Oh please, you stark raving mad Trump supporters are now using logic and reason...

You’ll subvert anything to back this cannibal.

(Heh heh heh...)

He does advocate for eliminating the Corporate tax and lowering individual income taxes.

There is nothing hypocritical about making money under the existing rules, while advocating a rule change that would be in America’s best interest.

He said no such thing - he said he would impose a tariff on their goods.

American made clothing costs 10x as much. I understand that. So why doesn't he just say that?

I've heard him say exactly that more than once.

Yup.

But it's still a true fact.

Long ago we all tried to buy American. Remember when everything was made in Japan?

Everything in my house and on my body is made in a place I don’t approve of.

That’s part of why we are DONE WITH WASHINGTON POLITICIANS.

I wish people would clean out their ears - he has talked about lowering corporate taxes so that companies can once again compete here in America.

He talked about how US consumers pay double the world market price for sugar because of out Depression era regulations.

That would be true if he wasn't lambasting Ford and Nabisco.

They were/are moving their operations out of the country for the same reason that Trump buys his clothing from Mexican manufacturers.

If he lambastes himself, he will no longer be a hypocrite.

What, they found some not made in China?

Of course, Trump’s already talked about this in his speeches.

The tag on his suits and ties is supposed to say "MAD AT MEXICO", not "MADE IN MEXICO"!

If they think Trump is mad at Mexico they haven't been listening to what he's been saying.

You're right that he has said that he would impose a 25-35% tariff on their goods (which is OK, if you really want to incite a trade war, fine). But he has ALSO said that he would not allow the plant to be opened:

"I would say, the deal is not going to be approved, I won’t allow it."

Query what power a President Trump would have to "approve" or "allow" a company to build a plant overseas.

He said he has Hispanic employees. People think they are Megyn Kelly and like to post these “gotcha” articles. I just wish they would clean their ears to understand exactly what Trump really said. He’d like to have products made here but the cost of labor is high which passes it on to consumers. This free trade has done nothing but kill American jobs.

“Free Trade” has been a disaster. I don’t want my tee shirts or my cookies made in foreign countries. Trump doesn’t either. In the meantime, I’m not going to go without clothes and his campaign is not going to go without hats.

something manufactured in Mexico has something to do with illegal illiterate Mexicans coming here?

Silly me. I took it as a positive that Trump was providing the opportunity for Mexicans to work in their homeland. In accordance with our laws and treaties.

But now I know that it's outrageous and I should immediately send a donation to Jeb.

That's good, but he's also talked about tariffs and ranted about Ford and Nabisco moving their factories to Mexico.

Trump probably has zero knowledge of where things with his name on them are made and certainly has no control over it!

Heck... I bet that hat he wears was made in China!

big freaking deal!

A valid point???
And what would that be?

The clothing is made in Mexico by uh, how shall I put this - legal residents of Mexico!
Has Trump ever said he was opposed to Mexico or to Mexicans?

In fact, he's helping the immigration problem by providing them employment IN MEXICO!
