Trump's merchandise lines are manufactured where?

Don't know if this has been discussed here, but I just found two interesting articles:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/17/made-in-america-week-donald-trump-businesses

which states that T clothing is made, among other places, "in Bangladesh, Honduras and Vietnam. And China."

and that Ivanka's clothing is made in "Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam"

then there's

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-made-in-america_us_596f9be6e4b01696c6a24918

which states that T's suits are made in Mexico and, reportedly, Indonesia.

There are several other articles, including one from the Washington Post.

Fascinating reading. Does that mean that T wants people from some countries to stay home so they can make stuff for him to sell?

Doesn't matter to his base. Cuz, you know, the emails!

Still think the fact his/her "brands" are not made in the USA, should have warranted more attention, especially during the debates.
