Chinese factory rushing to make Trump's 2020 banners in fear of tariffs

Keeping America Great by making them in China?

President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection banners are being made in haste at one Chinese flag factory as the fear of more tariffs loom.

Workers in Fuyang, China have been busy at work, leaning over sewing machine tables, hemming the edges of Trump's "Keep America Great!" banners and shipping them off. While the summer is usually the slow season at Jiahao Flag Co Ltd, the factory has packaged more than 90,000 of the iconic red, white and blue banners since March, according to Reuters.

Manager Yao Yuanyuan told the wire service that the increase is tied to the ongoing trade war with the U.S. Already, the U.S. has slapped tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods and last week, Trump signaled he could increase that to all $505 billion in goods that China imports.

"It’s closely related," Yao told Reuters. "They are preparing in advance, they are taking advantage of the fact that the tariffs haven’t gone up yet, with lower prices now."

While the banners are sold both within China and abroad, Yao said it unclear whether they are affiliated with Trump's campaign or the Republican party. Reuters reports the factory doesn't just make paraphernalia for the president but also sells American and rainbow flags.

Trump has taken a hard stance on trade, supporting U.S. made goods since he's taken office but ironically many items he's sold over the years through his multiple business ventures weren't American made, including Trump's vodka, shirts, ties, suits and eyeglasses.

Items in his clothing line, hotels, home decoration line was made in countries including China, Mexico and Bangladesh.

Great post Zippy although the link to Mr. Trump is rather tenuous.

I wouldn't ever buy that Chinese garbage.

I do buy some things made in China, but the important things, like my MAGA hats & gear, I demand only the highest American quality.

If they actually cared about their craftsmanship they wouldn't have chosen to embroider $#@!ty hats from Bangladesh.

This is a MAGA hat. Have some pride, for $#@!s sake.

Sure. Hate on the 'murican worker. The one that slaves away at an embroidery machine 16 hrs. a day so that our Military Vets can get assistance for their service while illegals just sit around and loaf. I'm beginning to see cracks in your Patriotism.

It's an insult to American craftsmanship to sell something as "Embroidered in America" and then not mention at all the fact that the hat itself was made in Bangladesh. The only reason I know that at all was because the inside tag was visible for a split second in the video.

Tell me this then, if they are such great Americans, why do they have something to hide???

[TheTexan]

When you have had to ship back as many pieces of MAGA hats as I have, for not actually being made in America, then you will understand.

I wore a borrowed MAGA hat to a party with a bunch of millennial liberals in attendance. Despite my attempt, there was no freaking out but rather lots of grudging admittance that he was doing a good job. surprised the hell out of me.

[Suzanimal]

I misread the title. I was wondering why a cheese factory was making banners.

That's a good friend to let you borrow his MAGA hat. I hope you kept it in good condition.

I'm just confused how some apparent capitalists lack understanding of the supply and demand of low cost goods?

People are conflicted. They want low priced goods but high paying jobs. You don't get both.

Are you implying that the order of banners are for Donald Trump as opposed to going on sale in Walmart or some such place?

Post an enlarged pic of the tag. Proof.

Not that I care anyway. About the hat or Trump. I just want to experience the insanity of Trump Derangement Syndrome. I have a personal lawyer on retainer and he knows several personal injury lawyers. Winning!

The great thing with lawsuits is that when you win, you win, and when you lose, you just declare bankruptcy and don't have to pay, so you still win. Learned that from Chapter 6 of Art of the Deal

That's $#@!ing awesome. So an American embroidery company got a hold of some quality hats, for cheap. That weren't affected by tariffs, because that would be illegal, and had two employees use a machine to print out thousands of hats all the while supporting Vets through paying an income "thank you." Like I said your "Patriotism" is cracking at the seam.

Bangladesh started out as socialist in '72 and by '77 the Army took over and reinstated multi party politics , a parliamentary republic , privatized business . The govt has been purged with assassinations a few times off and on to '91 which seems to have worked for them . They are the 8th most populous country with the 43rd largest GDP and you can live ok on 2k a year . They still have black panthers , fishing cats ,Bengal tigers , black bear , elephant ,lots of deer , wild boar , jungle cats , water monitors etc but the old days of hunting Peafowl or Rhino are over as they are extinct . Danke may be seen in the airports from time to time and most certainly has a cheap Bangladesh MAGA hat .

Tariffs don't make things illegal- only more expensive. But clothing is so far not on Trump's lists. So far.

[oyarde]

They drive on the left and no Peafowl hunting , otherwise I would suggest that place . If you run into trouble with the govt you can just bribe your way out .

Pretty sure if you bring something into the country for sale without paying a tariff, when a tariff is required, it is against the law. But, we are used to your silly one liners that have no bearing on fact. Thanks for playing. Go take a latte break, maybe a 15 minute meditation session, then get back to us.
