Amid Tariffs, Chinese Factory Starts Production On Trump Campaign Flags
Source: TPM
As President Donald Trump levies tariffs and threats against China for stealing American jobs, a Chinese factory says its been hired to manufacture flags for Trumps 2020 campaign, according to a Tuesday episode of NPRs Indicator podcast.
Factory owner Li Jiang told NPR that his workers are producing hundreds of thousands of blue and white Trump flags similar to those they manufactured for his 2016 campaign. Per NPR, the Trump campaign ordered so many more flags than the Clinton campaign in 2016 that Chinese locals near the factory joked that they knew the outcome of the election before anyone.
Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., the committee organizing Trumps reelect run, has publicly committed to buying American, saying that we put America First and take great pride in selling 100% Made in the USA products to our supporters throughout the country. It is unclear if the committee was the body that entered into the contract with the Chinese factory.
Jiang told NPR he was unconcerned about the possibility that his flags could be a casualty of the escalating American-Chinese trade conflict.

(6,881 posts)Weird how these little micro-news stories play a bigger part in the public mind than the real story, all-out trade wars with the rest of the world. For Trump they ARE the story. Like NK nuclear summit, photo-op handshake, thumbs up, tweet, go home. In Trumplandia a major fail.
