Manufacturing

What Does Your Country Make

I didn't have a photo of a globe

So I used my own countries

Flag - the United States

This article is about Manufacturing

I ordered a t-shirt from Amazon

That had printed on the front of it

"Made in the USA"

When I received it, the label on it said,

"Made in Honduras" - I called Amazon

And they said that was a brand name-MADE IN THE USA

I told them it was false advertising

So I went looking in my house

For things made in the USA

I found very little - No clothing at all

A broom and food items

If you are angry at President Trump

For putting tariffs on things and attempting

To bring manufacturing back to the USA,

Just look in your house and see how many things you

Can find made in the USA

It is upsetting because my own father used

To Own a Rubber Factory and we used to make so many things

In this great country

This is a Challenge

Look through your closets, - look through your house

Leave a comment how many things you have found that

Are made in your country that you are living in

And if you find something made in the USA leave a comment also

I will consider ordering it

Do Not Fault Donald Trump For Seeing A Problem

Millions of Americans Did Not Apparently See

Donald Trump has many views, I don't agree with, but this isn't one of them.

I know ------------

I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THIS BAD!!!!

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT---------And tell me after you have looked through your house, how many things that you have made in your country,

And how many things that are made in the United States.
