Jimmy Kimmel might end up costing President Donald Trump’s family some big money.

In light of the White House’s “buy American” rhetoric, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host bought a bunch of merchandise from the Trump Store, which is run by two of the president’s sons, to see where it all came from.

“I’m sure Eric and Donald Jr. take this American thing very seriously,” Kimmel said. “These guys are red, white and blue to the core. They’re like a couple of flags wearing hair gel, these two.”

Well, not so much.

Most of the merchandise Kimmel purchased was made abroad, and two items didn’t list a country of origin at all. Kimmel said such an omission could lead to potential fines of up to $500,000 if it turns out these products were made overseas.

“This could be very expensive,” Kimmel said. “Not to mention embarrassing. Are they even capable of shame? I mean Trump’s whole platform is about American companies, his company isn’t even supporting America!”

And Kimmel has a way to fix it.

“I’ll just file an official complaint and let them sort it out,” he said to cheers.

also:

Goods that are imported into the U.S. are required to have a country of origin making, such as; the country of manufacture, production, or growth of any article of foreign origin entering the United States.

For example, goods originating in China should be marked “Made in China.”

Failure to properly report product origin can result in substantial penalties. Companies can face up to $500,000 in fines per violation or “double” the loss or gain from the violation related to these violations.

No surprise. Trumps a con man, his whole America first rhetoric was just for votes.

Once again, laws, rules and regulations are just for the little people, never the Trumps!
