    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

    Trump's 'Made In America' Week Is Already Backfiring Spectacularly
    The president and his family have relied heavily on foreign manufacturing.

    President Donald Trump is set to declare this week “Made In America” week*to help promote products manufactured in the United States, according to The Hill.*

    But he’s already coming under fire for the move, given that Trump-branded products are often manufactured overseas.

    Many of Trump’s clothing items have been made in Mexico and China. During the campaign last year, his use of*steel and aluminum from China*became a campaign issue.

    And just last week, The Washington Post reported on the fashion line of first daughter and White House aide Ivanka Trump, finding that much of it is*made by low-wage workers in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and China.

    White House spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferre was asked on Sunday if the president would use “Made in America” week to push his daughter to make those products in the United States.*

    “We’ll get back to you on that,” she said, according to Politico.

    Critics on social media aren’t waiting for the response. They blasted Trump and his family for not practicing what they preach.

    He knows .. he's just playing his supporters for the spectacular chumps they are again.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    It depends on what it is. I restore cars as a hobby and found that Chinese made parts are shit at least half the time. So if you figure the cost of time and labor to install/ remove/ reinstall the cost of a made in USA part is far less.

    There are going to be exceptions but, in the main, people seem to really like cheap shit.

    It's awfully tempting, true. That's why I have so much experience with the shit failing.

    :0) You should hurry to delete that 'biography' my friend.

    One's head would explode trying to reconcile that biography with your comments. :0) At least post that shit in green so you can claim you were joking.
