Unfortunately for LL Bean, it's probably going to go the other way with boycotts driving down their sales (does the CEO not realize people are avoiding being associated with Trump like the plague?). But yeah, kind of ridiculous for Trump to be picking companies because the CEO enjoys some orange ass to kiss. |
The Atlantic is reporting that Trump's tweet "was referencing a furor that had ignited after reports from
the Associated Press last week revealed that Linda Bean, the granddaughter of the company’s founder and one of L.L. Bean’s 10 board members,
made a $60,000 donation to a pro-Trump PAC that had far exceeded the legal limit." (emphasis added). Cite:

I don't consider an illegal donation to be the same as kissing one's posterior, but maybe it is the same.
Regardless, I can't say that I thought that LL Bean customers would also be Trump supporters, so I suspect that LL Bean will have a rough few weeks.
