There are times when operational entities “react” to events, and then, in hindsight, live to regret their decision. The decision by Macy’s Department Store to discontinue their relationship with Donald Trump brand merchandise is easily one of these examples.
Have you ever been into a Macy’s? Have you ever looked at the location of ‘viable’ Macy’s locations? Ever perused their store or their merchandise? What you’ll notice is the vast majority of Macy’s customers are socio-economically aligned with Donald Trump’s populist, albeit perhaps unartfully stated, beliefs.
“We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form,” the retailer wrote in a statement. “We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. We do not believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation. In light of statements made by Donald Trump, which are inconsistent with Macy’s values, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship with Mr. Trump and will phase-out the Trump menswear collection, which has been sold at Macy’s since 2004.” (read more)
In response to Macy’s culturally Marxist position – The unapologetic capitalist, Donald Trump, has requested a boycott of Macy’s stores.
For all of those who want to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, boycott @Macys. They are weak on border security & stopping illegal immigration.

Regardless of what your opinion is of Donald Trump, this is perhaps a resounding moment to see what side is in the majority. Macy’s has just made themselves the fulcrum.
I have a strong hunch that Macy’s will regret their decision.
The cultural leftists always believe they are in the majority – and they do a good job convincing themselves, and everyone else, that their view of their reality is empirical. It is not.
