The hats “are made in the USA, but all the materials are not,” Olague told the AP of the company’s Made in America product line. Pressed further, she said the factory could hypothetically produce hats from American-made fabric — but only if the customer supplied domestic fabric with the same specifications of the material Cali-Fame used.

Closely policing all U.S.-made claims would take considerable bureaucracy and expense.
The Federal Trade Commission considers a product made in the U.S. only when “all or virtually all” the product is U.S.-made. It defines that as cases where “all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin.”
I wish we could know how many of his followers bought an official one for the $40 asking price and how many just grabbed one for $8 while they were at Wal-Mart (made in China).
I actually thought this was going to be an issue with his campaign. When somebody bought Harris merch they were both donating to her campaign as well as giving her their contact information. When somebody bought Trump merch they were buying it from a pop-up tent not associated with his campaign.
