"Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into " a letter obtained by the New York Times read. "All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded." Doreen Thompson, a spokeswoman for the TJX Companies, the retailers' parent company, said the instruction wasn't to remove the items from the sale floor but rather "eliminate special displays for the merchandise." Though Thompson did not directly respond to questions regarding reasons for the sign removal, an employee told The New York Times that she had never received a request as such in her several years working there. The news comes on the coattails of Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus' announcements that they will no longer be carrying Trump's clothing and jewelry line, citing brand performance. President Trump hit back at Nordstrom on Wednesday tweeting, "My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!"
