Snopes reported on Nov. 26, 2016, that it found no evidence for online claims that Donald Trump’s official “Make America Great Again” Christmas ornaments were made in China.
Where the claim came from
Trump’s website offered the limited-edition ornaments for a contribution. Several third-party sellers listed the same or lookalike ornaments on Amazon. Snopes said the made-in-China claims appeared in Amazon review sections and came with no photos of labels or other evidence. Even if some ornaments were made abroad, the Amazon listings came from third-party sellers not affiliated with the campaign.
What the official listing said
The listing on Trump’s website said the ornaments were “Proudly made in the USA,” and campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told reporters they were USA products. Snopes did not independently confirm the maker.
Similar questions came up about campaign hats; see the AP review and the Washington Post’s product list.
