The PAC's balanced giving suggests a pragmatic corporate interest in lobbying rather than an ideological alignment with any specific wing of the GOP.

Following the 2016 election, then-CEO Terry Lundgren confirmed that Macy's would not bring back Trump-branded merchandise, stating the company stands by its decision to distance itself from the political figure's rhetoric.

In July 2015, Macy's discontinued its business relationship with Donald Trump, removing his menswear line from stores following his campaign launch comments regarding Mexican immigrants. The company stated it does not believe the disparaging characterizations are consistent with Macy's values.
Notes: This was a foundational moment in the corporate-MAGA divide.
This represents a direct, material financial and brand-alignment break from the movement's founder. The high weight reflects the permanence and public nature of the severance.
