How many Trump products were made overseas? Here’s the complete list.
By Michelle Ye Hee Lee August 26, 2016

We searched for sources of Trump products through publicly available data, including online retail stores and public data of shipments at U.S. ports from 2007 through Aug. 17, 2016, gathered by the private company ImportGenius.com. The data shows the last port of shipment before entering the United States (meaning Mexico is not included) and specifies the manufactured location for certain items. (Thanks to Kim Soffen, graphics reporter at The Washington Post, who worked with us to analyze the imports database. Check out her analysis of a decade of Trump’s imports.)

As our inventory shows, manufacturing is a global process. Components of a product of an American company are made in different parts of the world, depending on who offers the most competitive prices, and ultimately imported into the country to be sold to American consumers. It’s not as simple as deciding not to eat an Oreo because Nabisco found a cheaper place to employ some of its workers.
Trump’s practice as a businessman is not consistent with his current rhetoric against trade as a presidential nominee — this vulnerability is backed with more than enough factual evidence. If Trump brand customers took the same stance against his products as he did against Nabisco, it is clear they would be left with few Trump items to buy. However, we do know of at least four Trump products made in the United States: “Make America Great Again” hats, bedding, water and cologne.

So, how is that relevant to me wanting those jobs back for the American Middle Class, pinhead?
87% of lost manufacturing jobs were automated. They are never coming back. Not ever.
Jobs in Mexico and China are being automated. The few jobs that went to those places are never coming back.
In the last couple of decades, manufacturing has doubled in this country as millions of workers have been laid off. They were laid off because their jobs were taken over by automation. Our economy isn't based on bedding and cologne. The high end goods that make the foundation of the economy aren't based on frills and crap bearing the Trump brand.
