What American-made products can I buy to prove we can thrive without cheap imports?

[Douglas1180]

Lately I’ve seen a lot of folks slamming President Trump’s push for tariffs—saying they’ll “hurt the economy” or that we “need global trade.”

But let’s get real: those short-sighted arguments ignore decades of outsourcing, job losses, and the decline of American manufacturing.

Therefore, I want to shift all my purchases to Made in the USA—tools, clothes, boots, cookware, you name it. Tired of cheap imports, supply chain nonsense, and sending our dollars overseas. I want to support Trump, American workers and companies that still believe in quality, craftsmanship, and patriotism.

What are some of your favorite U. S.-made products that still hold up against or beat anything foreign-made and aren't affected by tariffs? Bonus points if the company stands for American values.

While I can't provide things that is US made, I do know a few things that you can't buy from now on. First of all, coffee is off the table. While USA grows some coffee, most notably in Hawaii, it will not be enough to go around. There is also not enough land that can grow coffee to noticeably increase the production either so its permanently lost in this case.

Second on the chopping block is chocolate. Same reason here, not enough land in USA can grow cocoa to meaningfully supply the whole of USA. The rich might be able to enjoy the all-American chocolate but you sure won't.

Then we have fruits and veggies that are off-season. USA can grow a lot of things but not all year around. There will be periods of time where you become very limited on what fruits and veggies you can enjoy if you limit yourself to only American producers.

[Douglas1180]

It's unfortunate that you would zoom in on the few things we can't do. If coffee and chocolate cost 10% more, then that's the price of sovereignty and dignity. It's not about perfection, it's about putting America first.

[Syntosi]

Well, things are what they are. Its a lot easier to find the things that is impossible than to find the things that are possible.

I would also not be particularly excited about buying "America first" products. For example, if you buy a T-shirt from Vietnam then you can get a lot of quality control and quality materials for cheap where as if you buy one from USA then they will have to cut every corner known to man to even get close in price thanks to American wages and material costs.

There used to be a time when "Made in America" used to mean something AKA quality. Today that is no longer true for various reasons.

The only fruit I buy not grown in USA is banannas.

[Syntosi]

@exitseven Which is why I said off-season. Just because you can grow fresh fruit at one part of the year does not mean you can grow it all year around. If you want fresh fruit then you need to import it from somewhere they can grow it fresh at that time. As such USA imports a lot of fresh fruit throughout the year such as:
Avocado, Banana, Grape, Cranberries, Raspberries, Lemon, Pineapple, Mango, Mandarins, and watermelons. Among others of course, this is not an exhaustive list of imported fruit.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I'm rather confused by your question in France I only buy French and European product since im born so if you do not do this in your own country why would you try to proved your country is superior?

Ther'es generally always an local option for everything

[Douglas1180]

I'm not suggesting that American products are necessarily superior. I stated that they can be just as good or better than imports. "Cheap" is a synonym for inexpensive.

[alice55]

I know what cheap mean I just mean I'm confused why you did not do this earlier?

[Douglas1180]

Because in a lot cases "you get what you pay for." But this question really isn't for you anyway, so please stop trolling.

[OneViewpoint]

That’s why the French economy is underdeveloped and the French standard of living is lower than the US.

[alice55]

@OneViewpoint We still live very well and healthy

[Jackblue]

There are some things you really can't make in the US like chocolate. Additionally, I am not sure we even have the factories to make a lot of the stuff we import and building them will take time. I like Trump for cracking down on cancel culture and for appointing the judges that have limited abortion, but I can't condone broad tariff policies. I can see trade restrictions being used against China for the specific reason that their Government is a dictatorship, but broad tariffs ultimately rely on the same faulty logic socialism does, the claim that people can only thrive by taking from others whether it is money or jobs. The philosophy of capitalism on the other hand is that while businesses compete ultimately humanity benefits mutually.

Buy a MAGA hat. Oh wait, those are made in China.

tRump bible? No, China again.

tRump ties? Nope Vietnam.

Measles? There ya go. Git ya some in Texas.

Aren't you that guy from Canada who keeps trying to sell me moose meat on the dark web? I'm not interested.

[OneViewpoint]

You’ve been trying to buy moose cock on the dark web?

Donkeys aren’t doing it for you these days.

You should keep that shit to yourself. It’s humiliating.

[Douglas1180]

What makes you think I'm into that woke mob shit?

Obviously, you can't read.

[OneViewpoint]

And there it is. Only took a little stress to bring out the “woke” comment. That’s what you people always do when your brains collapse.

[Entertained_Adult]

@OneViewpoint your brain collapsed when you read "woke mob?"

How do you call a herd of omnigendered protestors with signs "boycott everything"?

[Entertained_Adult]

Or did it collapse earlier? A little stress brought out your "beast cock" ideas?

[Douglas1180]

@OneViewpoint If you want to talk about American manufacturing, or how to bring more jobs home to the U. S., I’d be glad to have that conversation with you in a constructive and legal way that doesn't involve purchasing your contraband.

[BonzoInBitburg]

Nothing after what Trump has done to our country.

[Douglas1180]

Did you lose your wasteful government job or what?

[Opinion Owner]

No, but I can see you are an idiotic Trump supporter who doesn't no his head from his butt.
