He just wouldn’t make as much of a profit, but he would be giving Americans jobs. You know Apple makes computers here even though everyone else said it wouldn’t be cost effective.
I am sure Trump wasn’t interested in starting a tie manufacturing facility. He just has someone making ties to his specifications.

Additionally, Trump doesn’t have tie manufacturing expertise. He’s much better off to sub the work to someone that could produce to his quality standards and pricing.
