"......“When it comes to political hypocrisy, Donald Trump deserves a gold medal,” said Mark J. Perry, a professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan-Flint and creator of the economics blog Carpe Diem. “At the same time that the billionaire businessman criticizes Ford for producing some of its cars in Mexico, and threatens to stop any expansion there and impose a 35% tax on Ford imports from Mexico, he certainly has no trouble taking advantage of the global marketplace when it comes to his own businesses.”

Perry notes Trump has imported clothing from China and Mexico produced for his brand. “For Trump to operate, outsource and invest globally while criticizing companies like Ford for doing the same is the ultimate hypocrisy. To be fair to Ford, Trump should either agree to impose a 35% tax on Trump Collection clothing and agree to stop investing overseas, or he should stop his threats against Ford for operating as a global carmaker.”

As economists such as Don Boudreaux and Mark Perry point out, there is no real difference between a U.S. car company investing in a foreign country and a real estate company building a hotel or office building in a foreign country.

Under “Our Hotels” on the Trump Hotel Collection website, it lists six domestic hotels and six international hotels. Is the problem Ford is building something in Latin America? Well, there are Trump hotels in Panama and Rio de Janeiro. The other hotels abroad are in Toronto, Doonbeg, Ireland, Vancouver, and Baku, Azerbaijan. (Toronto and Vancouver also have a Trump Tower.)

On the website for the Trump Real Estate Collection, nine international properties are listed, including two Trump Towers in India and one in Istanbul, another in Uruguay and another in the Philippines, as well as a Trump World in South Korea, among others."............. More

How in the world is building a hotel in a foreign country the same as building a factory in a foreign country and importing the product? Is Trump building hotels cheaper there and importing the rooms?

Are you actually spouting the ramblings of “ivory tower” educators here? In FR? You are an idiot aren’t you. The 2 professional theorists you reference here have neve had an actual job in their lives. Just so you know most people here hold economists with the same esteem as lawyers.

Theorist should only be allowed to teach physics. For some professor to sit in a class room and point out mistakes made while someone else was actually doing something, risking their own wealth is ridiculous at its best.

The crap about Trump having ties made in china is a little ridiculous. He partnered with a manufacturer that contracted the work out. He didn’t actively say “my business could make more money if I move my factory over seas”, proceed to have one built, and layoff an entire town of people.

You can try and paint it that way. But that’s not what happened in Trumps case.

So now we know that you are in fact a lib. You went right to the ivory tower theorist, instead of looking at the real world.

I certainly hope you slip up a bit more so others here see you as the fraud you are.

So long troll!!!
