I don’t think they have a valid point at all.
First they say Trump is racist for not wanting Mexicans here illegally.
Now, they want to say he is a racist for having CLOTHES that are made in Mexico?!!?
That is a non sequitur.
NO ONE is against Mexico having business. No one is against Mexicans having jobs in Mexico.
I, for one, am not against having LEGAL Mexican immigrants.
IN FACT, one might say that someone BUYING Mexican goods and services is a GREAT reason for people to STAY in that country and WORK and make that nation’s economy better.
Social media needs to grow up.

According to CIS, 71 percent of illegal-alien headed households with children received some sort of welfare in 2009, compared with 39 percent of native-headed houses with children. Illegal immigrants generally access welfare programs through their U.S.-born children, to whom government assistance is guaranteed. Additionally, U.S.-born children of illegal aliens are entitled to American public schools, health care, and more, even though illegal-alien households rarely pay taxes.

I thought his hats were made here in America?
Not at all true:
My shoes, my socks, my shirts, my pants - all are made in the U.S.
You just have to be willing to put your money where your mouth is.
Yep. You Nailed it.
You have a point. But those are big targets, Trumps lines are small. And even though he’s singling those companies, his overall theme is to renegotiate with countries to get balanced trade. With the possible exception of Ford, he’s talked about tariffing all products from China and Mexico unless they come to the table and negotiate fairer trade. With Nabisco, he simply said he wouldn’t eat them.

Now that you mention it, I do seem to remember him saying that. Thanks for reminding me.
Why shouldn’t he rant and rave about them moving their operations to Mexico? It has put more Americans out of work. DUH!
We would be poorer without it. Farmers would be sitting on mountains of wheat and the Chinese would be sitting on mountains of laptops.
The main reason why American manufacturing can't compete is because of the world's highest corporate taxes and the strangling cost of regulation.
American will never be competitive in some forms of manufacturing (like textiles) because of the large amount of hand-work and the percentage of labor cost in the final product. Besides, it's brutally hard work that pays very little.
Seriously, where do you shop? I’d love to own more American duds.
I dunno - ask Boeing.
How could Lindsey Graham have a field day? He and his buddies are responsible for NAFTA.
Danny, your post should be Trump’s response. In fact, Trump should read FR before he responds to anything.
Mexico keeps the factory workers and sends the rest here, to sponge off of our welfare system.
¡Jeb! approves!
He played “Tijuana Taxi” on his stereo.
The SHAME!
Highly unlikely. I work in sportswear, a label (Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, etc) are very often not produced by that company. In fact a single item could be sub-contracted to several different mills in different NAFTA countries.
The fact Trump wants to bring that manufacturing back to the US is the important issue.
Donald should set a patriotic example for all Americans by wearing clothes made in America.
Creating jobs for Mexicans, in Mexico, so that they don’t have to sneak across the border illegally. A good idea!
Trump’s campaign gear is made in America.
