Former US President Donald Trump has ignited fresh controversy with a social media post featuring the cryptocurrency Dogecoin alongside the phrase 'Big Balls'. The timing of the post, coinciding with the deployment of National Guard troops in Washington DC, has drawn sharp criticism.
The meme, shared on Truth Social, depicted Trump's face superimposed on an image of the cartoon dog from Dogecoin alongside the provocative caption. Critics have slammed the post as inappropriate given the serious nature of the National Guard deployment.
Timing Raises Eyebrows
The controversial post appeared as National Guard members were being activated in the US capital, though the exact reason for their deployment remains unclear. Political analysts suggest the ill-timed meme could further alienate moderate voters ahead of the 2024 election cycle.
Mixed Reactions Online
Social media responses have been divided, with some Trump supporters celebrating the post as typical of his unconventional style, while others called it 'tone-deaf' and 'juvenile'. The incident marks another chapter in Trump's complicated relationship with cryptocurrency, having previously both praised and criticized digital currencies during his presidency.
As the story develops, political observers are watching to see whether this latest controversy will have any lasting impact on Trump's public image or political ambitions.
