'Bikers for Trump' founder says Trump shirts made in Haiti, American-made products are too expensive

The founder of “Bikers for Trump” said that he sells pro-Trump t-shirts made in Haiti because American-made products are too expensive.

“If I get a T-shirt made in the U.S.A., it’s going to cost about $8 more,” Chris Cox told the New York Times. “I looked far and wide to try to get a shirt made in America, it’s just they get you, they gouge you.”

The comment came as part of The Times’ wider look at the reaction of pro-Trump motorcyclists to President Trump’s feud with Harley-Davidson.

According to The Times, many bikers are now turning against the company, placing their loyalty to the brand second to their loyalty to Trump.

But Cox’s comment is striking given the context of bikers’ complaints, and Trump’s push for more products to be made in the U.S.
