Democrats have condemned President Donald Trump's tweet attacking a clothing retailer after it dropped a fashion line owned by his daughter.


Mr Trump tweeted that "Ivanka has been treated so unfairly" by clothing retailer Nordstrom.


A Democratic senator called the post "inappropriate" and an ex-White House ethics tsar dubbed it "outrageous".


Earlier this month Nordstrom became the fifth retailer to drop the Ivanka Trump clothing line, citing lack of sales.


The move comes amid a boycott of all Trump products, which activists have dubbed #GrabYourWallet, in reference to a 2005 comment Mr Trump made about women's bodies.


A spokesman for Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey said the senator "feels it is unethical and inappropriate for the president to lash out at a private company for refusing to enrich his family".


Norm Eisen, who served as ethics tsar under President Barack Obama, called the move "outrageous" and advised Nordstrom to sue Mr Trump under the California Unfair Competition Law.


The White House has played down the row.


Press spokesman Sean Spicer said that Nordstrom's decision was political, and the president was simply reacting to "an attack" on his daughter.


"This is a direct attack on his policies and her name and so there's clearly an attempt for [the president] to stand up for her being maligned because they have a problem with his policies," Mr Spicer said during the daily press briefing.


Nordstrom has yet to respond to the recent tweet, but have said previously that the decision to drop the Ivanka Trump line was "based on the brand's performance".


The tweet, which was sent by Mr Trump's @realDonaldTrump account was then retweeted by the official @POTUS account.


Shares in the retailer fell 0.7%, before rallying slightly by midday.


Earlier this week, First Lady Melania Trump came under fire after she re-filed a lawsuit against the Daily Mail over false allegations that she once worked as an escort.


Her lawyers accused the news website of trying to deny her a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to profit from her position as "one of the most photographed women in the world".


Critics accused the First Lady of improperly seeking to profit financially from her White House position.


Mrs Trump is seeking damages of $150m (£120m).

So I'll add a bit more to that before you go full on retard.

 

A targeted raid on specific identifiable terrorists in a country which has given permission for such attacks ex ante is a completely different ball game to flying in and dropping bombs on an entire country with the hope of installing a whole new leadership eg Iraq, Afghanistan. Having said that, if he continues to attempt these raids at a large enough frequency without getting beneficial results I may take my support for this point back. You see when the facts change my opinions change too - I don't know how entrenched self pity individuals like you work.

I thought the CIA were actually fighting alongside ISIS in Yemen? I'd say the US has a massive amount of nerve to talk about 'terrorists' when they are the home of the biggest of the lot.

Watch sales go through the roof now.

 

Yep, much in the same way as shares in Nordstrom went down after his initial tweet. He knows exactly what strings to pull for all those puppets who support him. He'll go down as the worst President in American history but he'll make shit loads of money doing so, during and after his term in office.

Assuming this is real it could be the greatest exchange between a senator and president in the history of everything. Following Trump's threat to end his career he's responded with the following tweet.

 

 

 

Hey @realDonaldTrump I oppose civil asset forfeiture too! Why don't you try to destroy my career you fascist, loofa-faced, shit-gibbon!

His tweet about Ivanka and Nordstrom came during his intelligence briefing according to CNN using the white house schedule.

The intelligence briefing was scheduled at 10.30am and the tweet was about 10.50am. That fits in with the story about him wanting single page briefing sheets with no more than nine bullet points.

In summary:

 

The things I support about Trump

 

1. He has expressed a desire to stop interfering in the middle east unnecessarily

 

2. He has labeled Islamic terrorism as Islamic terrorism

 

3. He isn't politically correct

 

4. He wants to stop his country wasting their lives addicted to drugs

 

The things I don't support:

 

1. His 7 country ban was poorly executed and could have been implemented with fewer problems if it was thought through more

 

2. He doesn't seem to be in favour of stopping climate change

 

3. He seems very pro-gun ownership

 

4. Some of his tweets are repetitive and irritating

 

That's how I see things at the moment.

 

You're a Hindu nationalist tit that supports Modi and the demonisation of Muslims, aren't you?

No, he said they should have taken the oil. Like literally steal the resources of a sovereign nation and horde it all to themselves.

 

He justified this by saying 'to the victor goes the spoils.'

 

Please continue to contort yourself by justifying the words and actions of a raving madman though.

The most unfortunate thing about the tweet is that the president of shouldn't require his daughter to push him to do the right
