President Trump on Wednesday took to Twitter to blast Nordstrom for its decision to stop selling his daughter Ivanka’s luxury fashion line.
“My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!” the leader of the free world tweeted — on both his personal and official POTUS accounts — about 10:45 a.m.
The high-end retailer said last week that the brand’s declining sales led to its call to drop Ivanka’s products.
“Each year we cut about 10 percent [of brands carried] and refresh our assortment with about the same amount,” a Nordstrom rep told Business Insider.
“In this case, based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season.”
The retailer dropped Ivanka’s fashions following calls for a boycott against retailers that sell Trump products.
Response on Twitter was quick and in some cases harsh.
“You’re mentally ill. Please see a medical professional,” tweeted City Councilman Corey Johnson (D-Manhattan).
Howard Wolfson, a former aide to former Mayor Mike Bloomberg, also weighed in.
“I just bought a gift card in response to president’s attack,” he tweeted, referring to Nordstrom.
The boycott was organized by a group called Grab Your Wallet, a mocking reference to Trump’s infamous line that he could grab women “by the p—y.”
