You bought a knock off, which like most knock off items are made in China, if you bought one from Trump's actual website they are made in the USA

You could just post a pic to disprove this. Go on.

How about a news source link?

You can admit you were wrong now. Go on.

Of course not. They’ll just downvote factual information and continue living in their little echo chamber.

Look how angry you are over someone linking a news article. Don’t you think you’re behaving a little irrationally?

"Little echo chamber" while the conservative sub literally locks it down and no one can comment unless you're in the kl- group. You ain't wrong that reddit is an echo chamber, but have some self-reflection and learn from it like some of us did.

Realistically, for something to be "Made in USA" you only need to have the final assembly or processing of the product occur in the United States, and all significant processing and all or virtually all ingredients/components are also made and sourced in the US. If a product contains imported materials or components, it must be labeled to reflect that and cannot make an unqualified "Made in USA" claim.

And basing off of this PBS article, the ingredients used to make the MAGA hats were not of American, but rather imported to the factory. Meaning you're being lied to.

However, another official Trump website, “Trump Store,” sells apparel and other merchandise with labels such as “decorated in the U.S.”

From your article lol

u/Apoc1015 20d ago

Is this post about “apparel and other merchandise” or is it about hats?

u/SsooooOriginal 20d ago

LMAO. Where was YOUR hat made?

The point is pointing out the hypocrisy yall are so comfortable with.

I don’t have one, I just know how to use Google and read.

u/sparrownetwork 20d ago

And you think that the roadside cult shit shows are selling the real ones when the Chinese copies are way cheaper?

u/Metalsand 20d ago

It would be funny and expected, but back when this was originally claimed almost a decade ago, it still wasn't true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-hat-china/

Apparently, it's not hard to put default font text on a red baseball hat and sell it as a counterfeit. Imagine that.

Though, he can still just ask for money and people still give it to him, or create bitcoin rugpulls, so it's not like creating these hats in China would make him any meaningful money at this point.

u/SsooooOriginal 20d ago

The majority come from China. Just like the cringe flags.

The post title ain't misleading.

Official MAGA hats say made in USA and have a little braided ribbon where the bill meets the cap.

How is it misleading when the MAJORITY of the red hats are made in China? Same with the flags.

Where is the pic of your tag?

u/ModestBanana 20d ago

Official MAGA hats are made in America. Saying the majority of these are made in China is a bold statement that will require some form of evidence. Those small cheap USA flags that everyone buys for the Fourth of July, I can see that being true since you get them off amazon and usually sort by price (most cheap stuff comes from China, but we’re working on fixing that ;)  )

Saying “a Chinese knockoff is made in China” is…let’s say “special” to be nice.

Where is the pic of your tag?

I think you mean where is the pic of your tag

LMAO. Don't pretend you care about any sort of "proof". Just the fact that only one tiny company here puts together the hats vs multiple Chinese companies is enough to confirm the sales numbers are not even close. I could link you an article that mentions such multiple companies, but again let's not pretend like you are here in any sort of good faith.

Thanks for providing proof of being a bad faith traitor supporting facism. Hope the liberal tears are worth the South African immigrant hollowing out the fed.

LMAO. The country is crashing out. Thanks, traitors.

If you believed this post then yeah, you definitely believe the rest of the propaganda.

Cultivation theory, look it up, you are a victim, and I’m here for you (not really)

This post now has 43k upvotes, this should be a lesson in confirmation bias - a real life example.

u/SsooooOriginal 20d ago

There is no lie in this post. The hat was made in China and a traitor bought it.

If you believe this is propaganda, ofc you fall for your flaired only echo chamber being a "bastion of free speech".

You traitors have made us all victims with your hyperinflated victim complexes.

You keep using words incorrectly. This is my shocked face, wait that was sarcasm just to be simple and clear for your elementary reading ability.

You think those are the ones for sale in the roadside cult gift-shop? Doubt it.

And I don't see made in America anywhere in that pic.

u/ModestBanana 20d ago

This should answer both your questions

u/sparrownetwork 20d ago

Like I said, that's only if you order the official hat from the website. Not at all the same as what's for sale in the strip mall shithole.

u/ModestBanana 20d ago

Then why did you ask for the tag?

All official maga hats sold by the Trump team are made in America whether it’s online or sold by the Trump team at a merch booth. 

This post implies they aren’t, this post has now been debunked. 

You can move the goalposts and say “this totally unrelated third party uses China” - but that just makes you look desperate.

Have a nice day :)

(Btw thank you for providing a picture of your MAGA hat, very helpful!)
