PISCATAWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — President Trump, whose company outsources the manufacturing of many of its products to overseas factories, is unveiling “Made in America” week at the White House to promote products made in the United States.

In keeping with the “America First” theme of Trump's inauguration, the administration will highlight U.S. manufacturing in the coming week, the latest of its theme weeks orchestrated by aides to bring discipline to the White House and focus Trump's schedule and message on a set of policies.

The week will begin Monday with a “Made in America product showcase” featuring crafts and other items created in each of the 50 states. The president plans to issue a declaration Wednesday and deliver remarks on the importance of making things in the United States. And Saturday, Trump will travel to Norfolk to attend the commissioning of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the first in the Navy's new class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

“This week the Trump administration will honor the amazing American workers and companies who have products that are made in America,” Helen Ferre, the White House's director of media affairs, told reporters at a briefing here Sunday. She said America sets “the world standard for quality and craftsmanship.”

3. They may have been made overseas

4. I think this is one of the few, perhaps the only wedge we can drive between 45 and his base.

His entire campaign was built on that bullshit MAGA slogan and yet almost nothing he and his daughter sell is made in America. We need to publicize his hypocrisy here as much as possible.

5. "Amazing American workers."

Don't get me wrong, we knock it out of the park. But...maybe they could talk about it without sounding like the DPRK?

6. Will he be introducing any new Trump products this week?

Introducing "Trump Borscht."
