(CNN)Donald Trump supporters have started asking for their Starbucks drinks under Trump's name as a movement against the coffee giant.

After a viral video showing a Trump supporter yelling at a barista gained traction on Wednesday, other supporters have banded together to protest what they view as political and anti-white discrimination.

The man in the video told the Miami Herald that he was racially discriminated against and that the barista wouldn't serve him because she knew he was a Trump supporter.

1. So if I say that my name is "DumpTrump",

how would that work?

[LongTomH]

14. "Why did you tell the barista your name was DumpTrump??"

"Because they objected to FuckTrump!"

[Grassy Knoll]

2. LOL..

[Ligyron]

3. Why any one in Miami or South Florida would buy Starbucks

when there's great Cuban coffee available everywhere for half the price is beyond me.

Actually, I like Starbucks too - make mine a redeye!

4. Best response I saw to this was to tell the baristas to write Trump on the bottom of the cup.

Then tell the fools to look for it there.

5. or how about T-Rump?

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Better yet, "F Trump"?

The spelling would go over their heads.

[Delphinus]

Thank you for that!

[meow2u3]

16. The DENSA society strikes again!

[neeksgeek]

17. How about ordering drinks in the name "liberal"???

As a counter protest.

[etherealtruth]

18. Proving once again, tRump supporters are America's best and brightest

That's right ... hit them where it hurts by buying their product

You really can't make this stuff up

[riversedge]

19. Turns out the man has a history of making trouble at Starbucks and a police record and has

apologized. The man is a mental case and needs help. Hope he does not have access to guns.

David Sanguesa said he was having a bad day.

But it seems Sanguesa has had many bad days. Wednesday was just the latest. That was the day he was captured on video angrily yelling “Trump!” and “I voted for Trump!” at a barista at a Coral Gables Starbucks when he felt he didn’t get his tall vanilla latte quickly enough because he is white. Then he demanded his money back, calling her “trash” and “garbage.”

Previous bad days: the one in 2008 when he was arrested on a DUI charge. The one a week later when he was again charged with DUI. And the day in 2014 when he was charged with domestic violence, which was later dropped. And there were all those days, going back years, when he emailed the Miami Herald with rants against Cubans, women, immigrants, gays and lesbians, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Sanguesa, 53, was identified Thursday after the video went viral. He told the Miami Herald he had apologized to Starbucks — then did a quick turnaround threatening to sue the company for discrimination and causing him to lose business.

“I had a bad day. I was wrong for screaming at her. I have since apologized,” Sanguesa said Thursday morning........................
