President Trump is now upping the ante on his attack tweets, finally taking to the @POTUS Twitter account to retweet himself attacking clothing chain Nordstrom for dropping daughter Ivanka Trump's clothing line.
Late Wednesday morning, Trump sent a tweet from his personal account slamming Nordstrom for treating Ivanka "unfairly."

I've written before about the political brilliance of President Donald Trump's public tussling with companies.
Principled conservatives may fret about the government getting too involved in corporate decisionmaking. But when the president gets on the phone and demands that CEOs produce their products in America, or stop charging taxpayers so much for fighter jets, he's sending a popular message that he's fighting for regular people.
However.
This shtick will become much less effective if he is seen using the bully pulpit of the presidency not to demand that companies give a fair shake to workers or taxpayers, but that they do favors for his family.
And so inevitably, Trump took to Twitter today to harangue Nordstrom about their decision to drop his daughter's fashion line:

My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom . She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
(Nordstrom, for its part, says they dropped Ivanka's line "based on the brand's performance." Sad!)
There are all sorts of areas for concern about conflict of interest and self-dealing between Trump's public duties and his family's business interests. But this is the first time during his presidency that Trump has actually scolded a company for failing to do business with his family.
You can expect to see this thrown back in Trump's face the next time he pulls his Corporate Avenger bit — exactly whose interests is he looking out for when he slaps around corporate America?

As President Donald Trump's actions continue to inspire protests across the country, his daughter Ivanka has become a popular target of activists encouraging people to boycott retailers selling her products.
A handful of companies including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Shoes.com have dropped Ivanka Trump's fashion line since the anti-Trump boycott movement #GrabYourWallet launched on social media in October.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump weighed in , saying Nordstrom's treatment of his daughter is "unfair."
Here's a list of the companies that have dropped Ivanka Trump's fashion line so far.
Nordstrom Jeff Schear/Getty Images Nordstrom that it stopped carrying Ivanka Trump's brand because of declining sales.
"Each year we cut about 10% [of brands carried] and refresh our assortment with about the same amount," a Nordstrom representative told Business Insider. "In this case, based on the brand's performance, we've decided not to buy it for this season."
Nordstrom became one of the main targets of the anti-Trump boycotts after a shopper's open letter to the retailer went viral in October. The letter called Ivanka Trump's brand "toxic" and demanded Nordstrom stop selling it.
Neiman Marcus Facebook/Neiman Marcus
Neiman Marcus appears to have cut ties with Ivanka Trump's fashion brand.
Fifteen products from Trump's jewelry line were available on the retailer's website as recently as the end of January.
Now, the products have disappeared.
Neiman Marcus did not respond to multiple requests for comment on why Trump's products were no longer available.
Shoes.com AP
Shoes.com, a Canadian online shoe store, ditched Ivanka Trump's shoe line in November.
The company said it was removing the Trump line in response to calls for a boycott against the brand.
"We understand and your voices have been heard," the company said in a tweet, which was later deleted. "We have removed the products from our website."
Shoes.com told Fast Company that the shoes weren't selling well .

President Donald Trump lashed out at Nordstrom on Wednesday for dropping his daughter Ivanka's fashion line.
"My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by Nordstrom," Trump tweeted. "She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!"
White House press secretary Sean Spicer backed up Trump's statement on Wednesday, saying Nordstrom's decision was a "direct attack on his policies and [Ivanka Trump's] name."
Nordstrom said last week that the brand's declining sales led to its decision.
"Each year we cut about 10% [of brands carried] and refresh our assortment with about the same amount," a Nordstrom representative told Business Insider . "In this case, based on the brand's performance we've decided not to buy it for this season."
The retailer dropped Ivanka's line amid calls for a boycott of retailers that carry Trump products.

In the days after Nordstrom's decision, other retailers including Neiman Marcus and Belk also stopped selling Ivanka's fashion line , which includes women's clothing, shoes, and accessories.
A representative from Ivanka's business said last week that sales are increasing despite the boycotts.
"The Ivanka Trump brand continues to expand across categories and distribution with increased customer support, leading us to experience significant year-over-year revenue growth in 2016," Rosemary Young, a senior director of marketing, told Business Insider in a statement on Friday.

According to Ivanka Trump's brand, sales are strong — even as retailers such as Nordstrom ditch the first daughter's fashion line, blaming poor sales.
In an interview with Refinery 29, the brand's president Abigail Klem said that since the beginning of February, the brand has had some of the "best performing weeks in the history of the brand."
Early February was a notable time for the brand. On February 2, Nordstrom announced plans to cut ties with the fashion line, citing poor sales — an excuse that was backed up by data reported by the Wall Street Journal ,which found that sales of Ivanka Trump merchandise fell 26% in January.
Retailers including Neiman Marcus and Belk also stopped selling Ivanka Trump's line in early February following months of anti-Trump boycotts .
Yet Klem, who took over as president of the brand when Ivanka stepped down from day-to-day operations after her father's election, claims that the brand was thriving during this very period.
"For several different retailers Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the [brand’s] best performance ever," she told Refinery 29.
British fashion search engine Lyst provided data to back up her claim, which show that the brand shot up from No. 550 to No. 11 from January to February on the company's list of brands selling the most individual items.

So, what gives? Are retailers ditching Ivanka Trump because the brand won't sell, or is the fashion line doing better than ever in the Trump Era?
The most likely answer is that both sides are telling the truth, to some degree. Just because the Ivanka Trump line has exploded in popularity on some retail or ecommerce sites, that doesn't mean that the same is true across the board.
Different retailers attract different customers.
For example, analytics firm Jumpshot found that traffic to Ivanka Trump brand pages on the Macy's website increased roughly 18% in December and January. Traffic to Ivanka Trump brand pages on Nordstrom's website, on the other hand, decreased 14% during the same period.
The news about retailers ditching Ivanka Trump's brand also gave the fashion line a lot of publicity in February. President Trump tweeted about Nordstrom's decision to drop the brand and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway encouraged Americans to go buy Ivanka's products on national television. Both events garnered a ton of press coverage.
All of this, combined with Trump supporters' promise to buy even more Ivanka after retailers dropped the line, likely led to a sales boost at least in the short term for some retailers.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nordstrom's sales of Ivanka Trump's line of clothing and shoes fell by nearly one-third in the past fiscal year, with sharp drops in sales weeks before her father Donald Trump was elected president, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
Nordstrom announced this week it had decided to stop carrying Ivanka Trump's apparel, prompting President Trump to take to Twitter to defend her. "My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom," he said on Wednesday.
The Journal cited internal Nordstrom data as showing sales of Ivanka Trump's products were more than 70 percent lower in the second, third and fourth week of October compared to the same weeks the previous year. The election was on Nov. 8.
Nordstrom had $14.3 million in sales in the fiscal year that ended in January, down from $20.9 million in the previous year, the Journal reported.
Nordstrom spokeswoman Tara Darrow said that the retailer did not provide the Wall Street Journal with data on Ivanka Trump's sales. "We have not and will not share specific sales results numbers related to this brand or any other brand," Darrow said in an email.

In addition to the president, others in the administration expressed support for Ivanka Trump's business. Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway was accused of violating ethics rules after she went on television to urge people to buy Ivanka Trump's products in what she called "a free commercial."
Republican Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight committee, said on Thursday he had asked the Office of Government Ethics to review Conway's comments and recommend disciplinary action against her if warranted.

As a movement to boycott businesses that do business with the Trump family heats up, Macy's is under pressure to dump Ivanka Trump's fashion brand.
With Nordstrom announcing on Thursday that it had decided to stop selling Ivanka Trump's brand, reportedly due to declining sales, customers have taken to Macy's social media pages to demand the retailer do the same.
"Nordstrom dumped Trump, please follow suit," reads one of many similar comments on Macy's Facebook page. "I would never put plastic Ivanka Trump boots on my little daughter."

One customer claimed she was told by a customer service representative that the company is in the process of dropping Ivanka's apparel and shoe lines. Macy's didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
The pressure seems to be coming from inside the company as well. According to an internal source at Macy's, some corporate employees are uncomfortable with their roles selling and marketing Ivanka Trump's brand following the election of Donald Trump.
"Hopefully they stop," an internal Macy's source told Business Insider, referencing the company's declining sales. "They can't lose any more money than they already are."
Currently, almost every Ivanka Trump branded item available on Macy's website is being sold at a discount. While many of the sales can be linked to store-wide deals, some discounts are more stark, such as a $150 pair of shoes being sold for $37.
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
The movement to boycott retailers that do business with the Trump family began in October, when Shannon Coulter, a brand and digital strategist, started the #GrabYourWallet hashtag . The Grab Your Wallet movement only gained momentum following Trump's election and inauguration.
Last Thursday, Nordstrom said it decided to stop carrying the Ivanka Trump brand due to declining sales. On Friday, Neiman Marcus removed all Ivanka Trump jewelry from its website.
"The Ivanka Trump brand continues to expand across categories and distribution with increased customer support, leading us to experience significant year-over-year revenue growth in 2016," Rosemary K. Young, Ivanka Trump's senior director of marketing, said in a statement on Friday. "We believe that the strength of a brand is measured not only by the profits it generates, but the integrity it maintains."
The retailer's history with the Trump family's retail business extends back before the election. Macy's stopped selling Trump's menswear line — which includes suits, ties, and accessories — last July after he referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists."
Despite this, the retailer has continued to sell Ivanka Trump's line. Currently, Macy's is on Grab Your Wallet's "Top 10" list of brands to boycott, and has been classified as one of the "most boycottable" brands by the movement.

Following the news that Nordstrom is dropping the Ivanka Trump line amidst poor sales due to an aggressive boycott , Neiman Marcus is next.
Jewelry from the Ivanka Trump line has disappeared from the luxury department store’s website. A sales associate at the Garden State Plaza location confirms the jewelry has been pulled from its store, though it is as yet unconfirmed that the jewelry is missing from all stores. The Neiman Marcus employee did not say when the Ivanka Trump jewelry was pulled.
Shannon Coulter, one of the women behind the #GrabYourWallet boycott, tipped Racked off to Nordstrom dropping the Ivanka Trump line yesterday and noticed the jewelry was missing from Neiman’s site earlier this morning.
According to Coulter, there were 21 products for sale earlier this week, including a $12,000 diamond bracelet; now there are none. Additionally, when you search for Ivanka Trump on the site, no results are served. The Ivanka Trump line is also missing from the list of designers on Neiman Marcus’s master list.

Founded in 2007, the Ivanka Trump brand started with jewelry, then spawned into clothing, shoes, accessories, and home goods (and eventually a "lifestyle brand," founded on the hashtag #WomenWhoWork). The apparel lines were mainstream and distributed widely from the outset, finding a strong customer base at the likes of Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Zappos, and Nordstrom. The line has largely been seen as a success ("this at a minimum is going to be a $100 million brand for us," the CEO of G-III, the company that manufactures and licenses Ivanka's brand, said in 2015 ), albeit with hiccups along the way — a trademark lawsuit over copying shoe designs and a scarf recall over "flammability" problems come to mind.

In the era of President Trump, Ivanka's brand is undergoing serious change.
Founded in 2007, the Ivanka Trump brand started with jewelry, then spawned into clothing, shoes, accessories, and home goods (and eventually a "lifestyle brand," founded on the hashtag #WomenWhoWork). The apparel lines were mainstream and distributed widely from the outset, finding a strong customer base at the likes of Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Zappos, and Nordstrom. The line has largely been seen as a success ("this at a minimum is going to be a $100 million brand for us," the CEO of G-III, the company that manufactures and licenses Ivanka's brand, said in 2015 ), albeit with hiccups along the way — a trademark lawsuit over copying shoe designs and a scarf recall over "flammability" problems come to mind.
But those controversies paled in comparison to those of her father's, once he joined the presidential race. Since Donald Trump's many offensive statements and positions — most notably, the vulgar, sexist comments caught on an "Access Hollywood" hot mic that came to light in October 2016 — Ivanka and her soothing, palatable brand have been the subject of scrutiny. Since October, much has unraveled: Anti-Trump shoppers started boycotting the line and the retailers who sell it under the banner #GrabYourWallet. Stores like Nordstrom started to back away from the brand. Other retailers followed. Pro-Ivanka shoppers responded with their own boycott. Donald Trump, now the president, tweeted about it all.
Through it all, it would appear sales of the Ivanka Trump brand are falling ... but it's still too early to assess the damage. You can bet critics and supporters will all be watching to see if their shopping habits are making an impact.
The Ivanka Trump brand of clothing, footwear, and accessories will no longer have an Ivanka Trump at its helm.
On Monday, the New York Times reported that Trump is stepping down from both her eponymous label and from her role as executive vice president of acquisitions and development at the Trump Organization. This comes the same day it was announced that her husband, Jared Kushner, will step down from his position as CEO of the Kushner Companies real estate firm and become a senior White House advisor to his father-in-law, Donald Trump.
A rep for Ivanka Trump’s brand did not immediately respond to request for comment.
According to the Times, Trump has “no plans to enter the administration,” but there’s no doubt that she’ll be a presence in it, as she was during the course of her father’s presidential campaign. Earlier this week, news outlets reported that Trump and Kushner are planning to relocate their family to Washington, DC.
The couple’s efforts to sever their respective business ties in advance of Donald Trump’s January 20th inauguration are clearly an attempt to free themselves of conflicts of interest, an issue that the President-elect has not yet resolved for himself . This is particularly relevant for Kushner, whose role in the White House may also violate federal nepotism guidelines.
What will the Ivanka Trump collection, which sells through retailers like Zappos and Nordstrom and has faced allegations of long hours and low wages , look like after the departure of its founder? To be honest, probably not that much different than before.

After poor sales and aggressive boycott, the department store is backing away.
Following an aggressive campaign to boycott all retailers carrying Trump family products, Nordstrom has decided to drop the Ivanka Trump label, the department store confirmed to Racked today.
Nordstrom, however, places the blame wholly on the brand’s performance, without mention of what might be making it perform so poorly. “We've said all along we make buying decisions based on performance,” a company spokesperson says. “We’ve got thousands of brands – more than 2,000 offered on the site alone. Reviewing their merit and making edits is part of the regular rhythm of our business. Each year we cut about 10% and refresh our assortment with about the same amount. In this case, based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season.”
The end of the partnership comes after months of the #GrabYourWallet campaign, which has been in full effect since October. Shannon Coulter and Sue Atencio, started the campaign after meeting on Twitter. Initially a Google spreadsheet of retailers that do business with the Trump family, from stores that carry Ivanka and President Donald Trump’ s line, to businesses owned by the Trumps themselves, the list has since been moved to its own website, GrabYourWallet.org .
Since the campaign started, thousands have taken to Twitter to voice their support of the boycott. Coulter says that last month, participants voted Nordstrom the most boycott-able company on the list; based off a poll that had 249 participants, Nordstrom was ranked number one. Coulter says that’s because it’s “the store they’d most like to be able to shop again.”
Nordstrom wouldn’t comment any further about the business decision, but it’s clear the boycott’s hurt the Ivanka Trump account at the 116-year-old Seattle-based retailer .
The exact details of the dissolution of the partnership are still unclear — Racked reached out to the Ivanka Trump label, but has yet to hear back. Nordstrom is using Twitter to tell customers who seem excited to be able to return to their post-Trump shopping habits that it didn’t “buy the brand for this season based on its sales performance” and that it couldn’t say if it would stock Ivanka Trump in the future because Nordstrom makes decisions like this “season to season.”
Coulter first tipped Racked off to the dramatic decline in Ivanka Trump products on the Nordstrom website early Thursday morning: From December 2nd to December 27th, the number dropped from 71 products to 48. As of January 11th, Nordstrom was selling 43 products, but by January 29th, it was down to 26, according to Coulter’s calculation. (The Macy’s site , on the other hand, has 90 items listed, all with deep discounts.) As of today, February 2nd, Nordstrom is down to four items and the Ivanka Trump label is also no longer listed on the list of brands Nordstrom carries. On the Ivanka Trump website, the items from outfits posted four days ago that link out to Nordstrom are no longer available on the site.
When the #GrabYourWallet campaign was first started, a move like this was exactly what Coulter was hoping for.
“What this boycott means to me is that companies that I love, like Nordstrom and Amazon, are making money from the Donald Trump campaign, which to me is synonymous with hate and divisiveness so I can’t, in good faith, shop there anymore,” Coulter told Racked back in November. “People aren’t boycotting them to punish them or ruin any businesses. They want to support these companies but can’t do so in good conscience.”
The Ivanka Trump line was included in the boycott, Coulter added, because “she made her father palatable to many young female voters, and her being on the campaign trail, and returning to campaign with him after the Trump tapes, has as much to do with her ambitions as it has to do with her father’s.” (Ivanka formally left her namesake label earlier last month , after her husband, Jared Kushner, took the position of senior White House adviser.)
The campaign’s boycott list is still pretty long; it includes many major department stores, including Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, and Lord & Taylor, as well as HSN, Century 21, Overstock.com , and DSW (each retailer is listed with an explanation as to why it’s being boycotted). Others have listened, though. In November, Shoes.com told Coulter via Twitter it was dropping the line.
On Twitter, it’s clear customers want to know if Nordstrom’s decision is politically motivated: Trump supporters likely won’t be happy with the seemingly boycott-motivated move, and #GrabYourWallet fans won't be thrilled with the blurry “it’s just business” answer.
One thing everyone can agree on? Nordstrom still has the best customer service .
Update: February 2nd, 2017, 10:00 p.m.
This article has been updated with official confirmation from Nordstrom that it is in fact dropping Ivanka Trump's line, after previous speculation fueled by observation that items were no longer on Nordstrom.com.

Read the full statement.
Yesterday Racked reported that Nordstrom would no longer be selling Ivanka Trump’s clothing line due to a dip in sales following the campaign to boycott retailers that carry Trump brands. Today, the Ivanka Trump brand has responded.
As per a spokesperson, “Nordstrom did order both shoes and apparel for spring, and moved forward with purchase of apparel.” Nordstrom canceled the shoe order and kept the apparel order, though decided to only sell the apparel in stores, not online.
It is likely the spring order was placed in late summer or early fall, before the November election and also the #GrabYourWallet boycott, which began in mid-October.
Racked has reached out to both Nordstrom and Ivanka Trump to confirm the spring order is what customers are currently seeing in stores. Nordstrom previously told Racked, “Based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season.”
Nordstrom replied to boycott organizer Shannon Coulter’s inquiry about the remaining items on Twitter , explaining that it is selling through its current inventory in brick-and-mortar locations.
Nordstrom expanded on this to Racked. “We’ve offered the brand in different categories and divisions (Shoes, Apparel, Accessories, full price and off price, online and in-store),” wrote a spokesperson via email. “Because of variations of when previous buys were made, when they’re delivered, and how fast they sell through, we’ll continue to have it available for a while.”
Fall orders for Ivanka Trump are being taken now; it appears as though Nordstrom will not be placing any with the brand.
As far as customer response is concerned, according to Coulter, “The general consensus from #GrabYourWallet participants is that they're not going back until sell through is complete.”
“Some people are irritated that Nordstrom wasn't fully transparent in their initial statement,” she continues, “but most probably are not so irritated that most won't eventually return as customers.”
Ivanka Trump also issued the following statement regarding Nordstrom:
The Ivanka Trump brand continues to expand across categories and distribution with increased customer support, leading us to experience significant year-over-year revenue growth in 2016. We believe that the strength of a brand is measured not only by the profits it generates, but the integrity it maintains. The women behind the brand represent a diverse group of professionals and we are proud to say that the Ivanka Trump brand continues to embody the principles upon which it was founded. It is a company built to inspire women with solution-oriented offerings, created to celebrate and service the many aspects of their lives.
Meanwhile, the Ivanka Trump brand did not comment on reports that Neiman Marcus is no longer selling Ivanka Trump jewelry .

Nordstrom has decided to stop carrying Ivanka Trump's brand, the retailer told Business Insider on Thursday.
The company said the brand's declining sales led to its decision.
"Each year we cut about 10% [of brands carried] and refresh our assortment with about the same amount," a Nordstrom representative told Business Insider. "In this case, based on the brand's performance we've decided not to buy it for this season."
Nordstrom's decision comes amid calls for a boycott against retailers that carry Trump products.
Trump's brand, which sells women's clothing, shoes, and handbags, was available on Nordstrom's website as recently as Wednesday. On Thursday, Trump was not listed on Nordstrom's master list of brands available, as Business Insider previously reported .
Trump's brand did not respond to a request for comment.
Availability of Trump's products had been declining on Nordstrom's website for weeks.
Shannon Coulter, who launched the boycott opposing Trump last fall , has been tracking the brand's inventory levels on Nordstrom's website for the past couple of months.
As recently as the first week of December, 71 different Ivanka Trump products were available on Nordstrom's website, according to Coulter.
Last week, that number dropped to 26. On Wednesday, nine products were available.
Critics of Trump's father, President Donald Trump, have called for boycotts against dozens of retailers for carrying Trump-branded products.
But Nordstrom became one of the main targets of the boycotts after a shopper's open letter to the retailer went viral in October. The letter called Ivanka Trump's brand "toxic" and demanded that Nordstrom stop selling it.
Nordstrom responded to the letter in November with a Twitter message that said it wasn't taking a political position by selling Trump's products.
"We hope that offering a vendor's products isn't misunderstood as us taking a political position; we're not," the company said at the time. "We recognize our customers can make choices about what they purchase based on personal views and we'll continue to give them options."

A council worker from Brighton, whom Donald Trump mistook on Twitter for his own daughter, has urged the president-elect to face up to his responsibilities and learn more about climate change.
Trump quoted a praiseworthy tweet directed to him by Lawrence Goodstein, a Twitter user in Seekonk, Massachusetts, that described his daughter Ivanka as “a woman with real character and class” late on Monday.

Ivanka Trump may soon become one of the most influential first daughters in history.
She advised her father throughout the campaign, designed an equal-pay and childcare policy, took post-election phone calls with international leaders, and served on the transition team’s Executive Committee.
But, while she will undoubtedly be impactful in the Trump administration, Ivanka is only one of the many first daughters who have influenced politics.
Julie Nixon National Archives/Getty During the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon's youngest daughter, Julie, went on a cross-country tour defending her father against corruption allegations.
According to the Associated Press , Julie gave over one hundred interviews in an attempt to clear her father's name and win back the favor of his supporters.
She even told reporters that President Nixon had considered resigning, but his family talked him out of it. Nixon, of course, ultimately did resign. Julie later wrote several books in hopes of restoring her family name.

Gerald Ford’s only daughter, Susan, didn’t influence politics so much as American culture during her stay in the White House.
According to People Magazine , Susan was well known for bursting into the Oval to ask for her allowance and hosting her High School prom in the East Room. But more importantly, she had a heavy impact on breast cancer awareness.
Susan’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer just weeks after Ford’s inauguration. Susan served as the official White House hostess while her mother recovered from a mastectomy and later joined ranks with her mother to create social campaigns discussing the signs and symptoms of the cancer.
According to Time Magazine , the Ford women’s hard work and political platforms significantly helped the formation of the first annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Susan continues to work as a Breast Cancer Awareness activist today.

Theodore Roosevelt, asked about his rebellious socialite daughter, famously stated once, "I can be president of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both."
Yet despite her difficulties, Roosevelt's beloved first daughter played a pivotal role in American foreign policy.
According to The New York Times and biographer James Bradley, the President sent Alice on a four-month tour of Asia along with several other diplomats and politicians that laid the groundwork for diplomacy, led to the end the Russo-Japanese war, and ultimately won Roosevelt a Nobel Peace Prize.

And from the Trump Organization.
The Ivanka Trump brand of clothing, footwear, and accessories will no longer have an Ivanka Trump at its helm.
On Monday, the New York Times reported that Trump is stepping down from both her eponymous label and from her role as executive vice president of acquisitions and development at the Trump Organization. This comes the same day it was announced that her husband, Jared Kushner, will step down from his position as CEO of the Kushner Companies real estate firm and become a senior White House advisor to his father-in-law, Donald Trump.
A rep for Ivanka Trump’s brand did not immediately respond to request for comment.
According to the Times, Trump has “no plans to enter the administration,” but there’s no doubt that she’ll be a presence in it, as she was during the course of her father’s presidential campaign. Earlier this week, news outlets reported that Trump and Kushner are planning to relocate their family to Washington, DC.
The couple’s efforts to sever their respective business ties in advance of Donald Trump’s January 20th inauguration are clearly an attempt to free themselves of conflicts of interest, an issue that the President-elect has not yet resolved for himself . This is particularly relevant for Kushner, whose role in the White House may also violate federal nepotism guidelines.
What will the Ivanka Trump collection, which sells through retailers like Zappos and Nordstrom and has faced allegations of long hours and low wages , look like after the departure of its founder? To be honest, probably not that much different than before.
