I own Nordstrom stock and was happy to see him Tweet as the price rose about 6% yesterday. Keep up the Tweets and I'll get rich!!!! Humor aside, a lot of us think that this is juvenile behavior of the worst kind, something a 12 year old would do but not the President of the US.
While
not strictly illegal, such a tweet is not unexpected from someone who deliberately didn't disclose his tax records, and didn't really distance himself from his own commercial activities other than letting his family run the business. What's even more troubling is that he tweeted those remarks while 'involved' in a security meeting.
And of course, the private tweet (retweeted on the official account and made worse by Sean Spicer) was another lie, because according to a Nordstrom spokesperson the decision to stop selling the fashion line, due to a disappointing sales trend, was communicated to his daughter in early January already. So no personal attack on his daughter, but disappointing sales, and probably a good business decision.
When a person like that is given the free reigns, it will only get worse...
Cheers,
Bart
