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.

How petty can CNN get? Who cares where his suits are made? We have open borders that allow diseases to be transmitted, criminals to make mayhem, terrorists to sneak into our country. We have Islamofacists killing Christians and destroying churches. We have almost 100 million able bodied without work. We have many more people for whom health care is out of reach thanks to Obamacare. And more and more...

And CNN is worried where Trump get his suits? Where do they get their suits?

Maybe if CNN could practice journalism they could report on our domestic capability to produce suits, ties, and clothes. What is the trend?

This is really silly. The man says he will change this situation from the way it is now, and bring these jobs back to the United States.

So what is the con? If the establishment, world wide it now appears, did not believe that Donald J. Trump could do the things he has promised to do, then they wouldn’t be as upset as they are that he is winning!

After Donald Trump finishes doing all the “snake oil” things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until the stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all those “conservative” issues you want to address.

People have been brining this up since last summer. The apparel business is almost mandatory to be oversees. Our labor rates are just not competitive. I don’t blame Trump one bit. The only argument one could make is that the Trump shirts and ties are marked up quite bit and could potentially handle some higher labor cost. It would still hit the profit margin pretty hard, so I don’t think there’s much of an argument there.

there’s a con man around, but it ain’t Trump

“More than 90 percent of clothes and shoes sold in America are made elsewhere, according to Jack Plunkett of Houston-based Plunkett Research.”

Trump doesn’t manufacture anything. He sells the “Trump” brand to others who want to peddle crappy, nuevo riche lifestyle products.

1. North Korea, just yesterday. threating to attack us with nukes

2.The Iranian's with their newly acquired 150 billion dollars -can simply buy nukes now!

3. Mullah Obama has already begun flying in his preset goal of 170,000 Islamic Muslim rapefugees! How many of these 170,000 will eventually beat, rape and murder our fellow Americans. How many of these 170,000 will arrive here - and eventually pull out machine guns on us.

4. The illegal mexican horde currently here and the illegal mexican hordes always enroute here -taking millions upon millions of jobs from Americans (white, black and hispanic Americans), swarming our schools, bankrupting our hospitals, raping and murdering fellow Americans. [and all the very slimy democrat politicians welcoming them -as potential democrat voters]

I'm voting for Trump!

This is just stupid.

So his clothes are made in China. Jeepers. I would guess even amongst Freepers, the cream of the conservative crop, that less than 1% make purchases that are entirely Made in the USA.

This is a CNN article. It is trivial
This is a CNN article meant to divide republicans against republicans.

It doesn’t mention any of Trump’s real drawbacks that would unite republicans against a democrat. Like
- Trump’s support for the Kelo decision
- Trump’s belief that Planned Parenthood does good things
- Trump’s believe that “W” was responsible for 9-11

Don’t fall for the bait.

It’s going to be interesting to see the convoluted ways trumpers figure out to defend this.
