I'm sorry, but I don't see a genuine problem with Donald Trump's so-called hypocrisy. As he said in one interview, he was wearing a tie made in China because that's what's available.
As a businessman, one has to generate profit in the legislative (and cultural) milieu in which one finds oneself. If it makes more sense to outsource something or "buy foreign" because of subtle or direct government pressure to do so (the "legislative milieu"), then that's the reasonable choice to make as a businessman.
For personal reasons, I dislike products made in one particular country, but given a choice between two automobiles with virtually identical specs, and the one from the country I dislike is 20% cheaper, my decision usually tends toward buying the cheaper one... personal dislikes notwithstanding.
Hypocrisy? Or obeying my wallet's demands?
Who among us has not bought a pair of special-purpose pliers from, say, (insert Discount Tool House of your choice), even though the pliers are made in...
Who among us has not bought running shoes from...
Who among us will throw the first stone called "hypocrisy?"
Who among all those candidates is also wearing a tie made in China?
