trump is really putting his money where his mouth is, creating jobs for american workers wherever it's within his power. great to see him use his incredible wealth to help out the american working class...

They're being manufactured for a transient political campaign so it would not be a sustainable creator of jobs. It's more like one-off project work that you'd enter a tender process for and give the contract to the company that provides the best product for the best price.

the idea being pushed that Trump is pro China is pretty hilarious.

making "this" one of the major political policies to debate during election, is probably the best gift to the Trump campaign yet.

this is less about him being 'pro china', and more about the discrepancy between his anti china rhetoric, while at the same time having so much of his crap (not just his campaign stuff) produced there, and in other cheap labour countries, like mexico.

of course his cult will never hold him accountable for his double standards, will claim that it's actually the democrats' fault, or that pointing that out is somehow a gift to his campaign, but i think it's still worth reminding those that did not go full ret... of what a conman he is.

for someone who claims to be so incredibly wealthy, it should be easy to pay americans a decent wage to make his "keep america great" banners - especially after constantly complaining how the evil chinese are trying to destroy the american economy. really a strange move for a billionaire patriot president that... i mean, obviously the irony is completely lost on you, but people capable of critical thinking might find it as amusing as i did.

from the article i linked:

Quote
Her factory has been making Trump banners since the time his tag line as a candidate was “Make America Great Again”, highlighting an irony of his hardline on trade with China.

“Sales have been great ever since 2015,” she said.
