On 13 February 2017, Fox News published a story appearing to report that Happy Days actor Scott Baio announced he would boycott retail chain Nordstrom because he was unhappy with its decision to drop the clothing line of President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka: The tweet prompted comedians to pile on the actor (best known for playing Chachi): Unhappy with being the butt of South African comedian and Daily Show host Trevor Noah's joke, Baio responded, When you, @Trevornoah learn what it means to be an American then you'll have a say. Until then enjoy our $ and shut your pie-hole! The flap prompted Huffington Post blogger David Fagin to write a satirical post reporting that the mall chain best known for selling clothing and cosmetics was going under, thanks entirely to Baio's boycott: While some apparently thought the post was straight news, it was clearly labeled satire at the top. A spokeswoman for Nordstrom confirmed to us that the retailer is not filing for bankruptcy.
