Donald J. Trump is known for putting name on his hotels, a university, and even steak, in an attempt to make the products more marketable. In China, businessmen use Trump’s name to sell flush toilets and air purifiers.
In 2002, Shenzhen Trump Industries set up operations in the province of Guangdong in southern China. The company sold high-end toilets for private and public use, with features like automatically-placed toilet seat covers, and pedal-activated flush.
As Foreign Policy pointed out on March 14, company’s claim that it has solved “the problem of toilet hygiene on a global scale” and has a billion “users” each year, echoes some of Trump’s own boastfulness. Trump the politician and property mogul is promoting his candidacy as an effort to “make America great again.”
