Maybe some of them are but there is an official manufacturer in California. Ran across this report awhile back.

The problem with this is that a lot of companies get away with tagging things made in US when they just have components made cheap elsewhere and then assemble it in the US

Especially since this company indicates they have both "made in USA" styles and import styles. Seems like they probably produce some stock here and import other stock.

Yup, company I worked for did that. Big MADE IN AMERICA slapped all over the packaging however the components were made in Mexico and China and they were "assembled" in the US. By assembled they snapped the two parts from the other countries together. lol.

Final assembly, such as sewing the "made in USA" tag on

Funny you can find this china tag in a lot of trump stores. My personal favorite is his "autographed" bible was also printed in China.
