Xi Invites Trump To Inspect Factories Where MAGA Merchandise Is Made

[Zorro]

Chinese President Xi Jinping has begun Donald Trump’s state visit to China with a visit to the Guangdong factories where most of the ‘Make America Great Again’ and ‘Take Back America’ merchandise is produced.

Xi said he was proud of the special relationship between the two countries that allowed American consumers to purchase Chinese-made goods and for Chinese consumers to also purchase Chinese-made goods.

“We are honoured to support the American patriotism industry and proud to play our part in helping to Make America Great Again … hats, banners, flags, mugs and t-shirts. It is a very good business deal,” Xi said during a welcoming ceremony held beneath a giant inflatable MAGA bald eagle assembled in an Uyghur prisoner workshop.

A Chinese spokesperson assured the assembled US delegation that all MAGA production followed an America-first policy. “America first pay. Then we make,” he said.

Xi praised Trump’s focus on reviving the manufacturing industry. “Your movement has done tremendous things for manufacturing. Admittedly, not American manufacturing, but still,” he said, in front of a ‘Save America Jobs’ t-shirt production line.

1. I see they've learned how to deal with Trump!

"America first pay. Then we make."

There are hundreds of contractors in New York City who wish they would have followed that rule!

They solicit contributions or just headlines.

Got an idea? Follow the guidelines below
The headline is the most important bit. You can just send us the headline if you like. We’ll know if it works or not.
The majority of the articles we publish are mock news-style, but we will consider other formats (like how-to guides, editorial style pieces, listicles, cartoons etc). Articles exposing the subversive communist undertones of Peppa Pig should be sent to The Australian.

On edit: that last line about Peppa pig and 'The Australian' is satire; the Australian in a national Murdoch paper, full of it's own importance but very right wing.
