Trump’s gold merch caught with ‘made in China’ stickers at new Scotland golf club

President Donald Trump flew to Scotland, where he spent the weekend at his Turnberry resort playing golf. While the White House press corps and those credentialed to wander the grounds were rummaging through the resort, a Reuters photographer discovered some of the items up for sale in the new resort gift shop would normally be subject to hefty tariffs if sold in the United States.

The merchandise includes hats that read “TRUMP” and “USA,” as well as teddy bears wearing “TRUMP” sweaters. But one key item is a packet of gold glittery playing cards with a prominent “Made in China” sticker on the bottom.

The website shows only a few items for sale in the store. Many more items are available at those shops in the United States.

The pro-shop’s website indicates that items for sale are only available for purchase “for our U.S. customers.” It also boasts that the resort is home “to one of the largest Pro Shop’s in Europe, this richly decorated, well-appointed clubhouse also features a replica claret jug which is on display along with a collection of memorabilia which reflects the resort’s rich Open history.” The claret jug is a “trophy” of sorts for those who win the British Open. Trump’s is fake.

The Trump administration has just concluded a day of negotiations with China on trade in Stockholm.

Trump’s Bibles are also made in China, as are his new “Made in the USA” Trump cell phones. The company’s phone site was forced to remove the “Made in the USA” label from the website.

“Instead, the Trump Mobile website now includes what can only be described as vague, pro-American gestures in the direction of smartphone manufacturing,” The Verge reported in June. “The T1’s new tagline is “Premium Performance. Proudly American.’”
