Do Trumps connections to the business world overlap in his presidency? The answer is a resounding hell yes it does. Trump delegated his businesses to his children in a semi-blind trust manor. But when he gives his family members access to government positions, how blind can he be to his ex-businesses?
Nordstrom replied by saying that this was not a political statement and that Ivankas line was just not performing as well, and was being discontinued at their stores. Trump turned this into a political statement and now Trump supporters are boycotting Nordstrom. But something tells me if Ivankas line wasn't performing well in Nordstrom already, they won't be losing much clientele.
As for other stores, they have been too scared to remove Ivanka's line, but have reduced marketing for it, by reducing signs and other forms of attention for it.
If the Trump brand itself has become too politicized, then there is 100% a conflict of interest. None of this is about how Ivanka is being treated "unfairly" as president Trump has claimed.
