Abstract: Is Nordstrom getting political? On February 2, 2017, Nordstrom stores across America stated that they would no longer be selling Ivanka Trump’s line of clothing. Nordstrom is putting a brake on their relationship with Ivanka Trump because, “based on the brand’s performance, we’ve decided not to buy it for this season,” (Abrams). The store says that their motives aren’t a result from political opinions, however, their actions reflect movements like the #GrabYourWallet campaign, which encourages consumers not to buy items linked to our current president. In an attempt to seem unaffected by politics, the company tweeted that, “We hope that offering a vendor’s products isn’t misunderstood as us taking a political position. We’re not.”
