A [new survey conducted by CNBC](http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/12/americans-embrace-financial-activism-after-trump-elected-survey-says.html) shows 37% of Americans say they have made spending decisions based on Trump’s election. Of those that said the president has had an effect on their purchases, 21% said they chose to spend their money in opposition to Trump, while 15% said they spent it in his favor. The CNBC poll, which surveyed 804 Americans for three days in early April, found that Americans' spending habits were split along partisan lines — with 49% of Democrats and 28% of Republicans saying they changed because of the election. Opponents to Trump have rallied behind the [#GrabYourWallet movement](https://money.com/grab-your-wallet-anti-trump-boycott/), which boycotts certain companies that promote or sell Trump products and brands. Retailers have also gotten slightly political, with some offering big discounts or pulling Trump-branded products all together. The president himself [targeted](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/829356871848951809) Nordstrom after it [pulled](http://motto.time.com/4659402/nordstrom-stop-selling-ivanka-trump-merchandise/) his daughter Ivanka Trump's products from their stores. As a result, some Trump supporters boycotted the company. My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by [@Nordstrom](https://x.com/Nordstrom?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) [February 8, 2017](https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/829356871848951809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Nordstrom insisted that its decision to [no longer sell Ivanka's products](http://fortune.com/2017/02/08/donald-trump-nordstrom-dropping-ivanka-trump/) had nothing to do with the election, instead pointing to declining sales. But the spending isn't all related to Trump-branded products. The American Civil Liberties Union received a record number of [donations](https://time.com/4653189/aclu-muslim-ban-donald-trump/) immediately after the organization sued the Trump administration over the president's original executive order on immigration. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/donald-trump-financial-decisions-grab-your-wallet/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Economy and Politics", "item": "https://money.com/economy-and-politics/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Consumer Rights", "item": "https://money.com/consumer-rights/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Americans Are Making Financial Decisions Based on President Trump" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/donald-trump-financial-decisions-grab-your-wallet/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/donald-trump-financial-decisions-grab-your-wallet/", "name": "Americans Are Making Financial Decisions Based on President Trump", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-04-16T18:33:07.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/donald-trump-financial-decisions-grab-your-wallet/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/donald-trump-financial-decisions-grab-your-wallet/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-05-16T12:20:32.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Americans Are Making Financial Decisions Based on President Trump", "articleSection": "Economy and Politics", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/11/gettyimages-109251742.jpg", "width": 3000, "height": 2254, "caption": "Ivanka Trump Launches Her Spring 2011 Lifestyle Collection Of Footwear At The Topanga Nordstrom" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jennifer Calfas", "url": "https://money.com/author/jennifer-calfas/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/jennifer-calfas/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/jencalfas" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-04-16T18:33:07.000Z", "description": "President Donald Trump has inspired the Grab Your Wallet boycott movement and donations to the American Civil Liberties Union", "abstract": "President Donald Trump has inspired the Grab Your Wallet boycott movement and donations to the American Civil Liberties Union", "@id": "https://money.com/donald-trump-financial-decisions-grab-your-wallet/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-05-16T12:20:32.000Z", "wordCount": 226, "keywords": [ "Donald Trump", "onetime", "White House" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Political economy", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_economy" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Consumer protection", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_protection" ] } ] } ] } ```
