Donald Trump Suits And Ties Are Made in China by Heather Long March 8, 2016 Donald Trump blasts companies like Ford and Apple for manufacturing products outside the United States. He even threatened to stop eating Oreo cookies after he learned some production was moving to Mexico. But Trump does the same thing.
Many of his products are made outside the United States. Most Donald J. Trump ties are made in China. Some Donald J. Trump suits are also made in China.
Donald J. Trump signature men's dress shirts are made in China, Bangladesh or "imported," meaning they were made abroad.
And it's not just Donald's products. Harvard professor and trade expert Robert Lawrence analyzed over 800 items in the Ivanka Trump fashion line. There are shoes, dresses, purses and scarves. All are "imported."
The top five countries that America imports clothing from are China (by far the leader), India, Vietnam, Pakistan and Mexico. Related: Trump tower's Chinese investors buy a path to U.S. citizenship
"In a recent debate Marco Rubio mentioned ties. But the ties made in China are just the tip of the iceberg," says Lawrence, who served on President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers.
Lawrence found that none of Ivanka Trump's clothing line appears to be made exclusively in the United States and 354 items are listed as made in China. Trump doesn't dispute this.
"I talk about my ties in speeches. I'm open. I say my ties many times are made in China," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper in July.
"It's very hard to have apparel made in this country," Trump said.

Nazi salute? Good God, have youeven watched any of his rallies? He asked people to raise their hands if they pledged to vote for him. I see you get your talking points from the MSM - what a blinded fool you are.
My suits were all made in Spain by a Master Tailer. Big f***ing deal.
You, steelfish, are a con man and snake-oil salesman.
The Uniparty has been trying to outsource all garment manufacturing to the Philippines:
Desperation. Checking the label in his underwear.

Wow that just does it. Now I have to vote for hillary.
I don’t care if they’re made in Borneo by little 8 year old pygmies. He’s a business and a business answers to the stockholders.
Sorry to offend your “Dear Leader.” Even the North Koreans are not so tethered to THEIR Dear Leader.
All that tells me is that he doesn’t wear all the uber expensive name brand crap that all the celebrities wear. How many of wear anything made in the U.S? I’d guess less than 10 %. To me, Trump wearing clothing made in China is not a big deal at all. It’s a good thing as far as I’m concerned for the reasons listed above.
Bump for later.
And I am sure Cruz has only U.S. made clothes!
Fine, but don’t run for President as a hypocrite. This is why its Trump and not just any other business owner who is making news.
That's racist!
I feel so sorry for you folks.
You can’t remember this has been posted on the forum many times.
Then you also forget what a nothing burger it was last time, so you trot it out again.
