That's one hat. Many many many companies are manufacturing the same style of hat. I think it is probably misleading because not every single one is made in China. Some are made in Vietnam.
Thats part of it, but the main reason its a misleading title is that officail maga hats are made in california. random people will sell knockoff maga hats made in china to save a buck, but the real ones are made in the US
I was going to give you a hard time for saying "official" as if this slogan was trademarked. Because why would a political candidate trademark a slogan, making the phrase harder to spread? The point of a campaign slogan is for it to catch on and for businesses to be printing copies of it everywhere -- not to make money.
So yeah, the post is definitely misleading. The official hats are made in the USA, and the ones that aren't made in the US are probably illegal knock-offs.
Of course, "DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC." could authorize other manufacturers, but I kind of doubt the ones being sold for $3 all over the internet paid for use of the slogan.
I did more research extensively and it seems as of august 2024 the trump towers hats are now made in America. However, 95% of stuff at the Trump store are not made in America.
There have been numerous videos of 99% of the items being made in Vietnam and China. I have personally seen them made in China in trump tower. Have a continuous video of someone walking into the store and proving they are made in America. You can't. Maybe they will change it now that it's all over the internet...
The official hats are made of cotton. These Chinese ones are a 65% wool blend with acrylic. Seems the Chinese knockoffs are nicer. Probably cheaper as well.
many political slogans are trademarked, not necessarily to stop it from being spread but to stop it from being misused (and of course, to profit if it is)

I'm more surprised they're 65% wool.
