Chelsea Handler responds to President Trumps speech regarding
Nordstrom and his daughter Ivanka Trump's line
Let's read the Tweet once again, I'm sure you've already seen it
It reads "My Daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairy
..by Nordstrom. She is a great person, always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
Then, of course, this motivated people to either
tweet out #BanNordstron or people to support Nordstrom
So this inspired Chelsea Handlers she took... she responded on Instagram
Let's take a look at her Instagram post
So there she is, in front of the White House and she says, her caption is,
"A Jew and a Gay went to pick a Muslim up from the airport,
headed straight to Nordstrom, and then headed over to The White House
to give our thanks! @POTUS!"
So there she is with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 that's like a lot of Nordstrom bags girl!
Alright we'll talk about it, OH I should also read,
I know that a week ago Nordstrom, you know, they put out a release
saying that the reason was just that her line was not producing the
that is had prior (Brett)-two days ago (Sam)- Yeah, well no and then
this one's recent, so this is their second press release
So here the second press release is this "To reiterate what we've already shared when asked
we made this decision based on performance.
Over the past year, and particularly in the last half of 2016,
sales of the brand have steadily declined to te point where it
didn't make good business sense for us to continue with the line for now.
We've has a great relationship with the Ivanka Trump team.
We've has open conversations with them over the past year to share what we've seen
and Ivanka was personally informed of our decision in early January.
Thoughts five words or less,
Chelsea Handled Trump
Staying Nord-Strong

So okay, now.... when I saw this this morning when I was perusing Istagram
and I started to read the comments and while a lot of people, especially her followers
loved it, they thought it was really funny and apropos some of them thought that she was being rude
(Brett)- Listen ... Trump doesn't understand the language that Nordstrom used
to communicate the shortcomings of the sales of the Ivanka Line
because it's written like grown-ups write stuff
So to translate for Trump what Nordstrom meant so that Trump will understand it
(In Trumps Voice)- "Nobody's buying this, very low energy, terrible, sad, cancel the line
(All agree)- Yeah, Yeah.
(Grace)- that's probably very helpful for him, I hope he see's that because I think that's what it is
(Hannah)- That's the thing about all this, he's claiming to be this amazing business person
and it's like, if they can show you, that the lines not doing well, if your like the Business King
you should know that. (Sam)- That's true
That's what's frustrating about it, It comes off very entitled and elitist
to just expect that the line will continue to be within a store when it's not producing sales
and that's what frustrates me, we have a business, my husband and I
and we've been dropped by major stores, we've been in major store and we've been dropped by major stores
unfortunately, if you're not producing sales or if you're not abiding to the terms
if you're not shipping on time, whatever it may be, maybe you don't have enough skews
they're gonna cut you, and Nordstrom even said that in their first press release
even at the end of the day if you're numbers are as strong, or almost as strong
as the previous quarter but they want to make room for new stuff and there's other lines that are doing very well
you're still at risk to get cut, so I would have liked, to piggy back on your point,
if she would have looked at the numbers, he could have easily gone to her quick books
or called her accountant said "hey, what was this quarter versus last quarter versus the year before
and then he wouldn't have had to immediately gone to twitter and blasted a company for no reason
(Hannah)- We'll that's the thing, even if the company, even if Ivanka's line was doing fine
and they wanted to do so for political reasons, like, they're a private company
they can decide to do that, do you know what I mean?
(Brett)- Public company, they are publicly owned
(Hannah)- So whatever, so they're publicly owned but they can still decide to do that (Brett)- I think
(Hannah)- Do you know what I mean? (Sam)- Nordstrom, Hautelook, I do think they are publicly owned
(Hannah and Brett)- They can still decide to do that
(Hannah)- so you can't, you don't get to just degrade a company online because you're upset
that they weren't giving your daughter special treatment
and then Kellyanne Conway goes on fox and says "Everybody buy Ivanka's line"
Just so you know, there's a ban on federal employees doing product endorsements so that's not okay either.
(Brett)- Right and even your first point was hypothetical you don't even need to fo there
and it's your fault Donald, the reason people aren't buying her products is because of you
so if she should be mad at anyone, she should be mad at you,
because it seems like A: people didn't want it but B: the consumer can be politically motivated
and you've got a Seattle-based company, that operates in malls in major urban area's that skew more liberal
so people are going to take their checkbooks and do whatever they want with it
and they thing they want to do is not buy the crap your daughter sells because they hate you.
(Hannah)- Nordstrom sales have gone up five percent since he tweeted that so apparently consumers feel the same way. (Sam)- WOW! Grace-
(Grace)-And also, Nordstrom was very professional when they released their statement
now we can all speculate on the reasons that people are not buying Ivanka Trump's line anymore
but Nordstrom never said that, they just said "from this timeline, the sales declined"
and Trump then, took that personally and that, sir, is projecting, that sort of
"Like I, this really hurt my feelings" (Sam)- Trump? Projecting? (Grace)- *Sarcastic* I know!
(Hannah)- Also, Trump taking something personal
(Grace)- It's very interesting, I think it would be a very different story if Nordstrom had came out and said
"We do not stand by the Trump family for 'X' political reasons" bu they didn't say that
it was a business decision and then the business man the guy who was elected on his, ya know
apparently on his like, business experience and how people loved that,
wasn't able to understand a company making the best decisions for their company
it's incredibly strange but also not outlandish given the world that we live in.
(Sam)- And he retweeted it from the POTUS account
(Brett)- yeah, and it's the same thing that he is doing with SNL it's like,
don't do that... (Sam)- We are gonna get into SNL that's good
(Grace)- you can't use the office of the presidency for your own personal agenda
(Brett)- But you can (Grace)- Well now you can (Brett)- He used POTUS to retweet Donald Trump
(Grace)- wait @ REAL Donald Trump (Brett) so he's using his business thing to tweet his personal accounts
(Brett)- It's like masturbation, you're retweeting yourself over and over again
(Brett)- It's so gross (Sam)- It's so weird- Okay, so please share your thoughts
in the comment section below and we'll see you next time
