Aren't Trump's MAGA hats made in China?

WASHINGTON/BEIJING—President Donald Trump on Aug. 23 said he has ordered American companies to exit China after Beijing unveiled retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion of U.S. goods, throwing a new twist into the bitter trade war between the world’s two largest economies.

The president was meeting with his trade team at midday, a senior White House official told Reuters.

“We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP,” Trump tweeted.

“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”

the insane MF45 only ordered "GREAT American companies" to get out of China.

Shitty companies like his and Ivanka's will continue to make their crap in China.

Could be trump’s answer to replace china’s Cheap child labor. He has thousands of slaves in his friends for profit prisons waiting for taxpayer money to turn them into factories whose wealthy companies can have all their products made with child/women slave labor.

Since they're political merch they're very likely made here. The only other rule Republicans have about that is that they can't be union made.

I doubt that they are selling a whole lot of new ones, except to the few who have worn theirs out.

At least here, in small town Iowa, I don't see them anymore. I suspect that people don't like the reaction the get when they wear them.

I used to think Falun Gong was harmless -- but recently Rachel reported on their rise to influence politics in the US.

OTT, from what I've seen reported on Trump lately, he has declared dictatorial powers for himself. He must be stopped.
