Founder Of F-Rated MyPillow Joins Trump At 'Made In America' Panel

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Mike Lindell, the founder of Minnesota-based MyPillow, the company that earned an F-rating from the Better Business Bureau due too reportedly bogus BOGO offers, joined President Trump at a "Made in America" panel in the East Room of the White House on July 19. The event, part of the administration's Made in America Week, featured representatives of 20 companies that manufacture their products in U.S. factories using American workers.

The president said the businessmen and women at the panel "create the products that fill our homes, defend our nation and enrich our lives. Each one of these products proudly carries the label 'Made in the U.S.A.'"

"From day one, my administration has been fighting to bring back our manufacturing jobs and to crack down on foreign countries that cheat," the president told the group. "We will end the theft of American prosperity, and we will stand up for our companies, our factories and our workers."*

"It is obvious that President Trump cares deeply for manufacturers and their employees," said Lindell, who was seated immediately on his right. "Vice President Pence clarified that is a priority for this administration, declaring, 'Made in America is not a slogan; it's a mission.'

"I am proud to share that mission with Mr. Trump," Lindell added. "I felt the overwhelming presence of God when I visited the White House – from the president and everyone on his staff."

Lindell first met with Trump in mid-August during the presidential campaign to discuss keeping manufacturing at home and reviving America's cities. During a private meeting at Trump Tower, Lindell and Trump agreed that renewal begins in inner cities and with blue-collar American workers.
