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."
