Why is this important?
Actions speak louder than words.
Angelo Carusone's petition for Macy's to "dump Donald Trump" had more than 620,000 signatures by Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 02:02:02 PM EST and will be delivered to Macy's CEO Lundgren when it hits 625,000. However, Macy's continues to support Donald Trump. Macy's insists that Trump's political leanings are not a reflection of the company's. I and apparently over 600K people would disagree.
For a moment let's consider why would they hire a "celebrity" for endorsements or special product line. Simple, celebrities sell stuff and consumers will pay attention to celebrities because they are attracted to them and they like and identify with what they say. With this simple truth, Macy's is in fact "hiring" Trumps "celebrity" status, including his political beliefs, sexist behavior, hypocrisy, bigotry and over all despicableness. I would further support this by stating why do companies sometimes drop it's celebrity spokespeople? For example: Gatorade drop it's "Tiger Focus" brand, rapidly followed by other sponsors like AT&T and Accenture over a private sex scandal? Why did Nike drop Armstrong as spokesman? State Farm Drops Penn State? Yes the list goes on and on and on.
I'm not saying Mr. Trump has a right to his opinion (however obnoxious I think he is), he sure does, so do I, actually, so do we all. That's what's great about America, our 1st Amendment ensuring Freedom of Speech is wonderful, powerful and a great responsibility. What has to be acknowledge is the repercussions for his opinions. Clearly Trump fails to understand this as does the Macy's CEO.
So I propose this: What if Macy's was a store and in order to send a message to Macy's in a language (like MONEY & PROFIT) that they can truly understand regarding Mr. Trump's spokesman-ship, suddenly no one shopped there?
Yes, MONEY talks and actions truly do speak louder than words.
