Trump tweets to support LL Bean, but links to the one lady on the board who actually likes him’s side company selling lobsters, somehow screwing over LL Bean because now people will boycott it while promoting her personal business.

Good use of power there, Trump.

huh? him’s? and what do lobsters have to do with LL Bean?

OK, so LL Bean has a member on their board who supports Trump. The board denounces her for proclaiming any political affiliation at all. This board member also owns a company selling Lobster. What Trump does in his tweet is tell his supporters to shop LL Bean, while linking to the profile of the board member’s lobster company, making it so liberals want to stop supporting LL Bean while making conservatives want to buy lobsters from the board member’s side business. So Trump hurt the LL Bean board that rejected his friend by causing a boycott while promoting the personal business of his friend. Seems really shitty to me.
