Tweet from the so-called “president”: My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person – always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible! ---

If he wanted to act like someone who’s using his position + Twitter to manipulate stock prices…it would look just like this. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > He wishes he were a blue blood - I think that is part of his problem - he gets no respect from the actual blue bloods, as he is a classic social striver. Background story, from NYC, my home town. It goes further than that. They see him as a pompous windbag and a fraud. They KNOW where he got his money from (daddy) and they know what a great biznizman he really is (daddy bailed him out repeatedly). They know what his word is worth - nothing (he stiffs his workers, he saddles targeted companies with his personal debt and leaves everyone else holding the bag). He is the king of bankruptcies, etc etc etc. They know he is a shameless liar and cheat and thief. So it goes far beyond simple snobbery. It is outright contempt, and deservedly so. Most of New York hates him. ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > If he wanted to act like someone who’s using his position + Twitter to manipulate stock prices…it would look just like this. Yep. This is the tweet that crosses a line for me. The rest of this stuff has been evidence of his immaturity, insecurity, and poor impulse control. This one is him using the fact that he is president to punish a company for making a business decision that harms his family’s business interests. The other tweets that I can recall were merely unseemly and childish, although some did have adverse impacts on some companies. That was the sole purpose of this one. Disgraceful! ---

[Trump took time off in the middle of his daily intelligence briefing to take to Twitter to attack Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka’s line of clothing.](http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/trump-nordstrom-tweet-ivanka-234791?cmpid=sf) Obama’s ethics czar has suggested that Nordstrom take Trump to court for violating anti-fair trade laws. And Senator Bob Casey has referred the matter to the Government Ethics Office. ---

> [@davidm](#): > > I think it’s supposed to be Nordstrom that’s terrible but yeah, it does read like it’s Ivanka. Never mind the fact that our President has to be “pushed” to do the right thing. I mean seriously, if Ivanka is the only thing keeping him from going full on Pol Pot, I only hope she does not find an untimely demise and that she always has the President’s ear. ---

What’s funny to me is that Trump is supposed to be a great businessman, but thinks that a company should continue to carry a product that is not selling well, because - why? It’s the president’s daughter? ---
