Where are Donald Trump's sneakers made?

The trainers are made by CIC Ventures LLC. This is a company Trump reported owning in his 2023 disclosures. The website states: "Trump Sneakers are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump."

It goes on: "45Footwear, LLC uses the Trump name, image and likeness under a license agreement which may be terminated or revoked according to its terms. GetTrumpSneakers.com is not political and had nothing to do with any political campaign."

.........Donald Trump has not stated where the sneakers are made specifically, although is a known advocate for returning manufacturing to the United States.

The website states: "If you are shipping outside of the United States, once your order arrives at its destination, you will be required to pay all import duties, customs, and local sales taxes levied by the country to which you are shipping in order to release your order from customs.".....................................

But article does NOT say where the sneakers are made-nothing but Trump's promise.
seems to be a mystery.

I would guess China.

How many sneaker brands are made in the US? I know That New Balance used to, not sure if they still do. I used to buy Red Wing work boots made in America.

I read an article a few minutes ago that 1,000 pairs sold . What suckers and losers. I bet that does not cover import fees and taxes.

Of course not. That would still be below the median annual salary for a US worker. He's such a liar. Everyday another series of lies.

“is a known advocate for returning manufacturing to the United States”

Saying a thing when he thinks it provides political advantage doesn’t make him an “advocate.” Media always seem to attribute greater intent to Trump than is warranted.
