Donald Trump suits and ties are made in China

Donald Trump suits and ties are made in China

"SNIP..........


Donald Trump blasts companies like Ford and Apple for manufacturing products outside the United States. He even threatened to stop eating Oreo cookies after he learned some production was moving to Mexico.

But Trump does the same thing. Many of his products are made outside the United States. Most Donald J. Trump ties are made in China. Some Donald J. Trump suits are also made in China.

Donald J. Trump signature men's dress shirts are made in China, Bangladesh or "imported," meaning they were made abroad.

And it's not just Donald's products. Harvard professor and trade expert Robert Lawrence analyzed over 800 items in the Ivanka Trump fashion line. There are shoes, dresses, purses and scarves. All are "imported."

ever say "hey, love your plan let's do it exactly as you say."

To me (and Trump supporters) it is more about ideas and what you are for and what you are against, isn't it? I worry about the extreme poor. Would love it if someone said "I will do everything in my power to eliminate poverty." period. paragraph.
