President Trump delivers opening remarks to celebrate Made in The USA manufacturing week, a presidential initiative.
Many of you might remember the origin of this hat. – DECEMBER 2016 – The first-edition Texas cattleman’s style Trump cowboy hat made by the American Hat Company in Texas.
During the first day of Trump’s ‘Made in America’ initiative he tried one on.
We figured sooner or later this was going to happen. For three decades both Republicans and Democrats, the professional UniParty lobbyist benefactors, have sold-out America’s middle class wealth to multinational corporations and multinational banks.
All U.S. trade policy, especially the policies of Democrat politicians, have been determined by purchased interests by multinational corporations via DC lobbying expenditures. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is one of those multinational special interest groups. It is not even debatable that this approach has taken place for decades under the UniParty flag.
The U.S. CoC actually wrote most of the globalist TPP trade agreement verbiage; and along with dozens of multinational organizations – the U.S. CoC pays off politicians of all stripes, colors and affiliated definitions to support the global financial agenda. ONLY TRUMP is independent enough to finally stop this economic usurpation.

A strange and sketchy story out of Minnesota as a 40-year-old Australian woman named Justine Damond called police for a disturbance behind her home. She met the police around 11:30pm in her pajamas. While talking to the two responding officers one of them, Mohamed Noor, a 31-year-old officer from Somalia, shot and killed her. Details sketchy.
(New York Post) […] Three sources with knowledge of the incident said that when they arrived, the officers pulled around back and were immediately confronted by Damond, who was in her pajamas.
As she attempted to speak to the cop in the driver’s seat, the other officer apparently unholstered his gun and started blasting — striking her through the driver’s-side door, the sources said.
Gen-Z political agitprop. A funny counter message to THIS.
The White House is unveiling a renewed focus on products ‘Made in America‘. Understandably those who oppose the overall America-First agenda immediately react to the effort by pointing out many of the Trump branded products are made overseas. However, many of those detractors miss the larger issue, while simultaneously their antagonistic efforts actually help the messaging campaign.
The larger America-First economic platform, and the ancillary ‘Made-in-America’ message, are targeted toward economic policy; the bigger picture. The goal is to make national policy reflect a “better option” for companies and manufacturers to produce products in the United States.
As long as the best business model for any company is to outsource manufacturing, that will be the outcome. The America-First policy objective is to change the underlying policy which in turn changes the business model for companies; making American product manufacturing the more cost effective approach.
The key economic message is always within the “why”? Why do companies make U.S. market products overseas? Focus policy on the why, and natural fair market economics will self-correct.
Often those discussing jobs and manufacturing argue the driver of production is “cheap labor”. However, those making that argument also cite increased “automation” in manufacturing. These two arguments are mutually exclusive. If modern manufacturing is now heavily automated the ‘cheap labor’ argument holds far less merit.
Today, President Donald J. Trump will host companies from across the country at the White House for the Made in America Product Showcase.
The White House is highlighting and celebrating each state’s effort and commitment to American made products by bringing in and showing off products from all 50 states that are made and produced in the United States.

President Trump created a stir amid his political opposition when he was reported to have told French first-lady Brigitte Macron: “you’re in such great shape“. Apparently, according to the ever-pliable rules of the virtue signaling political left, it is “sexist” to compliment a woman on her physical appearance.
Of course it didn’t take more than a news cycle for yet another corporate entity to jump head-first into the opportunity to attach their own brand-image to anti-Trumpism. [Adidas is the parent company of Reebok] The hypocrisy behind this opportunistic marketing endeavor/virtue-signaling is stunning. Here’s the tweet from Reebok:
As you can see, Adidas/Reebok have made a political decision. Virtue signaling your superiority in defining what is/isn’t appropriate is never a good look.
You would think the loss of brand value for companies who previously did this (Macys, Starbucks etc) would be enough to stop any reasonable corporate marketing head with a fiduciary responsibility. Alas, the allure of scoring cheap political points finds another victim.
However, when contrast against the actual marketing image of Reebok, the outcome is even worse. (more…)
