   I was going to add an additional comment to my post something   
   like "cue Hollow complaining about Trump's trinkets and swag being made   
   overseas   
   in 5...4...3...2...1.."   
      
   I deleted it because I didn't think you could be that ignorant.   
      
   I was wrong.   
      
   Hint: comparing Trump's trinkets made overseas to something like Ciprofloxacin   
   is idiotic.   
      
   Just in case you were unaware:   
      
   Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is manufactured in multiple countries, depending on the   
   formulation and brand:   
      
   Tablets (e.g., 250 mg, 500 mg): Manufactured in Germany by Bayer HealthCare   
   Pharmaceuticals Inc.   
   Oral Suspension (5% and 10%): Manufactured in Italy.   
   Injection (Ciprofloxacin Injection USP): Manufactured in Switzerland by ACS   
   Dobfar Info S.A. for Sandoz Inc.   
   Ophthalmic Ointment (Ciloxan): Manufactured in India for Nexus Pharmaceuticals   
   Inc., distributed by Pack Pharmaceuticals, LLC.

   Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views,   
   but then are shocked and offended to discover that there   
    are other views.
