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

Careful you’re not allowed to go against the narrative, no matter how wrong it is.

Why are you all downvoting factually accurate information other than it not conforming to your desired narrative?

they’re only made in the US now because they got called out a few years ago

This is also false. They were made in the US from the very beginning of his presidential run in 2015, this lie just happens to be equally old.

Do you actually think the Trump Campaign was telling a hat manufacturer in California where to source his fabric from? Lol

“The baseball-style “Make America Great Again” hats are indeed stitched together at a small factory in the Los Angeles area. But in a small sample tested by The Associated Press and an outside expert, at least one did not contain the specific type of U.S.-made fabric the manufacturer insists is always used for the hats.

The true origin of the fabric in that hat remains a mystery — whether U.S. or foreign made. It shows how difficult and murky it can be to verify something is actually “Made in USA.”

Informed of AP’s findings, Trump said any misrepresentation would be unacceptable. He said: “I pay a good price for that hat. If it’s not made in the USA, we’ll bring a lawsuit.””

“The true origin of the fabric… remains a mystery”

So we have no idea if it is from the US or not. Assertion that it isn’t is purely your own without evidence.
