Groupon pulls ads from Trump site
…The daily-deals website said late Thursday that it will pull its ads from the website of Donald Trump’s television show “The Apprentice” to distance itself from the “political criticism” swirling around Trump and his presidential ambitions.
“Enough consumers have contacted us to warrant ensuring that we don’t place ads on the ‘Apprentice’ homepage in the future,” the company said in a post on its blog. “It’s the same reason we don’t run deals on guns or abortion … this isn’t a political statement, it’s avoiding intentionally upsetting a segment of our customers.”
