"Vote: Removes Stubborn Orange Stains" Political Button, 2020

Summary

This anti-Donald Trump button references the iconic Donald Deskey-designed bullseye logo for Tide laundry detergent. The slogan--"Removes Stubborn Orange Stains"--references the exaggerated orange facial hue popularly associated with Trump. Commonly mocked by critics, this coloration was variously attributed to rosacea, lighting, tanning, makeup, self-tanning products, altered photographs, or a combination of these factors.
