In the message, Trump said, “My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. Kathleen Clark, a government ethics expert, said the Nordstrom tweet is problematic because other retailers may think twice now about dropping the Ivanka Trump brand for fear of getting criticized publicly by the president. Nordstrom said last week that its decision was based on the Ivanka Trump brand's performance, and that each year it replenishes about 10% of its supply with new products. Retailer Belk Inc. said in an email Wednesday that it will no longer be carrying the Ivanka Trump brand on its website but will still offer the merchandise at its stores. Ivanka Trump herself has said she would take a leave of absence from her clothing and accessories business as well as the Trump organization.
