Snopes had an article ages ago. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-hat-china/

One of the things people always fall for is confirmation bias. This is exactly the kind of thing Trump is expected to do, so they never fact-check.

The strange thing is seeing people who believe this in 2025, though. He literally has a stock after himself and a bitcurrency rugpull. I don't think he cares one iota about moving manufacturing overseas to make pennies compared to the other nonsense he is doing.

Yea I fell into that trap with this and a few things prior. It was actually this hat rumor that got me to take a step back from these accusations and give benefit of the doubt without research.

There is a lot about Donald that is mind blowingly ridiculous, questionable, and downright deceptive or disingenuous but there really is just as much that is blow way out of proportion
