Jimmy Kimmel went on a late-night shopping spree on Donald Trump's family website, TrumpStore.com, but he didn't do it to financially support POTUS.

Despite his wife telling him not to order a damn thing from the store -- which is run by Eric and Donald Jr. -- the late-night host didn't listen and instead dropped some serious cash on items like a gold coin bank, Trump hat, coffee mug, gold club cover and even a shoe bag.

Unboxing his order on television, Kimmel went searching for the "Made In" label on each item. With the exception of the mug, which was made in Thailand, and a "toddler bib just like the one the president wears when he eats cheeseburgers," which came from Peru, most of the swag was made in China.

He then pointed out how a couple of the items had no country of origin listed, which Kimmel noted, "I think is illegal." He then pulled up a screen shot from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website, which confirmed that "failure to properly report origin can result in substantial penalties."

1. Good for him....

expose the hypocrite/liar.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. TRump voters want their hats made by 6 yr old brown people in slave like

environments.

[laserhaas]

3. Pathetic state of affairs

[Plucketeer]

21. I don't believe that's the case

His worshipers don't give a rodent's rump where such things are made - don't care what color, age or gender the makers are, or what the conditions of employment or environmental impacts are, or how unfair wages might - or ANY of that! A person has to be able to think - and that has them out of the race before the starting gun's shot.

4. BWAAAAAHAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! nt

[Fred Sanders]

5. The Deplorables and the MSM already know this MASS hypocrisy, but seen not to care.

The Deplorable Cult I understand, sort of, by the legacy media not caring can only be explained by their general duty never to take sides, even against a fascist.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Remember when Letterman had Chump on?

[amuse bouche]

25. Kimmel has taken up the Letterman mantel and it's awesome

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. Not only NOT American made.

But nor does Trump hire American workers for his properties if he is so damm concerned about American jobs

[Stallion]

8. Citizen's Arrest!!! Citizen's ARREST!!!

[rurallib]

9. Lock Him Up!!!!

10. Who'd have ever thought it would be Jimmy Kimmel growing up and acting like this?

I admire the guy, I didn't like him years ago, but it's a pleasure to watch him evolve into this activist.

"toddler bib just like the one the president wears when he eats cheeseburgers"

[The Polack MSgt]

23. Right?

There is no way I would've thought he was going to grow up to be this good - Not when he was on the "Man Show" and "Win Ben Stein's Money"

I would have bet he would never be any more than a douche for life... Kinda like his former partner Adam Carrola is

[amuse bouche]

24. I just adore the guy now. I think his wife has had a life changing influence on him

[red dog 1]

11. Kick

Go, Jimmy, Go!

[Honeycombe8]

12. I thought everyone knew that. That was discovered long ago.

Nothing about Trump or Trumpers is genuine, honest, or makes sense.

[FakeNoose]

13. Yes but this is the first lawsuit connected with it - Kimmel is clever!

Even if this isn't a real lawsuit, it makes a good running gag for Kimmel's show.

[Honeycombe8]

14. Love him.

[left-of-center2012]

15. Even his wife was foreign made.

[Upthevibe]

16. Good for him!

I love Jimmy....

[SergeStorms]

17. Just another....

"do as I say, not as I do" CONservative. Hypocrites of the first order. It doesn't matter to the deplorables though. They won't get the connection with them not having a good paying job anymore.

19. Not defending tRump,

but goods made in the U.S.A. do not have to be labeled. Now, if you can prove they weren't made in the US and have no label, then you have a case.

[Tikki]

22. Well, with all the foreign made goods you think tRump would proudly declare Made in USA

if the items actually were made here.

20. The last time the Cons cared

was when John Kerry was running. They were furious that Teresa Heinz Kerry had ketsup made in Europe to sell in Europe. Of course she had nothing to do with it, but they were all over her.

26. The responsibility to label is on the overseas supplier.

Not the in states purchaser. I assume Kimmel has a lawyer who has informed him of that fact by now.
