This was a good read...the author has a witty writing style.  I think this paragraph makes the critical point:
[quote]Ironically, of course, his celebrating them has as much chance of driving them into the ground as not. And that's because he is fueling hatred and disdain and the idea that it's acceptable to reject anything not like you. Trump didn't create this world, but he's fanned the flames of it into an uncontrollable blaze. And now here we are, trying to decide whether or not we'll shop at a 105-year old American company (that still makes its boots in the USA!) not because the company itself made a political statement, but because one of the 50-plus owners did.[/quote]
The irony is that by boycotting a company that has been explicit in remaining apolitical, while also maintaining business practices that most liberals would dream all companies would, liberals are playing Trump's game.

Don't get caught in his web![/quote]
