America Fires Racist Trump, Threatens to Sue America, "Where is my freedom to be a racist!?".

[Roland99]

4. How many times has he filed bankruptcy for businesses?

[amuse bouche]

6. I think Forbes said 4 times

Trump says it is a good business model. Imagine screwing over thousands of workers and vendors is
good business. Who knew?

[Roland99]

9. Gordon Gecko would have been proud

[vkkv]

7. Estás Despedido!

ти звільнений!
คุณถูกไล่ออก!
tu es viré!
máš padáka!
wewe ni fired!
jūs esat atlaists!
jesteś zwolniony!
je bent ontslagen!
انت مطرود!

[Snotcicles]

8. I don't want him to flame-out quite yet. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. To all his detractors Trump yells

There will be hell toupee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brer cat]

11. !

[nomorenomore08]

36. He already has the "toupee from hell."

[SoapBox]

12. Pure...Evil...Scum.

He (among a few others) are exactly what is WRONG with America.

Feel the Bern, Trumpster.

[LynneSin]

13. As a female shopper I think people should dump the Ivanka Trump line too

She is endorsing her father - she was there and introduced him the day he made that rant. I see her shitty clothes everywhere and of course I won't even consider buying any of it. I hope stores consider dropping her line too.

[rocktivity]

15. At the rate he's going

I just hope he has a job to fall back on if he loses!

17. Fewer things in life would be as charming as one day seeing Donald Trump

selling ties out of the trunk of his car in a seedier section of downtown New York City.

[Jester Messiah]

16. Seems like America is tired of The Donald's shit.

'bout time.

[jaxind]

18. Only After 1 Day!

All this just after day 1 of his campaign trail....can't wait to see what the rest of his campaign has in store for him...ha ha!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. The Right's response: #peopleofwalmart > #boycottmacys

[louis-t]

20. Many years ago I bought 2 of his shirts.

They were on sale at Macy's for 2 for $35. The tag said 'medium'. They were not medium, more like extra large. I gave one away and can't wear the other one.

[Ernst Blofeld]

24. You're embarrassed?

I bought one of his books .. for my wife .. she liked him back then. Fortunately I never read it.

[lonestarnot]

38. Hecho en Mexico.

[gordianot]

22. An epic fall cometh. Who deserves it more?

[Initech]

23. One thing is perfectly clear: this is a great example of what not to do in a campaign.

And this will be in future textbooks for future generations - what should you not do in a presidential campaign? I know! Don't attack one third of the voter base during your campaign launch speech!!!

[tclambert]

25. NBC to Trump: You're fired.

[red dog 1]

32. Good one!

[The Last Dem.]

34. Now you can

selling reverse mortgages on TV.

[awoke_in_2003]

26. He is probably the only person

in history to lose money running a casino. That takes a special kind of stupid.

[dorkzilla]

29. Indeed!

People come in with loads of cash they’re already planning on blowing and he goes belly up? There is something clearly missing in his self-proclaimed business acumen. My dog is a better businessman than Trump.

[Angry Dragon]

27. It would be good for Donald to be their man

[classof56]

28. Well he did sell a $15 million hotel to the Chinese.

Perhaps that will sustain him in his time of need.

[d_legendary1]

30. That was an expensive ass publicity stunt

NOT!!!!

[Dopers_Greed]

31. Oddly, I think all this negative press will actually further endear him to wingnuts

Since he's doubling down on his racist comments, which a lot of the Republican voter base agrees with, they probably see him as being oppressed by political correctness stifling his free speech.

That would explain his bounce in the Repug primary polls.

[red dog 1]

33. Trump is a chump with a bad rug

K&R

[nomorenomore08]

35. Getting snubbed by the world's richest man (at one time anyway).

For Trump, that's gotta sting like hell.

[47of74]

37. Facepalm

[Wounded Bear]

39. I don't...

Historically, I'm pretty sure almost all of the worst 10 presidents were businessmen.

[OnlyBernieBurnsBush]

40. Here we go again

Can't wait to see Sanders or Clinton steamroll this racist loser.

[Cha]

41. Macy's Dumps Trump! Isn't he too stupid to be Prez? LOL Mahalo EarlG!
