Ivanka Trump sparks bean memes after she posed with can of Goya beans

Ivanka Trump, White House adviser and first daughter, decided to use her lofty position on Tuesday to promote Goya beans. Predictably, memes and jokes followed. 

To be clear it’s not all funny: The photo, using Goya’s own tagline, almost certainly violated federal ethics regulations. A federal official like Trump, who is an advisor to the president, isn’t supposed to use their position to promote a product. 

If you’re wondering why in the hell Trump would promote beans, well, basically it’s because the company’s CEO, Robert Unanue, is a big supporter of her father. 

“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said at a White House event on Thursday. 

Lots of folks were quick to say they’d no longer support the Hispanic food brand since its chief backed Trump. Thus, we got Ivanka promoting beans like Vanna White. 

The White House, meanwhile, defended the bean tweet on Wednesday, claiming the backlash was “cancel culture.”

As you might imagine after taking one look at that photo, people went absolutely nuts making memes of Trump holding beans. We collected a few here. 

1. A helpful ethics guide

3. A reminder of COVID-19

4. She thinks that is the beans part

5. AOC with a jab

6. The other Goya

7. A Nancy Drew shoutout

9. And finally, see if you can spot Don Jr.
