WHOOPS! China-bashing Donald Trump's clothing line MADE IN CHINA!

[FarLeftFist]

Donald Trump has emerged in recent years as the nation's foremost China basher, going after the Asian superpower for undervaluing its currency and for taking American manufacturing and jobs. So it's at least ironic -- and at most an example of gross hypocrisy -- that Trump's own line of men's wear, the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, is manufactured in China.

I discovered this after walking from Salon's offices to the large Macy's in midtown Manhattan, where an entire section is devoted to the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection of suits and ties. This particular corner of the store is decorated with an oversize portrait of Trump; the line promises to provide "the pinnacle of style and sophistication" and "the necessities to be boardroom ready all of the time."

Yes, that says "MADE IN CHINA." (That pink dress shirt retails, by the way, for $69.50.) Other pieces were made in Mexico and in Bangladesh.

Now, Trump has long complained about Chinese currency "manipulation" and has called for a large tariff on imports of products from China in order to bolster U.S. manufacturing. But he has also gone further, urging Americans to buy fewer products from China, claiming that Chinese goods are shoddy and maintaining that, in his own business dealings, he favors American manufacturing over Chinese manufacturing.

6. Have you seen the racist, China bashing tea party ad...

...where the Chinese guy is talking to a room full of Chinese college students about how the United States spending itself into working for China, and then them evilly laughing at it? I'm not sure who gathered a room full of self hating Asian people, but I find it weirdly disturbing.

10. I remember reading about the filming of that ad actually

on edit: to summarize, basically the asian extras weren't told what the ad was about other that it was a "non-partisan" ad and that they just needed video of students listening. they didn't even know until they got there that it was going to be a room full of other asian students.
