DNC Video Calls Out Trump Fashion for Not Being Made in U.S.A.

DNC Video Calls Out Trump Fashion for Not Being Made in U.S.A.

During the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia — Hillary Clinton will accept her party’s nomination for the presidency on Thursday night — the Dems decided to offer a reminder to convention-goers and at-home viewers alike that not only is Republican nominee and former reality television star Donald Trump in the fashion business — he’s also in the business of making fashion that is not made in the U.S.A.

In a Funny or Die-produced video titled “Donald Decoded: Outsourcing,” Community and The Hangover star Ken Jeong mock-admiringly reflects on footage of Trump talking about the importance of making things in the U.S. and bringing jobs back to the U.S. (a.k.a., “Make America Great Again”). Jeong gleefully studies a mannequin dressed head-to-toe in all Trump-branded garb, from shirt to tie to suit.

But Jeong’s delight quickly turns to despair when he studies the labels and learns that none of the aforementioned items were made in the U.S.

Indeed, the Donald J. Trump Collection includes suits and ties made in China and shirts made in Bangladesh. And yes, even after he claimed to have severed his relationship with Macy’s last year over his products being made in China, a practice to which he allegedly stood in opposition

And the presidential hopeful isn’t the only member of his family with a fashion line that takes jobs abroad. Daughter Ivanka also has a namesake line — for which she herself was a mannequin at last week’s Republican National Convention — which is made in China and Vietnam.

Meanwhile, Trump’s investment in fashion is not to be overlooked — literally: The campaign has spent over $200,000 producing its signature Make America Great Again hats.
