That song is one of the most persistent earworms ever written! Just reading the name of the song has started it playing in my brain and it will be there for days.

(That said, its earworm qualities are what made that such an effective commercial.)

They were both Holocaust survivors who came to New York and built solid middle class lives because of the union. That union put us through college.

They're working on the assumption that American was NOT "great" before trump was elected. It WAS, but it's eons worse than before he took office.

But I think that picture may be misleading. I remember when this came up before & it was revealed the Trump campaign hats were made in USA while 3rd party MAGA hats were made in China.

Although Trump totally seems like someone who would go with hats made wherever they were cheapest, never mind the optics.

...I just cringe when WE start to act & look like the RIGHT whether on purpose or completely by mistake. We certainly don't have to fudge even a decimal point of evidence to know we sit firmly on the correct side of history...IMHO.

...And, right, that Orange Idiot has all his clothes made in China & other countries than the USA...Why not the MAGA hat! Easy mistake.

I think they find pride in that because it screws the unions. We all know who they donate to.

Still, "made in China" is over the line.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/are-donald-trumps-made-in-usa-hats-really-made-in-usa/

Complicated in that the official hats that sell for $25 to $30 are made in California while the knock-off Chinese made hats are sold for about $6 but investigators determined that fabrics used in some of the US made official hats did not match the US made fabric that the US company claimed they used. In other words, investigators concluded that at least some official hats appear to contain some imported fabric which is supposed to be disclosed on label but US manufacturer claims they use just US made fabric.

....from China and finished the hats in the USA.

According to the government agency that oversees things like this, they can't say "Made in the USA". I've never seen an actual hat, would probably gag if I had one in my hand, but I'm sure they don't have a label like Biden's label in it.

And I would bet trump's billions that they're not finished in a union shop.
