Donald Trump accuses the U.S. for manufacturing goods in China he blames the loss of jobs and the economy, due to outsourcing. Unfortunately for the "Donald" many of his Trump-branded "Donald J. Trump Signature Collection" products such as: ties, shirts, hats, stuffed animals, cufflinks, tie clips are all made from China.  The Trump store in the lobby of  "Trump Towers" on 5th avenue, in NY, where his clothing is displayed there was not a label with "made in the U.S." The few things that are made in the U.S. are Trump chocolate bars, books, teas and Christmas ornaments priced at $15 each. His suits that are sold in Macy's are made from Mexico, China and Vietnam.

The Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is tomorrow and the threat of terrorism is real. Authorities are taking no chances and security checks of wedding guest of 1,900  will be searched and this will also include royalty and  political leaders from around the world. Undercover officers will be part of the crowd and armed police officers will also be part of the security, which is not customary in a nation that is unarmed.
