Donald Trump rails against the impending threat of Chinese economic domination in this hilarious 2012 interview with David Letterman, in which it is revealed that Trump uses cheap Chinese labor to make his ties, and has his shirts made in Bangladesh. It may be a moot point now, but his main outlet at the time, was Macy’s.
It’s well worth revisiting the interview in which Trump was peddling his shirts, ties and Mitt Romney, whom he was endorsing for president that time around. It is priceless irony when Dave asks The Donald where the ties are made. Trump answers ” I don’t know, they’re made somewhere.” Indeed, they are made ‘somewhere’ like China! It’s not exactly clear just how Trump would go about boosting our economy while impeding that great Chinese takeover that he constantly raving on about. One thing he has never mentioned, is offering disincentives to clothing manufacturers who manufacture clothing outside of the U.S.A..
