American Apparel filed for bankruptcy on Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported. The clothing maker was the subject of some controversy, primarily related to the lewd behavior of it former CEO Dov Charney. American Apparel had also been producing campaign merchandise for Donald Trump, a self-described "winner" with considerable experience going bankrupt.
The failure of the Trump campaign clothing label appears to undermine the candidate's central message:
For all of my fantastic supporters, and for the U.S.A., we are going to win and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, maybe greater than ever before! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2015
