Ivanka Trump’s awkward photo and tweet promoting Goya prompted a flood of memes, jokes, and outrage on social media.
On Tuesday night, the first daughter tweeted out a shot of herself holding a can of Goya beans — as supporting Goya has been en vogue among the MAGA crowd in recent days after CEO Robert Unanue praised President Donald Trump at the White House.
“If it’s Goya, it has to be good,” Ivanka wrote, captioning the photo. “Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno.”

Already, Ivanka had come under criticism Tuesday for her message to unemployed Americans — imploring them to “Find Something New.” The White House ad campaign led by Ivanka with that slogan was widely derided as tone deaf, and insensitive to the approximately 18 million Americans out of work right now.
The awkward Goya photo made Ivanka’s bad day even worse. Twitter users seized on the awkward pic — with some questioning whether Ivanka had violated federal law, and others taking the opportunity to mock her mercilessly.
Cue the memes, outrage, and mockery!

Has your account been hacked @IvankaTrump? I sure hope so. Because as a White House official – Senior Advisor and all that – surely you know this is a Federal ethics violation? https://t.co/AL8CDWdTSn

Federal officials are barred from using their office “for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise.”
In 2017, Kellyanne Conway was “counseled” by the White House for promoting Ivanka Trump’s fashion line during a live TV appearance from the briefing room. https://t.co/O83hey7RcN

You’re kidding me, right? No ethics left in this White House on issues big or small.

There is exactly zero chance that Donald Trump or Ivanka Trump has ever stopped themselves as they approached a supermarket checkout and thought, “oh, whoops! Almost forgot the Goya beans!”

We can’t have people who work in administrations holding up products and promoting them. It’s unethical. I don’t care if you love or hate the product or stand with or against the product in times of controversy. No official administration rep should be doing product promotion.

I would pay to hear Ivanka try to pronounce “Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno.” https://t.co/ZuTfydt5eG

No, Ivanka, the people outside the White House are chanting “Black LIVES matter,” not black beans. https://t.co/wqgE2NLvqB

Wow it only took a day for Ivanka to reskill and find a new job. https://t.co/ftejd463Bh
