Let's see the VJ Trumpsters tap dance around this.

Ivanka Trump’s $100 million apparel line is sewn in Asian countries under a licensing agreement with G-III Apparel Group Inc., which has expanded from making coats in New York’s Garment District to become a manufacturer of global scope. That method of moving $140 sheath dresses and $80 sweaters means political embarrassment for her father, who has threatened a trade war against China, the world’s second-largest economy. But she can make a profit in few other ways.

Why Asia? You know why:

The Trump clothes are sourced primarily from China and Vietnam because that’s where fabrics are made and the labor is cheap and skilled. The brand generates an estimated $100 million in sales -- a small part of G-III’s annual take of more than $2 billion, said John Kernan, an analyst for Cowen & Co.

She moved production overseas?

Maybe because to be able to compete with the other bazillion companies that source their products from China she has to also?

At least one person here seems to have an understanding of basic economics. I'm sure she will be happy to move production to the US as soon as there is an economic climate that allows her to do so and be competitive as a business. Some people are so narrow minded and don't understand what it takes to run a profitable business. I am sure many companies will produce things in the US as soon as there is an economic climate that allows them to do so and be profitable and competitive. Trump seems to be already turning the tide in this respect and he hasn't even been sworn in as president yet.

Loosen up taxes and minimum wage laws and the jobs will come back.

Way to tap into the pulse of the average US worker!

More work, less pay! Erm, or was it work makes you free? I am confident Trump will choose the bigliest slogan.

You're right. We don't need jobs for high school kids or unskilled workers in this country. Just let them all go on the government dole!

The unskilled must be put to work if we hope to move ahead. The job creation will maximize the return to make America great again.
