Executive summary

The official retail channels for Trump-branded merchandise are run by the Trump Organization (TrumpStore.com/Trump.com) and campaign-operated storefronts, which use a mix of domestic and foreign suppliers rather than a single vertically integrated factory [1] [2] [3]. Investigations and reporting show some headline items — notably the “Make America Great Again” caps sold through the campaign — are made in California, while much of the broad assortment of Trump-labeled goods is produced overseas or “decorated” in the U.S., and the overall share of U.S.-made items in the Trump online shop has been estimated as relatively small [4] [5] [6].

1. The official sellers: Trump Organization stores and campaign storefronts

Official Trump merchandise is sold through multiple official channels: the Trump Organization’s retail operation (TrumpStore.com and in‑store at Trump Tower) which markets “The Official Trump Collection,” and separate campaign fundraising storefronts hosted on platforms such as WinRed that staff the “official” campaign gear shop [1] [2] [7] [3]. Reporting makes clear these are retail and branding operations that curate product lines rather than operating all manufacturing themselves, and their product pages distinguish certain items as “Made in America” or “decorated in the U.S.” while carrying other internationally sourced goods [6] [4].

2. The MAGA cap: one clear domestic manufacturer

Multiple fact checks report that the campaign’s official red MAGA baseball cap sold through the campaign website is manufactured in California, making it a concrete example of Trump-branded goods produced in the United States [4]. That contrasts with counterfeit or third‑party MAGA caps often sold at rallies or online that are made abroad; reporting on rally vendors notes that much of the merchandise hawked in person is imported [8].

3. The broader product mix: small U.S. share, many items overseas

Analysis of the Trump online shop finds only a minority of items labeled U.S.-made — Quartz counted roughly 41 U.S.-made offerings and estimated that about 15% of Trump Store products were made in the United States — while many apparel, novelty and accessory items lack clear origin labels or appear to be manufactured abroad [5] [6]. The Trump Store itself promotes a dedicated “Made in America” collection, implicitly confirming that much of the catalog is not wholly U.S.-produced [6].

4. Known suppliers and geographic footprints named in reporting

Third‑party suppliers and vendors have supplied Trump-branded goods historically: the Spalding Group operates “Trump Store America” and has been listed as a supplier to Republican campaigns, indicating campaign merchandising is often fulfilled by experienced political merchandise vendors rather than a single Trump factory [9]. Reporting and older campaign critiques have also identified manufacturers in China, Korea and Thailand for Trump-branded shirts, ties, pins and cufflinks in earlier retail assortments, underscoring that sourcing has long been international [10].

5. Specialty items and non-U.S. manufacturers

Some officially offered items are clearly sourced overseas or from foreign brands: for example, the Trump Store has sold wine glasses by Riedel, an Austrian manufacturer, and other products described as “decorated in the U.S.” suggest components or base goods were produced abroad then finished domestically [4] [6]. Fact‑checking and commerce reporting caution that labels such as “decorated” do not equate to full domestic manufacture [4].

6. Political framing, marketing and gaps in public record

Public reporting reveals competing narratives: political opponents have historically highlighted overseas production in Trump’s retail assortment to attack inconsistency with protectionist rhetoric, while the Trump retail channels emphasize selective U.S.-made offerings and branding [10] [11]. There is no publicly available, comprehensive supplier list or factory-by-factory audit published by the Trump Organization or campaign in the sources reviewed, so mapping every contract manufacturer and factory location beyond the examples cited here is not possible from the available reporting [1] [3] [5].
