Spicer told reporters during his daily press briefing that the decision -- which Nordstrom said was a result of poor sales, not politics -- was because of the clothing company's displeasure with President Donald Trump's executive orders and his policies.
"I think this is less about his family's business and an attack on his daughter," Spicer said. "He ran for president. He won. He's leading this country. I think for people to take out their concern about his actions or his executive orders on members of his family, he has every right to stand up for his family and applaud their business activities, their success."
Spicer: Nordstrom Dropping Ivanka Trump's Line Is 'Direct Attack' On Prez
“It is a total misuse of presidential power,” said Lawrence M. Noble, the general counsel of the Campaign Legal Center and formerly the top lawyer at the Federal Election Commission. “He is really bringing to bear the whole weight of the office of president on a business decision. Take another company that is considering whether or not to drop her line — they obviously are going to ask themselves if they want to be attacked by the president.”

I read about this earlier, but your OP reminded me...
I just emailed Nordstrom to tell them that I will NEVER shop at their store or online again.
Which is a shame, because they recently opened a store near me.
I told them that I will not shop there because of their animosity toward Ivanka Trump and her father, and because they have politicized their business.
If they are going to choose sides in politics, and it is not the side many agree with, then they are going to lose customers.

Stock goes up 4%. Looks like wall street thinks that dropping the brand was good for the company. End of debate.

Didnt stocks also go up when Trump was elected? If Im not mistaken didnt they climb to record numbers?
Does that also mean Wall Street and its backers think Trump is good for America?
