The newest trend on Instagram involves one-piece swimsuits. The suits are emblazoned with “Make American Great Again,” the slogan now president Donald Trump used during his campaign, and the number of photos women are posting is actually astounding. All you have to do is follow the hashtags to bold nationalistic and sex-driven patriotism. It’s as cringeworthy as imagined to those unable to toss their support behind Donald Trump. The social media Instagram account @BabeforTrump collects images of female Trump supporters wearing a $39.95 metallic-blue suit displaying the design of the president’s campaign poster, sold by AAF Nation. Interestingly though, the trend is catching on. “We were the first to make MAGA swimsuits, and we’ve sold more than 10,000 of them in June,” AAF Nation owner Shawn Wylde tells Yahoo Style. “We did it because a bunch of women kept asking us to make them since we are known for patriotic and funny political apparel.” But it isn’t just Instagram that’s seeing the trend. Twitter is abuzz as well. The Nevada-based retailer Printed Kicks also sells a $59.99 backless, scoop-necked version (marked down from $119.98) with the tagline, “You believe his vow to Make America Great Again, and you want to show it off! We designed this MAGA Swimsuit so you could proudly declare your support of our 45th President.” (A representative from Printed Kicks did not return Yahoo Style’s request for comment.) There is likely to be at least some backlash against those showing their support for the 45th president, and all one has to do is venture into the comments section of any of the pictures posted above to see it. This trend is a little odd but probably done mostly to irritate those on the left. It almost leaves one wondering what the online antics would have looked like had this been the time of a Hillary presidency… Statists (of both left and right varieties) are incredibly strange. It’s like they’ve taken the obscenity of fake patriotism, added the obnoxious anti-intellectualism of Trumpism and plastered it on a crotch cover for posterity. (True Dat!)

Seems hard to believe that women want to make themselves into an ugly beach billboard but whatever floats their boat, I guess.
