Included with the purchase of a gold ear cuff, the note read, “‘Dear Ivanka, Thank you so much for your web order! We’re happy to let you know that the proceeds of your sale have been generously donated to the American Immigration Council, the Everytown for Gun Safety organization, and the Hillary Clinton campaign.”
The note was signed, “Best, Jill + Sabine,” with the Instagram photo captioned, “Dear @ivankatrump, #thanksbutnothanks #payitFORWARD.”
There’s no internet outrage quite like the outrage of Trumpians. The owners of jewelry store acknowledged Ivanka Trump’s purchase, and posted this to Instagram, where upon there was a trumplosion, so to speak.
“Loooooosers ! Say buh bye to your company,” wrote ilianaruizjcj.

“Disgusting! Keep your political views to yourself. Run your business with class. Hope you loose [sic] lots of money from being so ignorant,” added valleygrrrl, with another commenter chiming in, “I’m utterly in shock of your display of professionalism. I hate to, no actually ladies I’m not afraid to say but karma is a b*tch and I know it will come back to hurt you.”
Things weren’t much better on Facebook, with Beau Patterson calling them, “Self-serving, tacky tw*ts,” and JJ Lars, adding, ” F*cking worthless c*ck suckers!”
Laura Fleckenstein advocated trying to damage their business, writing, “I just sent them about 100 emails. Block up there [sic] business.”
And no comment thread infested with Trump fans would be complete without an all-caps rant, courtesy of Susan Phipps: “EVERYONE BOYCOTT LADY GREY..WE HAVE NEVER OF HEARD OF THIS CHEAP UGLY JEWELRY.. BUT WHAT FEW CUSTOMERS THEY DO HAVE NEED TO BOYCOTT..RUDE..DISREPECTFUL UNGRATEFUL BUSINESS..AND REALLY UGLY JEWELRY! IT MUST BE HARD FOR THOSE WHO WROTE THIS LETTER TO BE SO JEALOUS OF A RICH..SUCCESSFUL..BEAUTIFULWOMAN LIKE IVANKA WHO IS LOVED BY MILLIONS! #boycottladygrey”
I’m afraid Ms. Phipps of the all caps rage is a fine example of someone who doesn’t take out 10 seconds to think anything through. “Cheap ugly jewelry.” “Really ugly jewelry.” Um, that cheap, really ugly jewelry was purchased to be worn by the “rich…successful…beautifulwoman” Ivanka Trump. Ooopsie.
Full story here.
So the correct product was delivered and people are up in arms because the company chose to donate the proceeds to non-profits?
Only in America.
I don’t wear much jewelry but I think their stuff is quite pretty.
Wait?!?? They got personalized service and they’re complaining?!? I thought oligarchs appreciate that kind of thing.
I presume if they donated the proceeds to, say, teh KKK, and various other hate groups, the sampled nutters in the OP would also complain…?
Trumpians seem to be under the impression that this marginalizes and oppresses Ivanka.
Karma for what? They didn’t wrong Ivanka Trump. Once she bought the jewelry, the money belongs to the company. They donated their money, not Ivanka’s. They just informed her of the donation. Oh, the atrocity!
That does seem to be the angle the Washington Times (the moonie cult’s paper, and a favourite “source” for teh trum-prat) is taking.
Well, freedom and freedom of speech my ass.
Companies forcing the religious beliefs of their owners onto their employees? OK. Employers choosing what to do with their actually owned money? STOP THIS!!!!
Well, after this blatant display there’s only one thing I can do.
Namely, go to their site and see if I can get any early Christmas shopping done.
