Focus - Put Things In Perspective

It's 1950. You live in the United States and World War II is a vivid memory. Everybody knows a Gold Star Family. Everyone knows someone who was a POW.
People are starting to buy homes and have families. Vets are going to college on the GI Bill. We are hungry for peace.
A toy company comes up with a doll that talks when you pull the string. This is what it looks like.
Samples of what the doll says include, "When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything - grab them by the pussy."
It also says, "He’s not a war hero because he was captured? I like people who weren’t captured."
At other times it derides a Gold Star Mother and praises the Russian dictator.
How do you think you would react to it in a marketing focus group?
How do you think you would react to this photo?
Don't let Trump turn us against each other over football players kneeling in protest before a game. Too many Americans have sacrificed everything to insure our right to freedom of speech and peaceful protest.
On Howard Stern's radio show Trump called dating in the 1980s his personal Vietnam. He also told Howard it was okay to refer to his daughter, Ivanka, as a "piece of ass". Trump respects nothing,
Holy Moly!
