A Donald Trump-friendly Las Vegas hotel has stopped selling Tom Ford products over the designer's refusal to dress his wife.
The Wynn Las Vegas hotel, whose owner Steve Wynn is reportedly good friends with the President, has ceased sales of cosmetics and sunglasses of the Tom Ford brand.
The news came from Mr Trump himself, in an interview to Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends.
He said Wynn called him to say "he thought it was so terrible what Tom Ford said, that he threw his clothing out of his Las Vegas hotel".
The American fashion designer is one of many who have turned down the opportunity to dress the First Lady.
The 55-year-old declined to dress Melania Trump years ago, saying "she's not necessarily my image", and has made known his thoughts on Mr Trump.
"I do have to say the simple fact that Donald Trump has got as far as he has is proof of the fact that our culture has dumbed down," he told Paste BN during the campaign.
Mr Trump told Fox his wife never asked Ford to dress her as First Lady and "doesn't like" Ford or his designs.
"I'm not a fan of Tom Ford, never have been," he said.
