Donald Trump Jr. has once again ignited a firestorm on social media after sharing a doctored image on Instagram that showed his father, President Donald Trump, throwing a green-hued sex toy onto a WNBA court from the White House roof. The post, which came with the caption “Posted without further comment” and a few laughing emojis, has prompted a mix of chuckles and outrage.
The meme’s timing is particularly notable as it coincides with a disturbing and disruptive trend where individuals have been throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts during live games. This trend, which has led to multiple arrests and frustrated players, coaches, and fans, has been linked to a cryptocurrency group known as “Green Dildo Coin.”
According to a USA Today report, a spokesperson for the group claimed the stunts were not an attack on women’s sports. Instead, they explained it was a method to generate attention for their memecoin, which they believe is fighting a “toxic” environment within the cryptocurrency world. The spokesperson added, “Creating disruption at games is like, it happens in every single sport, right? We’ve seen it in the NFL, we’ve seen it in hockey, you know… fans doing random things to more or less create attention.” However, the group’s specific focus on WNBA games remains unclear.
The social media response to Donald Trump Jr.’s meme has been varied. One user, clearly amused, wrote, “Greatest IG account. Ever.” In contrast, others criticized the post as “classless” and immature. A commenter expressed their disapproval, stating, “I’m Don Trump Sr for life, but this kind of stuff is classless, and it screams ‘my daddy is the president and I don’t know how to act’.” Another user lamented, “No funny at all… I’m looking at the comments seriously, do you honestly think this is funny and this is America is back?”
The controversial meme and the underlying trend have brought both a political figure and a peculiar cryptocurrency group into a surprising spotlight, underscoring how social media and real-world events can intersect in bizarre ways.
