“If they refuse, take video.”
The trend was apparently started by Twitter user @bakedalaska on Thursday. Since then, many supporters have ordered "Trump cups" and shared them online.
@bakedalaska, a former BuzzFeed employee, told his supporters to "1) Go to Starbucks & tell them your name is Trump and 2) If they refuse take video."
As the #TrumpCup hashtag spread on Twitter, many right-wing accounts began circulating a video claiming one Starbucks location called the cops on a man who ordered with Trump's name.
BuzzFeed News could not verify the source of the video or details of the event.

This isn't the first time Trump supporters have spoken out against the coffee giant.
Earlier this month, Starbucks released limited-edition green cups meant to "celebrate community" "during a divisive time in our country."
Many people, thinking it was a replacement for the company's red holiday cups, got really offended.
The actual holiday cups — which, yes, are red — were released a week later.
