Trump Supporters Are Now Trolling Starbucks Employees IRL About Writing ‘Trump’ On Their Cups

Love it or hate it, Donald Trump is the next President of the United States. Over the last couple days some 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 “Trump” for the cup, thus insisting the barista yell “Trump” 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, there’s this full-grown man throwing a temper tantrum in Florida:

And this troll:

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 — Don’t feed the trolls:

Of course, plenty of people are mocking this “movement” — Because lets be honest: By buying a beverage at Starbucks, you’re actually supporting the business and its workers.
