Donald Trump is currently feeling the heat from angry protesters who have had it with his senseless antics. In a petition spearheaded by Long Island native Angelo Carusone (which can be found at SignOn.org), he and supporters urge retail giant Macy’s to “sever ties” with Trump, citing his inability to embody the “magic of Macy’s”.
Addressed to CEO Terry J. Lundgren, the document goes on to reference the company’s “strong obligation to be ‘socially responsible’,” and believes “it’s time to act”. What brought about the sudden call to action, you ask? Macy’s Lundgren recently sent Donald Trump a letter expressing excitement in helping the mogul further expand his brand. Needless to say, the protesters were less than pleased.
They couldn’t seem to grasp this move when Trump has continuously displayed “unpleasant, nasty and despicable behavior.” After countless sexist remarks, some geared at his own daughter, hypocritically complaining about jobs being sent to China, yet producing his own products in China and neighboring Asian countries, and making racially charged allegations towards President Obama, they believe enough is enough.
Moralities and business are like oil and water; they don’t always mix. But where do you draw the line? When does a client’s behavior become so deplorable that you have no choice but to drop and disassociate yourself with them?
What do you think? Should Macy’s heed the protesters concerns, or should business be business?

November 14, 2012 10:59 am
Yes I have already signed that petition
November 14, 2012 11:07 am
Donald Trump needs to get his angry asss outta here! I’m signing that petition. Hopefully it works. I’ve had enough of that fool. I just wish the media would stop giving him attention. And press would stop asking our president about him byes not important.
November 14, 2012 11:11 am
Donald trump is one of those people that shouldn’t be allowed on social media. He’s just going to dig himself into a hole. He’s a fool. I just wish the media would stop giving him life on his stupid allegations about our president.
November 14, 2012 11:26 am
Lawd ah Mercy, I read this fool’s twitter and you wouldn’t believe some of the things he post, I went as far as to think someone had hacked his account, but sadly that wasn’t the case, that crazy was all his. He needs to go.
November 14, 2012 11:27 am
Get him out of here, him and that hair piece!
November 14, 2012 11:38 am
Just like his hair, he’s beyond help.
November 14, 2012 11:49 am
Yeah I think Donald Trump might be loosing it.
November 14, 2012 12:21 pm
I don’t care how crazy he is, him being in a Macy’s commercial is the least of my worries. People put passion into the most insignificant things.
November 14, 2012 12:31 pm
His actions and words have been so disgusting as of late, there needs to be some sort of justice. His comments about our President were inexcusable. Dump him NOW!
November 14, 2012 12:33 pm
Get rid of his now. Disgusting man.
November 14, 2012 12:45 pm
In a perfect world, it would be simple to sever ties with him due to his repeated unacceptable behavior, however, we all know, money is money, and he and Macy’s will remain completely intact, unfortuantely.
November 14, 2012 12:53 pm
Absolutely agree. How do I get involved in the protest???
November 14, 2012 1:16 pm
I signed it, but honestly, there’s a better way:
DON’T GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY.
It’s that simple. Don’t buy this products, don’t stay at his hotels.
People constantly complain about someone, yet they continue to support them by buying their products. What sense does that make?
November 14, 2012 1:20 pm
The petition is a good start but I agree with Frost. Boycott his products! #DumpTrump needs to start trending on twitter!
November 14, 2012 1:43 pm
Frost made perfect sense! Regardless of the petition, people should stop supporting him by buying his products. I never bought his products but now, I sure as hell never will. His actions are deplorable! Business may be business but remember he’s business only survives because of us – the consumers. If you’re have absolutely no respect for us as Americans, why should we support you?! A better petition would be to tell people not to buy his product. Trust me, with the holiday shopping season coming up, that would teach him a big lesson.
November 14, 2012 1:44 pm
Actions and words have a consequences so yeah Mr. Trump needs to go.
November 14, 2012 1:47 pm
Trump is too big of a business mogul. They won’t drop him unfortunately. Behind his media persona he’s someone you don’t want to mess with.
November 14, 2012 2:30 pm
i signed it and will continue to do anything to hit him where it hurts– them pockets.
November 14, 2012 3:08 pm
Signed the petition
November 14, 2012 5:01 pm
Don’t support him. Don’t support Macy’s. Simple as that.
November 14, 2012 11:32 pm
@Jei thats hard because I love me some Macy’s lol, but yea trump needs to do exactly what Solange told him \_ \_ \_
November 15, 2012 12:37 am
I signed it!
November 15, 2012 1:38 am
I say boycott Macy’s and anything with Trump’s name involved.
November 15, 2012 3:07 am
Thanks Fashion Bomb, I signed it.
November 15, 2012 5:13 am
I disagree with Donald Trump, but he’s entitled to his own opinions, however stupid and ignorant they may be….
November 15, 2012 8:47 am
I signed, and I urge everyone else that has signed to NOT support the Miss America pageant or anything else with his name and brand associated to it!
November 15, 2012 9:14 am
Yup I signed it. Definitely agree
November 15, 2012 10:10 am
Well, if we can dump someone for drug use or alchoholism because they don’t embody the spirit of a brand… I think he qualifies for omission. LOL.
November 17, 2012 10:55 pm
I just signed it and sent it to my family.
November 25, 2012 12:17 pm
I signed the petition. I’m no longer shopping at Macy’s. The Trump hotel here in Chicago was a possible location for my company holiday party & the sales team was courting us hard. I sent them an email saying we are going with another property. I will never step foot inside that hotel or any other Trump property. I know that I’m only one person but I have to take a stand.
