Oh, difficult. And here I thought good businessmen were supposed to be unique in their ability to overcome difficulties.

Besides, scarves are difficult? Is there a simpler garment?

I mean, I'm right now looking at my very nice American-made hoodie, very much a quality product, with elastic panels and heavy-duty zippers and freaking fitting like a glove. US-grown cotton, made in US factories, the works. I'd say it's a good deal better engineered than your average scarf.

And somehow, undoubtedly by some freak happenstance, the company making it overcame the difficulties.

Sorry, we prefer our messengers not to be massive hypocrites.

Trump is a farce.

Typical for businesses to do that, he is no different. The same scarf made in the USA would probably be double the price.
But you would not end up in the Burn Ward.

Trump is a pathetic, hypocritical fraud.
What is ironic is that when questioned regarding the hypocrisy of his outsourcing to China, Trump claims he is forced to do this for business reasons.

When questioned about bringing many foreign employees in on visas, he claims he is forced to, and he is taking advantage of the rules of business and the laws.

When questioned about his bankruptcies, he claims he was taking advantage of the laws, like a good businessman.

...and yet, when Kasich stays in the race as he is allowed to, Trump claims he is 'stealing' votes from him.

Trump claims Cruz is 'stealing' delegates when Cruz is simply playing by the election rules.

Trump claims the GOP is 'stealing' his nomination when they are simply using the rules to their advantage--just like Trump boasts that he does.

Yes, certainly is a huuuuggggge hypocrite. All the excuses in the world do not change this.

Somebody who's company filed bankruptcy FOUR times and has run 10 companies into the ground isn't necessarily going to make money regardless of the fact that Sleazy Don is a walking definition of hypocrisy!
