I was going for sarcasm. The slow steady death of Malls (the home of nearly all JC Penny stores) has been going on for over a decade now, and pretty much all of the articles I see about JC Penny's or Malls blame Amazon and people shopping from home for stuff. Given our current President's speech tonight and his preference for seeing things in an alternate light and his issues with estimating how full or how empty an aerial photo can be I thought "What would Trump say?" and well it just came out.

My apologies for those who were offended or missed the joke.
