The "Dump Trump" petition has received nearly 500,000 signatures online which is urging Macy's to end their deal with Real Estate mogul Donald Trump and remove his perfume from their shelves.
Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to respond to the 'Dump Trump' petition.
"My fragrance--"Success"-- is flying off the shelves @macys. The perfect Christmas gift!" - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
The petition goes on to say that "Donald Trump engages in especially unpleasant, nasty and despicable behavior. He has:"
- Long engaged in sexist behavior. Trump has a long record of personally attacking women he disagrees by calling them "unattractive," ugly or fat. He once sent a target a personal note telling her that she has the "face of a dog." Not even his own daughter is immune to Trump's sexism. While referring to his daughter, Trump observed: "She does have a very nice figure...if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
- Hypocritically complained about jobs being shipped overseas to China, despite the fact that almost his entire clothing line sold at Macy's is made in China and other Asian nations.
- Use his public platform to deny the reality of climate change. Following Hurricane Sandy, Trump publicly declared: "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
The petition also wants Macy's to stop using Trump's face in nostalgic new advertisements for the department store, which feature Trump alongside Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Martha Stewart as characters in a new version of the "Miracle on 34th Street."
