Love it or hate it, Donald Trump is the next President of the United States. Over the last couple days someĀ of the most aggressive, trolly Trump supporters have found a new way to egg on liberals IRL: Go to Starbucks, buy a beverage, and say your name is āTrumpā for the cup, thus insisting the barista yell āTrumpā when your Pumpkin Spice Latte is called.
And here I thought irony humor was just for skinny-jeans wearing hipsters in Brooklyn and San Francisco.
This has caused some confrontations over the last few days. For example, thereās this full-grown man throwing a temper tantrum in Florida:

And this troll:
Starbucks called the cops because a customer requested the name Trump on his coffee cup.

Sorry that your job has to suck even more, Starbuck baristas. Just write the damn name Trump on the cup and collect your paychecks. Rule #1 of life ā Donāt feed the trolls:

Of course, plenty of people are mocking this āmovementā ā Because lets be honest: By buying a beverage at Starbucks, youāre actually supporting the business and its workers.Ā

Instead of asking for a #TrumpCup just boycott #Starbucks. Companies ONLY get the message when it hurts their wallet$.

If all the Trumpsters use the same name at Starbucks they'll get their orders mixed up. They did not think this through #TrumpCup
