Donald Trump’s businesses and brand have
taken a beating since the GOP frontrunner
entered the 2016 race for the White House.
In the latest blow, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola
Sturgeon has dropped Trump from the
country’s global business outreach network
because of his remarks about banning Muslims
from traveling to the United States, the BBC
reports .
Trump was appointed GlobalScot ambassador in
2006. The program utilizes experts in various
business fields worldwide to connect with and help
Scottish businesses grow. His “recent remarks have
shown he is no longer fit to be a business
ambassador for Scotland,” a government
spokeswoman told the BBC. His membership
cancellation went into effect immediately.
There are also calls to strip Trump of an honorary
doctorate in business from Robert Gordon
University, which was bestowed in 2010. The
petition from the Scottish university accuses Trump
of hate speech.
“We respectfully request that Robert Gordon
University strips Donald Trump of the honorary
degree it bestowed on him with immediate
effect. Why is this important? We feel that Donald
Trump’s unrepentant, persistent verbal attacks on
various groups of people based on nationality,
religion, race and physical abilities are a huge
detriment to RGU.”
200,000 United Kingdom citizens have also signed
a petition that Trump be barred from entering
Britain’s shores. Any petition exceeding 100,000
signatures is automatically taken into consideration
for debate in Parliament, according to the BBC .
The move came after Trump’s continuous claims
that parts of London are so heavily saturated with
radical Islam that police won’t enter, fearing for
their lives. This claim has been discounted as false
and also heavily mocked, with social media users
posting under the hashtag #trumpfacts images
like Queen Elizabeth II wearing a headscarf with the
caption: “Even the British monarch is now forced to
wear a hijab.”
On Wednesday, the Lifestyle chain of department
stores in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar dropped Trump’s home goods
line, Trump Home . Landmark, the parent company
that owns the store chain, said it would pull
Trump’s products from shelves in all its 190 stores
throughout the Middle East, Africa and Pakistan.
“In light of the recent statements made by the
presidential candidate in the U.S. media, we have
suspended sale of all products from the Trump
Home décor range,” CEO Sachin Mundhwa said in
an email to Reuters .
This isn’t the first time Trump’s comments on the
campaign trail have hurt his business ventures. In
July, Macy’s department stores announced they
would cut ties with Trump after his remarks about
Mexican people being criminals and rapists. NBC
and Spanish-language network Univision also cut
ties with Trump, vowing not to air Trump’s Miss
USA pageant.
Mattress maker Serta also announced in July it
would end its contract with Trump. Serta was
selling Trump Home iSeries branded mattresses
that are priced between $1,299 to $2,999.
“Serta will not renew its contract at the end of the
year and we will work with retailers to transition
products by that time,” the company tweeted at the
time.
Trump had apparently set the tone when he
launched his presidential candidacy by calling
Mexicans rapists and drug runners. His rallies have
been punctuated by protests and racially-charged
violence .

U HAV no idea how Americans think. That's what hurt his presendential campaign.....WRONG......That's just what WON IT FOR HIM. AMERICANS DONT CARE ABOUT GOOD OPINION POLLS OR POLITICAL CORECTNES. They are the global dominant nation and want a president who shares and can express their views 'unequivically' ...he is not a loony for saying what he said on the account as that's how most united state absolutists would like to see the middle eastern global terror threat dealt with!

You are right that most Americans think the way he did and would love him for that. But banning Muslims From America won't solve America's self inflicted problems but rather aggravate them. The relationship is symbiotic thus America need the Muslims as Muslims need America. If the US ban Muslims and Muslims ban US then there will be serious repercussions.
The US and her allies destabilize the middle east and what they are getting is a backlash of their hypocrisy.

That's not going to affect his net worth much,
Trump doesn't own those stores, the just pay him for using his name to brand their products,
The university that withdrew the doctorate degree, just wants to cash in on the Trump mania and increase it publicity,
I bet majority of us here and even many in the UK, don't know that such a university exists.
No matter what Donald Trump says and does,
Even if he fails to win the Republican nomination,
He is still going to remain a billionaire.

He is definitely not going to win any nomination talk less of US presidency.
