Barron Trump’s new fraud of a beverage company is quickly amassing haters before it’s even launched.
The Instagram page for Sollos Yerba Mate, a business that lists the youngest Trump as one of its directors, was flooded with angry comments as it teased its May launch.
Yerba mate is a traditional herbal tea that originated in South America, and the company’s name is drawn from “sol,” the Spanish word for sun. The business is headquartered at a 4,500-square-foot property in Palm Beach, Florida, where President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is also located.
The irony of the branding wasn’t lost on social media users, who pointed out that the Trump administration has been hard at work targeting Latino communities under its hardline deportation blitz.
“Nice cultural appropriation...They don’t want Latinos in the U.S. but they want their products. Buy yerba from Latin American countries and do this beverage the natural way!” one user wrote.
“Funny the name is Sollos... Spanish words. Given Daddy Cheeto’s policies shouldn’t this be called ICE or WHITE or something??” another asked.
“Oh wow, a family tied to anti-Latino rhetoric profiting off something deeply rooted in Indigenous (Guaraní), Paraguayan, and South American culture. Yeah… no! Yerba mate carries real history and survival, and shouldn’t be sold by the son of the man who loathes Latinos,” one commented.
This comes as rumors of Barron’s possible insider trading have surged amid the growth of prediction markets, betting sites that allow people to gamble on everything from election outcomes to sports games and foreign relations.
