After Trump signed another hypocritical executive order, Jake Tapper brilliantly pointed out Trump’s hypocrisy of his new Buy American, Hire American executive order.

CNN’s Jake Tapper tore into Donald Trump’s hypocritical “Buy American, Hire American” executive order, asking if the president should consider “looking into his own companies business practices first.”
Trump signed the order in Wisconsin on Tuesday, which directs a series of federal agency reviews—though does little to directly impact policy. The president said the order aims to identify where the government can “aggressively promote and use American-made goods.” It also directs federal agencies to reform the H1-B visa laws, which allow companies to bring in highly skilled foreign workers.
During the piece, he plays a clip from 2015 where he asked Trump about his ties that are made in China and whether it was hypocritical they were made in China. Of course, I'm never, ever wrong Trump says it wasn't hypocritical at all.
“The president just signed an order to ‘buy American,” Tapper said. “So wait, does that mean he wants me to stop buying Trump products?”
Trump has hired many, many foreign guest workers.
As for hiring American, a CNN review found that the president as a corporate head has hired more than 1300 foreign guest workers to work at his various businesses here in the U.S., including requesting 78 visas to staff his two Florida properties for this year,” Tapper added.
During the campaign, The Washington Post fact checked whether a Clinton campaign ad was telling the truth about Trump products being made in 12 countries and guess what, absolutely TRUE.
Trump hypocrisy in action.

The Clinton ad claims that “Trump’s products have been made in 12 other countries.” This is correct. We know of at least 12 countries where Trump products were manufactured (China, the Netherlands, Mexico, India, Turkey, Slovenia, Honduras, Germany, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam and South Korea). Further, Trump products transited other countries through the packaging and shipping process — meaning workers in more than 12 countries contributed to getting many of Trump’s products made, packaged and delivered to the United States.
So Trump and his businesses, that he hasn't divested from, do not practice what he preaches. It’s just more hot-air and hypocrisy from Trump. Trump is a grifter.
Thanks for pointing this out Jake, once again.
