Meridith McGraw on Twitter: "Bingo! I have been saying forever that I bet Trump wanted to name his trade agreement USMCA because the song 'YMCA'...and he just confirmed: Trump: "I'm good at names, USMCA, like the song YMCA. Nobody could remember USMCA, I said think of the song "YMCA. Now everybody says it""

  Except the general public barely knows the acronym "USMCA". And pretty much everyone knew "NAFTA". The difference? You can pronounce "NAFTA" as a word, but "usmicka" doesn't work. For a "branding genius", @realDonaldTrump seems clueless.

  It will never not be bizzare to get @QuorumAnalytics alerts whenever POTUS talks about the USMCA at a rally by continually referencing the YMCA song by the Village People, thus triggering the email alert
