UPDATE: Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus both drop Ivanka Trump’s fashion line
ABC News reports that department store chain Nordstrom has dropped Ivanka Trump’s signature clothing line from its online catalog and stores. A representative for the company stated that the removal of Ivanka Trump-brand clothing and jewelry from its shelves was part of a normal process of pruning poorly performing merchandise from its inventory, and had nothing to do with politics. (That being said we can only imagine “it didn’t sell” being even more galling for her father, President Donald Trump, than any political motivation.) The company has faced criticism in the past for carrying Trump’s line of products, issuing a statement last November hoping that “offering a vendor’s products isn’t misunderstood as us taking a political position.”
