“RING AROUND THE COLLAR!”

So Trump's new signature economic policy, in addition to possibly being unfortunate for global trade is named after a phrase for poorly laundered clothing. pic.twitter.com/3Q5Jvg5A6m

Assuming that description is quoting Trump, he took it from a TV ad campaign for laundry detergent from the ‘60’s. From the days when women were expected to be the home laundress, caring for “their man’s” clothes, and obsessed with obscure stains. A typical ad campaign inventing a problem only the product could solve.

Yes, I’m seeing a pattern; a pattern of shocking shallowness.
