I haven't heard much about this, but if true, as the commercial says, "they have a valid point."

I admire Trump. Putting Tariffs on China and Mexico would hurt at least a couple of his own lines of business. But it would be in America’s best interest, so he advocates for it.

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

What next - Donald Trump ate a taco once upon a time?

It's an "old" revelation. Trump apologists counter by asking, "what was he supposed to do?"

As if "not endorse the clothing line" were not an option.

The textile industry has been dead in this country for decades due to so called “fair trade.” Go to your closet and check where your clothes were made. Not here.

He already stated his tie collection was made in China. He isn’t advocating not having products made in foreign countries -he’s talking about how they undercut our American made products. It’s hard to find American made products anywhere. A couple of years ago - I bought a new refrigerator - the only one which is still manufactured in the U.S. - Frigidaire. He even talked about having to buy tv sets from S. Korea or Japan - they aren’t made here in American any more. This “gotcha” proves nothing.

Some reporter had an orgasm posting this, no doubt.

Naaaa. Most of the parts on my truck are made in Mexico,
does that make you a wetback? No point at all.

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.

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.

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!

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.
