"Trump has long complained of China's currency manipulation and called for a 25% tariff on imports from China. He has even exhorted Americans to stop buying cheap Chinese-made goods.
We wonder if that includes the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, Trump's menswear line that is the "pinnacle of style and sophistication" and, as luck would have it, made in China."

Never ceases to amaze me what absolute morons who consider themselves “conservative” actually buy the B.S. this assclown is shoveling.
Exactly. Trump is NOT a conservative, he is a clownish reality TV star who made a bunch of money on casinos and real estate.
That fat pig makes me throw up, the more I read about him:
“On his web site, Trump describes himself as an ardent philanthropist whose charitable activities are an integral part of his ethos. He is the archetypal businessman, and an icon of New York. Oh, he is also the most recognized businessman in the world, a trailblazer whose acumen is unrivaled, and the diversity of his interests has set a new paradigm in the world of business.
Strangely, though the billionaires web site chronicles every aspect of his life in great detail—children, books, golf courses, Trump chocolate, Trump bedding, beauty pageants, Trump spring water, Trump bath rugs—his purported ardent philanthropy is not further described. Which is odd, considering Trump—whose superlatives have their own superlatives—has never been shy about gassily trumpeting every last one of his world-beating achievements.
Such modesty would be refreshing were it valid. “
As far as Trump goes he is kicking Obama in the shins. That works for me.
who made a bunch of money on casinos and real estate
... and is now getting TONS of press pretending like he might run for President.
That 25% tariff would apply to anything the Donald buys from China too, wouldn’t it? If so, then what’s the problem?
Trump is no different than John Gotti or Tony Soprano.
Real or fake, Trump is just another foul mouth thug. A mobster in waiting. Fuggetaboutit! LOL
Donald Trump would never take the pay cut to be President of the United States.
I’m more interested in who the rising conservative is to run against Obama.
So far, nobody.
Only one I would vote for is Allen West and it appears he’s not running.
They think that Trump is hypocritical if his clothing line is made in China.
Is any clothing still made in America? The “meel” that John Edwards’ daddy worked in closed down years ago, as the whole textile industry shut down in America.
He may be kicking O’s shins, but he is doing it while PRETENDING to be one of us. His stupidity (and hypocrisy) reflect on us, our cause, our purpose. He is a fat, arrogant blowhard who does much more damage to us than he does to the libs. I can even imagine, he is a ‘plant’ to discredit our movement.
Another key point is Donald trump was born with a silver spoon (and foot) in his mouth. Fred trump was the self-made man. He does have Fred’s DNA though and is big whealer dealer kind of guy. If president he would probably buy some 3rd world countries and build casinos.
Does it really make a difference where his clothing line is currently manufactured? It seems that the unions had no problem moving the clothing manufacture industry out of the U.S. I’m sure he can find another third world country anxious for a job. Perhaps the U.S. if we leave this Cabal intact for a couple of years. This whole thing is just juvenile. We should cheer anybody who keeps the heat on BH0. We don’t have to support him in the primaries and you aren’t constantly asked to donate to Trump like say the clowns at the GOP. He is pissing off the Libtards for free.
He asked for the BC, he is asking for college transcripts, he will get around to other stuff like Obama's passport and his SS#. The election is a long way out. What Trump has been doing hurts Obama. Good good good!
I wouldn’t vote for Trump for president in a million years. But I do find this business a bit silly.
Trump has argued against “free trade” policies that have sent our entire clothing industry to China and other countries. I remember when the mills and factories shut down. There are very few places anywhere in the U.S. where you can get clothing made now, and especially high quality clothing.
So, what’s he going to do? Open up his own factory and try charging twice as much as anyone else? That wouldn’t work.
The only way we are going to get clothing made in America again is to stop our insane “free trade” policy—which is not free trade at all, since other governments set all sorts of barriers against our goods, but we have to let their stuff in. And they control the organizations that set the rules.
So, if we set reasonable rules and reasonable tariffs, maybe we can start to rebuild the American clothing industry. That won’t be easy, but it’s the only way we can do it.
Where else can Trump buy clothes to sell? The factories in the South and in Maine have all been shuttered or torn down.
Thanks to the government’s imposed regulations, we have lost our industrial backbone, so why should Trump not follow suit? He didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. The only way we can get those jobs that made America great and prosperous back is to remove the crippling regulations. I think Trump has said as much.

“Guess Where Donald Trump’s Menswear Line Is Manufactured?”
Who cares? Most of mind comes from China too. They make darn good stuff.
“Does it really make a difference where his clothing line is currently manufactured? It seems that the unions had no problem moving the clothing manufacture industry out of the U.S.”
You are correct.
