Speaking at an event in Springfield, Illinois, Trump told an audience:

"Today I read...and I have Starbucks, they are my tenants. Did you read about Starbucks? No more 'Merry Christmas' on Starbucks. No more. I wouldn't buy. Hey look, I am speaking against myself. I have one of the most successful Starbucks in Trump Tower. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks? I don't know... seriously. I don't care. By the way, that's the end of that lease. But who cares? Who cares? Who cares?"

In a curious take on executive privilege, Trump also guaranteed his audience that if he becomes president "we'll all be saying Merry Christmas again."
