Trump dubs Biden's agenda as 'Made in China', Internet asks POTUS 'where is MAGA gear made?'
President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden are both focusing their campaign in Michigan to capture the battleground’s votes. POTUS delivered a speech on Thursday (September 10) night outside of an airport hanger in Freeland, where he talked in length about the state’s achievement paired with the criticism of the Democrats.
On September 11, Trump took to Twitter to announce that he has taken the "toughest-ever action to stand up to China’s rampant theft of Michigan jobs" before mocking Biden’s agenda for the US. He wrote in his tweet, "Sleepy Joe Biden has vowed to remove those Tariffs and allow China to resume its pillaging. Joe Biden’s Agenda is Made in China, my agenda is Made in the USA!"

Trump, who is against China's entry into the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has noted that the deal along with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are the "most disastrous trade deals in history." He also said, "If Biden wins, China will own this country. Under my administration, we will make America a manufacturing superpower of the world and will end our reliance on China. Whether it is decoupling or putting in massive tariffs, we are going to end our reliance on China," pointing at Biden's new policy with China.
Even though Trump's latest tweet talks about taking significant steps towards Michigan to make it "the manufacturing hub of the world once again" as he had told during his 2016 election rally, the president has received severe backlash for not working towards his promises. While Trump claims that he helped create "the best economy ever seen," reports suggest that even before the coronavirus-induced recession, jobs and wage gains in Michigan were slowing.
Therefore, Trump's latest tweet wasn't well-received by many of them on Twitter, who went on to question him about Michigan's development under his leadership. And some of them, pointing at his disapproval of trade with China, dragged him for getting several of the merchandises under the Trump brand, including the MAGA hats, from the same country that he has been condemning.
One Twitter user wrote, "Very rich coming from the guy that had his whole Trump brand made in China. Cool story tho." Another added, "All of your cheap merchandise is made in China, Spanky. And you're losing bigly in Michigan, especially after trying to boycott Goodyear, moron."

Sharing MAGA hat pictures with the labels on the display which says "Made in China", one of the Twitter users wrote, "You should check where that MAGA hat was made. Or truly ANY clothing w/a #twIDIOT label." Adding to the above tweet, one wrote: "Ask where all his maga gear is made or his daughter's crap."

One user even shared a chart that depicted the origin of all the products available in Trump hotel and tweeted, "Yeah but your MAGA hats and lots of your trademarks are made in China. And your ties. And the steel in a lot of 'your' buildings. And your daughter’s shoes and bags."
