Jimmy Kimmel went on a late-night shopping spree on Donald Trump's family website, TrumpStore.com, but he didn't do it to financially support POTUS.
Despite his wife telling him not to order a damn thing from the store -- which is run by Eric and Donald Jr. -- the late-night host didn't listen and instead dropped some serious cash on items like a gold coin bank, Trump hat, coffee mug, gold club cover and even a shoe bag.
Unboxing his order on television, Kimmel went searching for the "Made In" label on each item. With the exception of the mug, which was made in Thailand, and a "toddler bib just like the one the president wears when he eats cheeseburgers," which came from Peru, most of the swag was made in China.
He then pointed out how a couple of the items had no country of origin listed, which Kimmel noted, "I think is illegal." He then pulled up a screen shot from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website, which confirmed that "failure to properly report origin can result in substantial penalties."

(12,882 posts)His worshipers don't give a rodent's rump where such things are made - don't care what color, age or gender the makers are, or what the conditions of employment or environmental impacts are, or how unfair wages might - or ANY of that! A person has to be able to think - and that has them out of the race before the starting gun's shot.

I would have bet he would never be any more than a douche for life... Kinda like his former partner Adam Carrola is

(19,199 posts)"do as I say, not as I do" CONservative. Hypocrites of the first order. It doesn't matter to the deplorables though. They won't get the connection with them not having a good paying job anymore.

(981 posts)but goods made in the U.S.A. do not have to be labeled. Now, if you can prove they weren't made in the US and have no label, then you have a case.
