"Donald Trump's Golf Course Is Empty; Nothing Made In U.S."

It just highlights how deeply Obama let China hurt us.

He even gave them hegemony over the South China Sea because he thought Chinese sailor boys were “cute”.

From the time President Obama assumed office in 2009 to the present, positive U.S.-China relations have been vital to the two countries and to the world at large. As Obama himself has said, “The relationship between the United States and China is the most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century.” Forty-four years after establishing diplomatic relations, the world’s two greatest economic powers have forged unprecedentedly close ties. Unsurprisingly, the current relationship reflects varying degrees of cooperation as well as competition.

Obama was an "Apologist". He felt the US needed to apologize for everything the US stood for. He wanted China to be our ally - which in reality would never happen. I wouldn't even doubt that he kissed up to North Korea, as well.

If you mean by "not on whole" all the manufacturing jobs, I agree with you. But I still believe that a lot of lost manufacturing jobs could be brought back and survive in the US of A.

Some fraction may come back, but I don't think it would be a lot. Still cheaper to manufacture in India or Mexico or a half dozen other places.

What a total load of complete fake news BS.

I've played Trump National on Palos Verdes multiple times. Nobody plays there? What a total lie. It's beautiful, and has spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island.

Be less stupid? Yeah, don't buy this fake news from this John Hotchkiss moron.


This folks is what liberal progressive, alt-left FAKE NEWS looks like.


What a total fail.


Here's a real picture, rather than the nonsense produced for the terminally gullible.

Trump National.jpg
 
Trump is a master merchandiser. He's merchandises everything from his name to socks. I can attest to some of that having paid a little visit to Trump Tower in the Spring of 2016. Walking up Fifth Ave., (never saw anyone shot there either), I had to pee so Trump Tower was in walking distance and there's really not many places to relieve yourself on Fifth Avenue. So, Trump Tower it was. The bathroom was old, dark and grungy, something you'd expect in Walmart's public restroom.

I had to pass the little Trump merchandise store on my way down the hall to the bathroom. I didn't want to go in but they conveniently set up a little table out in the hall loaded up with Trump 'stuff'. Little bars of solid chocolate wrapped in a shiny gold paper embossed with the name 'Trump' on the paper. There was all sorts of merchandise, apparel, headwear, gifts and of course the chocolates. Everything had one thing in common, each item had the Trump name on it. We left after relieving ourselves and headed to Central Park to relax and get that 'icky' experience out of our minds.

There's one thought that I had about Trump that day.....

I want, when Trump declares "Buy American", for companies bearing his namesake not to pretend that the declaration doesn't apply to them. But reality is tough to ignore. I KNOW that Trump is talking out of his ass to begin with, and I KNOW his cult followers can't stand up to his hypocrisy.

So the items being discussed, are they available from American manufacturers?

Of course. I’d be willing to bet if he did there’d be a lot of people here shrieking about him managing his businesses while President, too.

Yeah, he's so persecuted. Poor him.

So basically, you have no problem with this because if meanie liberals? That is so pathetic I can't put it into words.

Wait, is something wrong with him doing that now? Is that what you're admitting, finally?

Hey, thanks for answering for me! Completely dishonest of you, but sadly, not unexpected.

I have no problem with it because I don’t care what Trump puts in a golf course I’m never going to patronize. I don’t care because it’s a complete non-issue. He’s a public figure, so criticize and persecute all you like.

Thats a good point but i have to admit i thought it was kind of bizarre that they sell china made maga stuff outside of his rallies. It was outside so im not sure if it was offical gear but it seemed like it was.

I think he could of sold the same hats for a few bucks more and kept them american made.

He makes policy, he is supposed to be leading by example, and he he is a Hypocrite, yet you see no problem with that? Don't reply, just think about it instead and come to a conclusion if you just may be being Played.
 
Can the whataboutism.
Obama and Hillary are not President.

By the way, whataboutism is a RUSSIAN debate tactic.
Congratulations.

Nope; as far as I know, no American brand-name company related to golf produces apparel in the US of A.

If you bothered to watch the video there was more than one that produces golf apparel in the USA. Even a company that produces golf clubs from Texas I believe. Really funny was all the cigars were from South America and none from Miami where they are hand made with American tobacco. America first baby! LoL!

A perfect opportunity to raise any of those companies in status by signing an exclusive deal; that would have helped an American company by promoting US made products. I guess brand name shirts matter more than helping US workers?

Yep. Like the saying goes, "You can fool some of the people all of the time...", and no surprise it's the Evangelicals and Fundamentalists.

Does anyone with even 1/2 a brain really think Trump is going to put US workers ahead of his own profits?

How difficult is it to understand? Quite.

You see many examples of golf gear made in the U.S. but you keep throwing up some strawman about "American brand-name company" as an excuse for the Trump's not to buy American-Made.

First of all, you do not define "brand-name", which you need to do since you're arbitrarily excluding all companies such as Gaulf. Gaulf is a brand.

Secondly, what does "brand-name" have to do with anything? Trump is all about branding. If the Trumps were committed to buying American, then they wouldn't need the output to come from an already established brand. They could elevate the American manufacturers to whatever status they need to be to meet whatever your definition of "brand-name" is.


It is sufficient that golf apparel is made in America. The Trumps CHOOSE not to buy American.

Who are you trying to kid?

How about an APB to his businesses, you know, like a frickin EXECUTIVE ORDER you know, something like, "hey kids, no hire the brown people without docs, might make us look bad" ?

it might take, what, like 10 minutes?

Give me a frickin' break.

No we want him to keep selling Chinese goods with his name on them so we can pile them up and burn them after he loses in 2020. :lol:

So they are selling brand named clothing from china in Trump golf courses?

Or is the brand name "Trump' ( manufactured in China ) ?

Just curious. If it is only Trump brand name, then your point is moot.

Just to be fair to Trump, I did see Titleist golf balls for sale, and that is to be expected, noting they are American made.

What else?
