Trump Hats and Flags Held Up at Customs

July 20, 2018 at 6:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Business Insider: “Trump-themed flags and hats made in China are reportedly being held up at US customs amid an intensifying trade war.”

“Textile suppliers who export their goods to the US told China’s state-run tabloid Global Times their products have been delayed at US customs, which is affecting their sales.”

First off the length of most of his jackets are way too long, and he wears a pretty long sleeve. This is why he wears long ties to match the absurd length of his jacket. The idea of the entire approach is to make the suit more slimming. The problem with that is it makes his hands look small and his legs short.

I don't know why he has started wearing wide pants.

Bring their businesses back to US aand give jobs to Americans!

Why isnt this more of an issue. The POTUS of the US and his daughter produce clothes that are made in China.
Why is this acceptable?

I’m a cap collector, all my lids are the classic vintage-style (fitted, athletic-wool construction, green undervisor) obtained from Ebbets Field Flannels in Seattle over 29 years (!). Thai’s the set-up.

But now, every time I’m out in public, whenever I see someone in a red cap, I check to see if it’s a crummy 45 MAGA snap-back job. (I’m in Southern California, so they are blessedly rare.)

So I don’t wear my offbeat red caps, from the 1955 Seattle Raniers to the 1950 Juarez Indios. I NEVER want to be mistaken for one of 45’s Republican Zombie followers.
