So, apparently, Trump will increase or decrease your stocks and company status by how deep you can climb up his @ss..... 
Why is a PE shilling for companies.
I used to hate the phrase "I can't even...", but I find myself using it a lot lately.

Yes, a President's use of a product (Like Reagan and Jelly Belly jelly beans) has always been used, and that's fine, but I honestly don't recall a sitting President, or PE actively hawking products personally.
I don't recall GW saying "I nearly choked to death on a pretzel. Buy Planters Peanuts instead!"

I like LL Bean, but if the Oompah Loompah is schilling for them, I may take my business elsewhere.

OH please, this is so new. A President stumping for a company because someone associated with it DONATED to him? This is ridiculous and disgusting. Please don't deny it.

Yeah, it is new. I've never seen a president to that. A CELEBRITY, yes, but that's not the president
ETA and kinda off topic: anyone else laugh (and cry at the same time) when Trump people claim celebrities shouldn't talk about politics? Uh your guy IS just that...

Re: New way of doing business in the US, apparently....
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was  at all of the stupid FB posts about celebrities needing to shut up, their opinion doesn't matter because they are just a celebrity. And yet................you dumb a$$es elected into office a freaking TV REALITY STAR.
The irony is strong with Trump supporters.
For example.................Jail HRC. She's corrupt. She has no morals. She's a liar. She has no ethics. It's horrible!!
Buuuuuuut.....................turn a blind eye to ALL of the ethical conflicts that surround sweet ole Donnie Boy. Like the fact that he won't remove himself from his empire or better yet, he'll let his sons run in because that resolves the conflict of interest. Ummmm......ok. He lets his "know nothing" kids sit in on Presidential meetings and wants his SON-IN-LAW to hold a position in the White House. The man has NO ethics and morals and doesn't give a $hit about following the rules so I find it VERY ironic how he constantly called out HRC given all of his BS. What a joke.
But we all know that it doesn't matter what that man says or does because his supporters will keep on following their little crazed maniac. 
This country is headed for the $hitter!

My personal favorite was the meme with Mel Gibson. When you need Mel Gibson to support your position, you've lost before you even started! LOL.

Why is a PE shilling for companies.
I used to hate the phrase "I can't even...", but I find myself using it a lot lately.
The donation isn't what prompted the text. It was in response to Grab Your Wallet's boycott of LL Bean for her support of Trump. Why is supporting a presidential candidate the cause for a boycott now? This country is so divided, that's not going to help, it's just going to further the divide. While I don't know that it is Trump's place to get involved in the form of a tweet I certainly don't think this was just him "shilling for companies."

Yes, the divide in this country is a huge problem but trump is doing nothing to help that situation. When he talks at his press conference about how great things will be for the states that supported him and when he calls cnn fake news, when he is talking about his enemies in his holiday tweet, he is doing nothing but alienating half of this country. He needs to start showing a glimmer of an ability to unite the country and be the president of all people like he promised in his acceptance speech.

Lululu, I am speaking in general, not referring to you, but when people accuse anti Trump people of "furthering the divide", I equate that to accusing an abused spouse of furthering the conflict when they go to press charges.
People are fighting back against a man whose policies will literally kill people. Money talks. Why not boycott businesses who support him? Makes perfect sense to me!

It wasn't a mistake. Linda Bean owns the Lobster co. He purposely linked to Perfect Maine, and not LL Bean because they are mostly apolitical. He knew his mention of LL Bean would cause backlash. Vindictive a-hole.

I'm sorry, I disagree. He is not in office yet, none of his policies have killed anyone that I know of to date. I think boycotting a company based on their political donations is inappropriate. I am not accusing anti-Trump people of furthering the divide, I am accusing Grab Your Wallet of furthering the divide.

But LL Bean can and has defended themselves in this situation. That is their job, not Trump's. It is up to individuals to take in all the information and decide where to spend their money. Trump should be focused on much more important issues.

It's been made very clear, through anecdotes and an explanation of policy, that ACA is literally saving peoples' lives.
He JUST announced that he wants it repealed immediately BEFORE a replacement is implemented.
If you or someone you loved was going to suffer the way some people have described, I bet you would think any expression of outrage is appropriate.
