Love Island alumni Rykard Jenkins experienced quite the shock recently when he came across a photoshopped picture from his Instagram being used to promote Donald Trump 2020 merch. You’ve gotta laugh, don’t you?

Jenkins took to Twitter to share the side-by-side comparison, which shows the nauseating Trump logo superimposed onto his FXB cap, alongside the caption “Woke up this morning to know I’m the new face for the 2020 @realDonaldTrump campaign?”

This is a rookie move by Trump’s team for a number of reasons. Firstly, if you were going to nab someone’s photo, surely you’d choose someone who didn’t have a high profile and the power to hang you out to dry.
Also, given that Trump’s willing to spend billions on nuclear weapons, you’d assume they’d have a few pennies lying around to invest in a wee, simple photoshoot… But no, instead of simply paying for their own model, they had to resort to a photoshop job that looks like it was done by one of their interns on Microsoft Paint.
Once again, the Trump administration have proven how trustworthy they are.
After receiving a few recommendations to find legal representation, Jenkins came up with his own solution:
