Macy's Severs Ties with Trump After Remarks on Mexicans 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
In other news from the campaign trail, Macy's has become the latest
company to cut ties with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
after he called Mexican immigrants criminals and "rapists." After more
than 700,000 people signed a petition urging Macy's to sever ties with
Trump, the retailer said Wednesday it would phase out its Donald Trump
menswear line. NBC and Univision have also cut ties with Trump over his
comments, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city is
reviewing its contracts with Trump.
