His campaign appears to have spent well more than $325,000 on those “Make America Great Again” hats.
The workers who stitch the hats are overwhelmingly Latino – a group the candidate has alienated aggressively over the course of his campaign with sweeping anti-immigration policy proposals, including building a wall between the US and Mexico. Cali-Fame president Brian Kennedy told the Los Angeles Times that he had to address his 80% Latino workforce when the orders started coming in from Trump.
Yolanda Melendrez, an immigrant from Mexico who works at the Cali-Fame factory, told the Times: “When we first got the order, I said to myself, ‘Just wait until he sees who’s making his hats.’ We’re Latinos, we’re Mexicans, Salvadoreños.”
The campaign sells each hat for $25. Trump’s estimated profits from his own accessory remained unclear and were not mandated by the FEC.
