What's the likelihood that other countries will start boycotting products made in the USA?
Trade agreement work both ways..and building factories - with zero environmental regulations - and zero worker protection - is just going to hurt us all.

>>...according to an article in the Los Angeles Times, Gitman Bros. president Chris Olberding reported that, while attending Italian trade show Pitti Uomo in Florence, one of the company's accounts was nearly cancelled due to the customer wanting to boycott American clothes.

>..The Donald J. Trump Collection includes ties, suits, dress shirts, eyeglasses and other accessories.
Trump shirts were made in China, Bangladesh, Honduras and Vietnam. PolitiFact Virginia found some Trump sport coats made in India. The Clinton campaign pointed to import data from 2007 that showed a Trump men’s shirt shipment marked as made in South Korea.
Some of the Trump suits on Amazon.com show they were imported, Made in USA or both. BuzzFeed ordered a suit that was listed as both “imported” and “Made in USA” — and ended up with a label showing the suits were made in Indonesia...
Users commented on Amazon.com that the suit that BuzzFeed purchased previously was listed as being imported from Mexico or China. This photo shows a Trump suit that carries a “Made in Mexico” label.
Manufacturing information online is not always reliable — for example, a photo of one shirt shows a “Made in Bangladesh” label, but the item description says it was made in China. This may be a reflection of the different countries that products sometimes pass through before they are ultimately shipped into the United States.
Trump eyeglasses are made in China. Cufflinks and other accessories do not list the source of manufacturing on Amazon.com.
“Success by Trump,” a cologne in the Trump Fragrance line, was manufactured in the United States, according to PolitiFact Virginia. The Trump campaign’s “Make America Great Again” hats are made at a Southern California factoryand are labeled “Proudly Made in USA.”
Trump home items
Trump Home has a range of items, including chandeliers, mirrors, bedding, table lamps, cabinets, sofas, barstools, cocktail tables and more.
Trump expanded the Trump Home brand internationally, including in Turkey. A Trump Organization news releaseshows it partnered with a global luxury furniture brand, Dorya International, to expand the Trump Home brand to a production facility in Turkey. According to Furniture Today, components of the Trump by Dorya furniture were made in Germany, particularly the brass and stainless pieces.
Several Trump Home items are listed as made in China or imported from China — mirrors, ceramic vases, wall decorations, kitchen items and lighting fixtures. The Clinton campaign has pointed to a trademark registration for the Trump Home brand that shows picture frames and other home products were made in India.
The Trump Home by Rogaska tabletop collection featured a crystal and china collection with a company based in Slovenia. Trump bedding comforters are listed as made in USA.
Trump hotel items
Many hotel amenities at Trump’s hotels were manufactured overseas and imported. Trump Hotel pens were made in China or Taiwan, and imported into the United States via South Korea. Shampoo, body wash, moisturizers, shower caps, laundry bags, show bags, pet collars, pet leashes and bath towels at Trump hotels are all listed as made in China.
Trump beverages
The Trump Natural Spring Water is served at Trump hotels, restaurants and golf clubs. Trump water comes from New York or Vermont, and is bottled in New York.
Trump Vodka was manufactured at a distillery in the Netherlands, supposedly distilled five times from “European wheat,” but the distribution company stopped carrying it in 2010. An Israeli company continued to carry Trump Vodka, although the version sold in Israel is different from the original Trump Vodka. The Trump Vodka produced and sold in Israel is made from ingredients that make it kosher for Passover, which made it a popular beverage around the holidays. But the Jerusalem Post reported that it turned out that not all ingredients actually were kosher for Passover.
Note: There’s a Trump Winery located in Charlottesville, Va., but it is reported to be owned by his son, Eric. The Trump Winery website says its name is a registered trademark of Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing, LLC. The winery imports glassware.
The Bottom Line
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....

I used to spend a lot of time
I used to spend a lot of time searching through piles of Levi jeans, trying to find the pair Made in the USA. I don't wear jeans anymore, so that's moot.
I started to wear New Balance, because they seemed to have the only athletic shoes Made in the USA. Now, those are hard to come by. But I still like the fit.

New Balance is the favorite
New Balance is the favorite shoe of Neo Nazis, for real. after the company endorsed Trump, I threw my New Balance sneakers in the trash. I'd rather buy from China,

Like Johnny, I Have for the last 25 years or more been buying "wide 4E" sneakers for comfort. Always bought New Balance 608 cross trainers, sold not only in sneaker stores but many department stores, and they were the only 4E's available in the market modestly priced at about 50 Bucks. About 5 years ago switched to Nike Monarchs and are very similar to the 608's and are the Nike wide 4E standard at about 50 bux. Got a few in the attic. New Balance 608's all made in Indonesia and the Nikes in China. Do not think either company makes sneakers in the USA anymore.

>>>>>after the company
>>>>>after the company endorsed Trump
It started, when Matt LeBretton, the company’s vice president for communications, told The Wall Street Journal last week that “we feel things are going to move in the right direction” under Donald J. Trump. Mr. LeBretton’s comments were made in the context of Mr. Trump’s opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal that New Balance says will hurt its production of shoes in the United States while rewarding competitors that make more of their products overseas.
Some consumers, however, saw that comment as a full-throated endorsement of Mr. Trump and reacted immediately, circulating images that showed New Balance shoes being burned or thrown in the trash. That led the brand to clarify its position through a statement in which it noted that it “publicly supported the trade positions of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump prior to Election Day that focused on American manufacturing job creation.” It also posted a statement to Facebook saying, “From the people who make our shoes to the people who wear them, we believe in acting with the utmost integrity and we welcome all walks of life.”

>As New Balance struggles to control its public-relations nightmare, with white supremacists declaring its sneakers “the official shoes of white people,” the company is learning the hard way to be more careful wading into politics.
Days after the shoe company drew ire for praising the trade policies of President-elect Donald Trump, a neo-Nazi blogger on Saturday declared his support for New Balance footwear, leaving the privately held, Boston-based company desperate to distance itself from hate groups.
The crisis began last week when a spokesman for New Balance, which opposed a White House-backed trade deal Trump has railed against, told a reporter that under Trump, “we feel things are going to move in the right direction.” Customers lashed out, sharing photos and videos on social media of New Balance sneakers in trash cans, in toilets, and set ablaze.
But then the Daily Stormer, a white supremacist website popular among the so-called alt-right, published a post that said New Balance was “making a gesture to support White people and to support US manufacturing.”..

And no, the country is NOT
And no, the country is NOT going to move in the right direction under Trump, just the fascist direction.
No doubt New Balance will be happy to build more factories and take advantage of corporate tax breaks, and weakened protections for workers and the environment under a Trump admin. of course they're going to have to deal with getting most of their supplies to build their sneakers from out of the country and will pay high import taxes - prices will skyrocket for consumers.

>Ford Motor, which has been trying to curry favor with President Donald Trump lately over trade issues, did an about-face on Monday, criticizing his new immigration restrictions, saying the policy flies in the face of the company's values.
Executive Chairman Bill Ford and Chief Executive Mark Fields sent an email to Ford employees Monday assailing the president's 90-day ban on immigrant travel from seven majority-Muslim countries.
"Respect for all people is a core value of Ford Motor Company, and we are proud of the rich diversity of our company here at home and around the world. That is why we do not support this policy or any other that goes against our values as a company. We are not aware, to date, of any Ford employees directly affected by this policy. We will continue working to ensure the well-being of our employees by promoting the values of respect and inclusion in the workplace."
The statement was poignant in several ways. One, Ford is based in Dearborn, Mich., a diverse community outside Detroit that is home to a large Arab population, both Christian and Muslim, from many different Middle Eastern countries. About one-third of Dearborn residents claim Arab heritage and many of them work for Ford.
Second, the statement was jointly issued by Fields, who was raised Jewish, and Ford, whose great-grandfather, Henry Ford, was one of the most notorious anti-Semites in American history. Their leadership is a testament to Ford's inclusive and diverse culture today.
UAW President Dennis Williams also issued a statement against the policy: "We are a nation of immigrants and our union would not exist if immigrants and non-immigrants alike hadn’t fought in solidarity for the rights we cherish today. We must protect national security while remaining true to the very values that have made us a great nation. The UAW opposes discrimination of any kind and denounces any policy that judges people based on their religion or nation of origin."
