16. He does not know shit...I think you are giving him way too much credit.

He is not supposed to promote a private company PERIOD. Especially because "they" gave $$ to him campaign (super pac). He is playing himself.

Now with that being said when I often participate in a "boycott" I don't actually boycott. I know the deal with LL Bean but that didn't stop me from pretending that I'm all pearl clutchy. So yes I did give them a call and if all the calls prompted them to release a statement to clarify the situation than well done.

As far as him tweeting or saying something I agree with (like supporting Plan Parenthood) well I'm waiting. If he can come up with something ...anything that I can support than I'll do that. I'm still going to think he's an asshole but I like to think I'm objective. If he does some "good" I'll give him credit...but so far NOTHING.

Trump is a threat to humanity. If a board member of a national chain is shilling for him, Squinch Jan 2017 #47

Not because of one member; because they stood up for her. Crash2Parties Jan 2017 #6

L.L. Bean is one of her companies, and the only one that's received my dollars. Iggo Jan 2017 #29

No it's not her company. She is only on their BOD. Other BOD members support Dems Fla Dem Jan 2017 #32

She's not one of the owners? Iggo Jan 2017 #34

Yes she is. The bio I read on her only mentioned her BOD position. But so are other family members Fla Dem Jan 2017 #35
