Macy's Cuts Ties With Trump Over Racist Remarks

Source: Huffington Post

Macy's is done with Donald Trump.

The department store said Wednesday it has cut ties with the billionaire Republican presidential hopeful, who said last month that Mexican immigrants are "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists."

Macy's said it will phase out a Trump menswear collection that has been sold at the retailer since 2004.

"We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico," the Cincinnati-based company said in a statement. "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."

The move comes after more than 728,000 people singed a MoveOn.org petition urging Macy's to dump Trump.

The retailer is the latest to cut ties with Trump over his comments.

It's hard to take your business elsewhere, because they own so many anchor stores.

I need some dress shirts. I'll send the receipt and a thank you to them.

What's even more amazing is why they even carried this unimaginative crap in the first place. It made Garanimals look edgy and trend setting.

"Trump Douche" might actually be marketable these days.
