A White House spokesperson was touting Trump’s upcoming “Made In America” week, but when a reporter asked about Ivanka Trump’s made overseas clothing line, the White House clammed up and said, “We’ll get back to you on that.”
The report from the White House Press Pool as provided to PoliticusUSA:
Spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferre was asked whether the president would use “Made in America†week to push Ivanka Trump’s clothing line to produce products in America, rather than overseas. “We’ll get back to you on that,†she said.
It impossible for a president who makes his own products overseas, and whose family businesses also make their products overseas to be taken seriously as he is supposedly promoting made in America week, unless they mean made in America for everybody but the Trumps.

Trump is setting himself up for ridicule on a daily basis. This president lacks any sense of decency and self-awareness. Made In America week is already a total disaster because Donald Trump doesn’t expect people to point out that he and his kids don’t actually make their products in America.
