Macy's just broke up with Donald Trump

Macy's is joining NBC and Univision in severing ties with Donald Trump. "We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form," the company said in a statement.

The business mogul and 2016 Republican presidential candidate has come under fire for saying during his presidential announcement that Mexican immigrants are "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people."

A petition calling for the elimination of Trump merchandise from Macy's had already received 700,000 signatures, Business Insider reports. An earlier petition that gained more than 200,000 signatures called for NBC to fire Trump over his comments about Latinos. NBC has since dumped Trump.
