The Donald farted in the oval office.

Media pundits, speculate he might've stained his drawers.

But President Trump soldiered on, flogging the dimbulb rethug leadership....

Trump doesn't help his own message by relying so heavily on imports for his own businesses and then telling others to buy American and manufacture in America. Some of it is not a problem of his making to be fair. There is no dress shirt or tie manufacturing in the US anymore. No men's suit making. Zero shoe manufacturing.

At the luxury end of the market you can still get suits and shoes made in the US.

The reason orange cunto doesn't do it is because he's a money-grubbing little spiv and wants to squeeze as much coin as he can out of people wanky enough to want to wear his tatty, classless shit.

I suppose they could use Hickey Freeman like Ralph Lauren does. As far as I know they are the only significant manufacturer of men's clothing left in the US. Shoes very difficult to source.

For heavens sake man do you not know how to use Google?

Useful idiots like you make wonderful cannon fodder and fertilizer.

other than flip flops nothing else is useful

^ Having a private meeting with only Putin and his interpreter is an unprecedent break with convention. Not having another American present to witness the conversation is yet another example of Trump's ignorance and naivety.

Nice internet threat Mr. Resistance.

That's very clearly in no way, shape or form meant as a threat. In fact the meaning is blatantly obvious and clear: i.e. blindly following and being used by leaders.

But fuck you snowflakes are precious. You need an Internet safe-space to hug out all your feelz!

Those are not companies with serious production capability. And no major brands are produced by these boutique shoe companies. Knowing how to use google does not mean you know anything about the reality of product sourcing. There is nothing left of the US shoe industry. Ok you can get boots and work shoes made.

You're missing the point. Most customers at the luxury end of the market actually seek bespoke tailors and cobblers.

This cheap foreign made tat is at luxury prices for chavs who foolishly think the orange cunto brand has some kind of class attached to it.

Pretty pathetic that he is to blind to see the obvious.

I thought we were talking about Trump's products? Trump's apparel business is thorough department stores like Nordstrom, Dillards and formerly Macy's not little specialty stores. He cannot source his products from bespoke tailors and cobblers.

He could but he won't, because sweat shops charge less.

Your saying the brands I mentioned manufacture in sweat shops? You obviously have not been in any of these factories. I have.

In fact most of the apparel and footwear manufactuing in the US was lost to Europe South America and Asia because they lost their competitive edge by producing inferior quality products. The most advanced machinery and skilled operators were outside the US. That's why the US lost these jobs.

Don't be daft, they lost it because American workers (rightly) won't work for 20 cents a day.

Maybe it depends on the line or brand. Because there arewell documented cases of companies outsourcing their clothing to contractors as arms length sweatshop operations and these companies know exactly what they are doing too. Nike comes to mind as a classic well documented case.

Naomi Klein documented numerous others in "No Logo". Robert Ross has an entire book "Slaves to Fashion" that documents this phenomenon as well.

You're full of shit Harry. The reality is that in the eighties factories in S. Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong geared up with state of the art knitting, cutting and sewing machinery that totally outclassed the work being done in the US. Labor costs were only a part of it.
