Manufacturers are already hard at work churning out banners for President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign — in China.

According to a Reuters report Wednesday, China’s Jiahao Flag Co. has produced more than 90,000 “Trump 2020: Keep America Great!” banners and flags since March, and the factory has ramped up production before Trump’s threatened tariffs against all Chinese-made goods kick on.

The banners and flags cost about $1 each to make, Reuters said, and a factory manager said Trump’s campaign suppliers appear to be trying to get their orders in before potential tariffs cause the price to rise.

The manager told Reuters that the factory has been making Trump banners ever since the days of “Make America Great Again.”

“Sales have been great ever since 2015,” she told Reuters.

Ironically, one of the Trump administration’s key messages to U.S. businesses and consumers has been to buy, and hire, American.

Probably not the right thing for me to say because there are many times I find myself nodding my head when I read your words. It's surprising to find someone like you, a fairly conservative person, to admit you probably won't vote for trump in 2020.

It's refreshing actually

My thanks, but sadly, some people just love to damn people like me beacuse I am the square peg that does not fit their round peg leftist worldview. It is always so much easier for some people to damn all under the same category of the hateful right when they don't spout the same dogma they do. One individual here has already criticized me for being a registered Independent!

I judge people on what they say here. Sometimes I find myself agreeing with a conservative. There's nothing wrong with being a square peg....some people just can't be pigeon holed.

Have a good day, Ed

Certainly will not vote for them either. I'd rather go with a third party candidate as long as it isn't Bernie Sanders. Be a cold day in Hades before I voted for him either!

Most people disrespect Sarah Sanders. She has allowed herself to lie every day in the service of trump.

"Most people disrespect Sarah Sanders."

What poll do you credit that generalization for? Pew? Gallup?  It's obvious I was referring to Bernie Sanders.

Anything product associated with Trump will get an exemption from any tariffs.

This is penny-ante compared with letting ZTE off the hook for multiple violations in order as Scumbag put it--we need to save those Chinese jobs.  He suddenly got this soft spot for China right after the Trump brand got a big payoff (I think ~$500M) for a resort deal.

Dear Friends: The Enochobile is old enough to vote.

In less than two years it will lawfully be able to purchase adult beverages at place of public accommodation.

By 2020, if my Oldsmo-Buick is still running, I am giving it my write in vote.

Enoch.

(P.S. This is a joke).

C'mon people.  Give a break here.  At least Trump isn't giving the business to Russia.  And this is proof that there 'ain't any collusion,' right?

Although somebody obviously ordered this merchandise, there’s no proof it was the Trump campaign. As even snopes recognized, merchandisers can be seeking to stock up before the price rises.
