Now that Toys R Us" is closing down for good, should we blame Trump too ? 🎁

Maybe. Toys R Us use to be the biggest seller of toys in the world. Now that is not the case anymore. ☺ Look, the truth is that times have changed. And we all know about how much this current generation of children are more into the latest cell phone, or tablet, more so than they are
into toys. Kids need to be mentally stimulated nowadays, and toys may be a bit bland for some of them for sure. The euphoria only lasts for a few days, and then it quickly goes unnoticed.
Corporate greed has taken over now, and if you are an underperforming business you will eventually be history. The competition is very tight now with places like Wal Mart, and Amazon. What can you do ? Should we blame Donald Trump for this loss. ☺

@hlpflwthat No. This was going on long before Obama. ☺

Private Equity firms are cannibalizing their dependents sooner than I expected. Anonymous piles of money really lack innovation & creativity - and quite often even management skill.

@hlpflwthat I think the market to some degree is sabatoging the competition in order to increase ad revenue. What do you think.

@Zonuss I think competitors certainly ratcheted up the heat following the September re-org filing. But the debt service created & carried by the Private Equity outfits taking Toys R Us private was the anchor that drowned them.
