Donald Trump has many celebrity fans, but few have gone as far as tattooing the former president’s face on their leg.
Lil Pump—real name Gazzy Garcia—is being criticized online after getting Trump’s mugshot inked on his thigh, with the rapper sharing the artwork on Instagram on Tuesday.
“MAGA usus,” the rapper, 23, wrote alongside the snap, which prompted mixed reactions online.
“Cringe,” commented Danny on X, formerly Twitter.
“Anything for attention i guess,” said jonny.
“He wants to be relevant so bad,” wrote ais.
“Getting another dudes portrait tattooed on your upper thigh is odd my man,” said Zach.
“Thats just weird,” agreed Mel.
Opium called the tattoo “Awful,” while Mike Dean just commented a series of vomit emojis.
However, some others loved the design, with @millennial_republicans calling Lil Pump a “legend.”
“Pump with trump,” said Jackson Hahn on Instagram.
“The Trump Train won’t be stopped!” wrote JH.
“It’s a good day to be an American,” said CB Mix.
Donald Trump Jr. also gave his seal of approval, commenting “Hell yea.”
Newsweek has reached out to Lil Pump for comment via Instagram and Donald Trump by email.
Lil Pump has been a long-time supporter of Trump. The “Gucci Gang” rapper endorsed the business mogul during his second run for president, despite reportedly not registering to vote.
Lil Pump posted a photo of himself with Trump to Instagram in October 2020.
“THE DAY I MET TRUMP #trump202022020,” he wrote alongside the snap.
He hit out at then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in an obscenity-laden clip, condemning his suggested tax rate for high earners.
The musician’s love for Trump surprised many of his followers, who described the endorsement as “unexpected” on social media.
Lil Pump even donned a MAGA hat and joined Trump on stage for one of his campaign rallies. However, while introducing the VMA nominee to the crowd, Trump accidentally referred to him as “Lil Pimp,” with the nickname following the star around ever since.
Despite the name mix-up, Lil Pump threatened to leave the country if Trump wasn’t reelected. However, he still resides in his native Florida, recently selling his Miami mansion to Green Bay Packers’ running back Aaron Jones.
In December, Lil Pump reiterated his support for the real estate magnate after bumping into him at a UFC fight in Las Vegas. He shared a selfie with Trump on Instagram, dubbing him “The greatest president of all time.”
