In their unending quest for ideological purity, Donald Trump fans still drunk with the joy of victory have found a new foe, namely Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who happened to endorse Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.
The Hill details a small movement of Trumpkins who ask Starbucks baristas to write “Trump” on drink orders, an idea inspired by a viral video showing a Trump fan losing his sh*t in a Starbucks earlier this week after he experienced what he claimed to be “anti-white discrimination.”

As the trending hashtag #TrumpCup emerged, mockery ensued, mainly because the form of protest still involves giving Starbucks money.

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