forbes Shocking to hear that a 'designer' does not like a 'bull dog' conservative. Forbes, your articles are valuable. Not sure why you published this. Old news!

UFOT unfit for office trumpo

The joker president!

Who’s Ghesquiere (idk how to even pronounce it, guy’s queer?!)! and why should we care about his/her feelings?

One thousand jobs for American workers and this is the story angle that Forbes decides to put out there?

Oh well that’s life in both business and politics 😆

Forbes: more losing.

Lol I'm sure he'll never recover from a French purse designer's insult.

That drawstring is nice. The majority of my bags were damaged in the floods...

If that is the general stance of the company then why would they let him cut the ribbon 🎀? Is the company saying that they are also a joke?

Random French guy doesn’t like Trump, so what 🤷🏽‍♀️

The French designer is more than welcome NOT to have any of their products produced in the USA. Easy as that. And hopefully smart Americans won’t buy the overpriced products

Of course you would put that out there! How many said good things? But we would not want to report that would we!
