LL Bean is currently trending on Twitter because of a social media fight being played out over LL Bean heiress and board member, Linda Bean, and upset consumers who disagree with her support of President-elect Donald Trump. The fight started with a boycott of LL Bean products and has now escalated to national attention after Trump tweeted a note of thanks to Linda Bean.
Here is what folks had to say on Twitter.
One person searched for health coverage at LL Bean?

This person who knows about the backlog of boot orders.
LL Bean had 100,000 people on a waiting list for just their duck boots this year. Your boycott is pointless.

This famous Maine blogger with a wise suggestion.
LL Bean needs to get in front of this situation now that Trump has put your name in his mouth. Folks outside of ME don't grasp situation.
