Where Are Trump Hats And Other Apparel Made?

[SaxonJackson]

Trump's ball caps were being discussed a little bit in another thread. It got me wondering where they were made and how much they sell for. That actual, official "Make America Great Again" hat is made in the USA with "mostly" American sourced materials. They're made by "Latinos" in southern California. I'm pretty sure I know what THAT means. It's likely one of the few businesses that ICE will NOT target. But that's another story for another time.

Much of Trump's other apparel is made in China. Ironic.

"When we first got the order [for Trump's caps], I said to myself, 'Just wait until he sees who's making his hats,'" Yolanda Melendrez, who works at the Cali-Fame factory, told the L.A. Times. "'We're Latinos, we're Mexicans, Salvadoreños.'" Melendrez is a Mexican immigrant who was brought to this country by her parents when she was a baby."

At least he can claim these hats are being made in the good ol' U-S-of-A.

A good amount of other Trump products are literally made overseas and much of it is made in China. Is Trump really profiting off of Chinese sweat shops?:

No response to Trump's hypocrisy? All you can offer is a picture of your girlfriend?

I think this will be a "let's pretend it's not happening" thread. Or a "hey, look, the down has its pants down" tread.

The vast majority of clothing (apparel) sold and consumed in the United States is imported, with domestic production accounting for only a very small share.Recent estimates (from industry analyses and reports around 2024–2025) indicate that approximately 97–98% of clothing sold in the U.S. is imported, meaning 2–3% is made domestically.

This reflects long-term trends driven by globalization, lower labor costs overseas, and offshoring since the 1990s–2000s (when domestic production was much higher, e.g., 95% in the 1950s–1960s).


For hats (and headwear), the situation is similar—highly import-dependent. The U.S. imported about $2.1 billion in hats and

It's the same knee-jerk reaction the Neocons offer towards ANY thread that reveals the real Donald Trump. These folks stumble through life with their eye wide shut.

Why do I need to respond to it? I know it exists in different areas. I certainly feel no need to apologize for him or for the fact that I voted for him.

If that was my girlfriend, at least I'd have one.

Yaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnnn

Like I could care that anyone cares to look up where they are made.

I'll never be wearing one. I've said before, I don't like the term....it's nothing more than a sales pitch.

Pretend it isn't happening? Yeah.....or couldn't care less that it's happening.

I do worry about the OP though.

Seems a bit deranged.

What hypocrisy?

Your article clearly says his stuff is made in the USA. Southern California to be exact.

You have not pointed out any hypocrisy.

Seriously, dude, aim higher.

That's asking a lot around here.

And nothing is "seriously".

Yep, sounds like Trump supports creating jobs for the needy, hiring multicultural industry and international commerce.

Oh the horror, now I just wanna bet you're ready to jump off a bridge because Trump gives jobs to the poor and middle class and trades with other countries?

It's the same knee-jerk reaction the Neocons offer towards ANY thread that reveals the real Donald Trump. These folks stumble through life with their eye wide shut.

And I think a lot of people do, they want to be told what to think. They merely come on here to reinforce the "fact" that they're a genius. They talk to the people with the same "views" and pat each other on the back about how smart they all are, and they attack those with views they don't get or aren't told to think, and laugh about how stupid those people are.

Then when you say "hey, what's a Communist?" They'll be like "I don't need to prove it, I know" or "It's obvious" or "I said this before in some post I'm not going to tell you".

And they've somehow thought they wormed out of it with their reputation intact.

You are pushing old news

Early in trump’s first term the official MAGA caps were imported from china and that was very embarrassing

But now they are made in America

We should not import any clothing made in china

But that cant happen overnight

And it will never happen at all if your side has its way

If my side had it's way, we'd put America First. But you Neocons keep sending our tax dollars (under the pretense of "foreign aid") to your needy little blood-suckers, abroad (Ukraine, Israel, etc.).

America First. America Only. Charity to others under emergency circumstances -- ONLY.
