    Manufacturers are already hard at work churning out banners for President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign — in China.

    According to a Reuters report Wednesday, China’s Jiahao Flag Co. has produced more than 90,000 “Trump 2020: Keep America Great!” banners and flags since March, and the factory has ramped up production before Trump’s threatened tariffs against all Chinese-made goods kick on.

    The banners and flags cost about $1 each to make, Reuters said, and a factory manager said Trump’s campaign suppliers appear to be trying to get their orders in before potential tariffs cause the price to rise.

    The manager told Reuters that the factory has been making Trump banners ever since the days of “Make America Great Again.”

    “Sales have been great ever since 2015,” she told Reuters.

    Ironically, one of the Trump administration’s key messages to U.S. businesses and consumers has been to buy, and hire, American.

    Not this stupidity again. You do realize that China makes anything that they can sell over here, right?

    Now, if you have proof that the Trump campaign has sourced these from China for use in its campaign - that is a different story. But if some Chinese company is trying to make a quick buck because it found a market, well how is that the Trump campaign's fault?

    Can't tell you how many knock offs of items I see on Ebay from China that weren't authorized by the entity owning the rights.

    Of course. That is why his foot is dragging...It's from all the extra weight caused by the lead in the Chinese-made hair.
