Now that the whole Obama birth certificate thing is a non-starter, intumescent f*ckface Donald Trump has to find new stuff to shout angrily into a microphone about, and it appears as though he has chosen China — specifically how Obama is allowing China to steal all of our jobs, etc. — as the focus of his bloviations.
Just yesterday — after he touched down in New Hampshire in a black helicopter with his name emblazoned on it and blathered endlessly about how proud he was of his birther sleuthing — the reptilian GOP wet dream of the moment, who is also leading a crusade via Youtube to have a Geico ad he doesn’t like taken off the air, proclaimed, “China is raping this country.”
In a recent CNN interview, he sounded the same theme: “When it comes to manufacturing, China is making all these products. They could be made in North Carolina. They could be made in Alabama. They could be made in lots of our places and right now they’re not.”
Someone should tell him that lots of the very crap he slaps his stupid name on, like the shirt shown above, is actually made in China.
Reports Salon’s Justin Elliot:
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.
All of which makes it a little strange that Trump’s own brand of clothing is made in China.
The phone number listed on Trump’s website for the Signature Collection goes to the “licensing coordinator” at the Trump Organization, Amy Steinfeldt. She did not immediately return a call.
And here’s the reality TV dildo — whose ratings are suddenly in the shitter — braying about China in the aforementioned recent CNN interview:
About midway through it, Trump remarks that the Chinese “think we’re the dumbest son-of-a-bitches in the world.” With Donald Trump as the leading contender for the 2012 GOP nomination right now, it’s easy to understand why.
