Knowing your audience (or not)

Out of touch and soon out of time...

In response to Nordstrom's and a few other retailers dropping Ivanka Trump's clothing line due to piss poor sales, Kellanne Conway, ever the unadulterated sycophant, went on Fox News today and encouraged Trump supporters to head out to the mall and show their support for him by buying his daughter's clothing.  This caused quite the uproar, because under federal law, public servants aren't allowed to hawk goods on TV (or elsewhere).

Lost in all the legal hubbub, though, was the absurdity of the request--does Conway really think the average Fox News viewer shops at Nordstrom's?  Or that the poor white folks whose economic anxiety supposedly led to Trump's electoral college victory have the disposable income to buy upscale clothing?

They might be shopping at Old Fart's 'R' Us Discount Barn, but they sure as shit aren't paying premium prices for Trump Turds at Nordstrom's.

Fuck Donald Trump,
