Ivanka Trump was importing 50 tonnes of Chinese clothing as her father was saying 'buy American'

More than 50 tonnes of Ivanka Trump-branded clothing was imported into the US as her father told the country “we will... buy American and hire American”, it has emerged.

At least 82 shipments also reportedly passed through US customs from China between the election on 8 November and 26 February.

The investigation by news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) also revealed more than two tonnes in ladies’ polyester woven blouses, 1,600 cowhide leather wallets and 23 tonnes in footwear entered the country during this period.

Analysis last July found not one of 25 different Trump-branded clothing items at New York City’s flagship Macy’s store were made in the US but mostly in China and Vietnam.

During Mr Trump’s inauguration speech at Capitol Hill on 20 January he said: “We will follow two simple rules; buy American and hire American.”

As well as talking of “American carnage”, he castigated domestic and foreign manufacturers for using overseas labour.

But AFP claims to have seen US customs bills that prove his eldest daughter’s company is still buying thousands of items from China, including 53.5 tonnes that were steaming towards American ports during the speech.

The goods were made in China by three US companies which hold Ivanka Trump licences, including G-Ill, Mondani Handbags and Marc Fisher Footwear.

Marc Fisher told AFP it had no comment and others did not respond to requests.

Apparently more than 1,200 shipments of Trump-branded products have flowed into the US from China and Hong Kong over the past decade.

G-Ill reportedly sold $29.4m of the goods in 2015 and sales in the first nine months of 2016 were up $13.3m, according to the firm’s public filings.

The 70-year-old property mogul, who frustrated China by talking to Taiwan’s president and saying the US will protect interests in the South China Sea, has previously accused the Asian country of stealing US jobs and being behind the 'hoax' of climate change.

The latest news also follows a spike in the sales of Ivanka Trump clothing after White House advisor Kellyanne Conway plugged her lines on Fox & Friends.

This is despite Nordstrom dropping all her products, following the Grab Your Wallet campaign, which press secretary Sean Spicer called a “direct attack” on the president’s policies.

The hypocrisy stinks!

 Crissy Curly have u purchased your handbag yet.
It must be difficult for u to accept that some folks actually earn their keep instead of waiting for handouts.
Go Ivanka.........what a star.

Dense denise you are a truly a moron. Ivanka is an independent  business women. The USA has a trade deficit with China of some 500 billion dollars annually. There is huge trade between the two countries. many many Americans trade with China!!!!Secondly dense denise Ivanka is a private citizen and not the president.It has never been the intention to stop trade with china!
Get grip you half baked twit. You still don' t get the really huge threat globalism represents. What a clueless mampara.

Another "Christian" like post from Jihadi Imam Beeno.

 Oh please Cloudy just hearing Ivanka speak and the way she conducts herself this is obviously a very sane and highly intelligent lady.I wouldn't be surprised if she is the first female POTUS.
I have to say I get more disgusted by the elite globalist MSM brain washing programme by the day. I am very thankful to YOU Tube clips where one can hear what is actually said. Also the many other media outlets operating these days where one can here non globalist propaganda.
Thankfully other news sources are now very big and the MSM control of the narrative has slipped dramatically. The Americans are obviously well ahead in realizing the globalist propaganda is fake news and is actually totally anti American. Gullible kbbs and many here in South Africa still globalist dupes.
The one world government globalist are finding the going much harder to day as the peopel rise up against them.
The huge threat to freedom loving peoples is the alliance between islam and globalsim. As I noted before, that well known globalist rat Soros says, - before the NWO can be established, Western Civilization must be destroyed.
Trump currently is standing against these globalists/ bilderberger/ illuminati. Hence their vicious and unrelenting attack on him. They have succeeded in infiltrating the schools and universities. they also control the MSM and Hollywood. However they have not captured the whole of America and the fightback is really on. In Europe Wilders grew his party by 33% and Ruttle the  PM lost 25%. In France Le Pen is expected to win the first round and pray God she wins and saves france from becoming a muslim country.
I trust you saw the article where Erdrogan the Turkish president urges all Turks to have 5 children as the future of Europe is theirs. The globalist plan to flood Europe with migrants , mainly muslims. Just like Hussein Obummer and Clinton wanted to do.

 Jihadi Imam Beeno at pains to justify the hypocrisy of the Tr.umps.

 Beeno, Tr@ump is a globalist, albeit a dim witted self-centered one.

 Yep, there's Deddy Tangerine wanting to make, 'America great again .' Great support from Ivanka & I'm sure all the devotees will be so proud of Tramp's golden child.

 Why on Earth is the daughter sitting in on the meetings that her father has with big business and world leaders?
It stinks!

Dense denise if you google it you will find that Ivanka is NOT the first presidents daughter to play the role of First Lady. dense denise you are such an ignorant weasel Its a real laugh bwahahahahahahahaha
Ivanka is pure class. Her sales are rocketing thanks to silly boycotts that have backfired spectacularly. In fact all of Trumps children are amazing and a great credit to him.
Oaks what needs to happen is the prosecution of the muslim traitor hussein obummer and the corrupt clintons. Their take down will unmask the biggest scandals in political history.Meanwhile congrats to Hollands Geert Wilders for increasing his vote by 33% and reducing the PM's vote by 25%.  Wilders is going to now be in a position to roast these globalist scumbags in parliament. All agree he has pulled the country to the right and changed views on the muslim invasion. All to the good.,
Le Pen climbed 5 points in the polls in 8 days and hopefully will win the French presidency and end globalist ruled EU. Thereby saving France and Europe from islamic rule and economic collapse in the future. As matters deteriorate further the MSM globalist narrative and lies fall apart.
As each day passes the people are waking up and no longer buying the propaganda of the globalist MSM. Of course you have on this board some very gullible and ignorant people still sucking on the globalist teat. How stupid can one be, how utterly gullible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Globalism = Illuminati = Bilderbergers just to spell it out to the ignorant twits here. Wake up you stupid nutters. 

 I am all in favour of this Make America great again drive, but must this be implemented even when its to America's disadvantage? I think Ivanka imported the stuff subsequent to a trade agreement which might have been agreed upon long before her father won the election. So, should she pay penalties to dump the order just to adhere to an election promise?

 So, should she pay penalties to dump the order just to adhere to an election promise?
In my opinion...No. But if she continues the trend then obviously it's hypocrisy. .

 Everybody are p!ssing themselves over DT's promises (and actions, one might add). He has actually not really promised something that other US presidents before him did not also say. Only difference is that he acted on his promises.
Watch clip. It is quite funny but 100% spot-on.

Then watch this one. It is the similarities in both DT and Obama's victory speeches:
