Now, as Trump warns Canada’s “general way of life” could be affected by signing a Chinese trade deal, these Chinese-made collectibles of the White House illustrate hypocrisy and raise a valid question.

Why is it that American businesses can sell Americana manufactured in China but its not okay for Canada to do the same?

At the Reagan National Airport gift shop just 15 minutes from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., souvenir models of The White House, The Capitol or the American seal are clearly marked “Made in China.”

It’s a ‘do as I say, not as I do,’ double standard.

“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social.

But Canada didn’t drop those Chinese souvenirs off in Washington.
