✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends
🥇 Trump’s Scotland Golf Trip Sparks Political & Personal Drama
Ha! Scotland! Their headlines are vicious! I mean… we can’t say they are wrong…
What Happened:
Donald Trump touched down in Scotland for a four-day visit that blends statecraft with self-interest. He’s staying at his Turnberry resort, using the opportunity to open a new golf course in Aberdeen named after his mother. But it’s not all fairways and handshakes—he’s also scheduled for meetings with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss post-Brexit trade deals .
What should be a diplomatic trip has turned into a meme goldmine. Scots aren’t thrilled—over 70% of them disapprove of Trump, and local protests have already begun forming. Trump’s visit isn’t just about swing votes, it’s about swinging clubs while stirring global politics. Social media is ablaze with side-by-side memes of bagpipes and MAGA hats.
Why this is a post opportunity:
Trump content always trends—love him or roast him
Scotland + diplomacy + personal business = satire heaven
Easy to customize for political, travel, or comedy audiences
Post Ideas:
TikTok: “POV: You’re 70% of Scots watching Trump walk off his private jet.”
IG Carousel: “Trump’s Promises vs. Scottish Reality”
X (Twitter): “Is this golf, a Brexit strategy, or both? #TrumpScotland”
CTA:
“What would YOU do if Trump showed up at your local golf course? Be honest 👇”
I’m looking forward to checking it out, not based on Taylor’s endorsement, I’m sure we like different stuff!
What Happened:
Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 launched on Netflix and immediately broke the internet—thanks to a glowing endorsement from Taylor Swift. Her Instagram story labeled it a “13/10” and included a honey emoji, referencing a now-iconic scene where Travis Kelce gets honey drizzled on his torso by Bad Bunny. This isn't a sequel, it's an influencer campaign disguised as comedy.
Swifties lit up the internet with edits and easter eggs, connecting this film to Swift's live lyric change from “Karma is the guy on the screen” to “guy on the Chiefs,” and now—back to screen. The internet LOVES a narrative loop, especially when it involves shirtless tight ends and rom-com logic .
Why this is a post opportunity:
Combines nostalgia (Sandler), current pop obsession (Swift/Kelce), and meme energy
Ideal for Swifties, film TikTok, and couple content
“Karma” lyric lore is now its own genre of content
Post Ideas:
TikTok: Reacting to Kelce’s scene like “Taylor probably watched this 13 times”
IG Carousel: “From ‘guy on the screen’ to ‘guy on the Chiefs’ and back again”
X (Twitter): “Taylor gave it a 13/10. What’s YOUR Happy Gilmore 2 score?”
CTA:
“Rate the movie using Taylor’s scale! 🍯 Who stole the show?”
🥉 Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal Triggers HR Nightmares
What Happened:
A Coldplay concert turned into a corporate exposé when Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught kissing his HR executive on the kiss cam—his wife was notably not the one being smooched. Both parties resigned shortly after the video reached 6M+ views, becoming the poster children for HR violations and viral office drama.
This event isn't just scandalous—it’s a meme tsunami. TikTok reenactments. Branded jokes. Even KFC joined the party with “HR-approved sides” jokes. It’s like The Office meets TMZ—and it’s everywhere.
Why this is a post opportunity:
Instantly relatable to anyone who’s had awkward workplace moments
Blends romance, corporate failure, and music—very postable
Kiss cam content always pops
Post Ideas:
TikTok: “POV: You go viral for the wrong kiss”

X (Twitter): “Ranking the worst places to get caught cheating. Kiss cam is top 3.”
CTA:
“Ever seen workplace drama this messy IRL? Tell us your wildest stories 📹💋”

We’re waiting on the Epstein files? Really?
I keep seeing people say, “Just wait until the Epstein files drop—then we’ll know who Trump really is.” And I’m like… bro, what are we waiting for? The man who literally said “grab 'em by the pussy” on tape? The guy who paid off Stormy Daniels while he was running for president—and then lied about it in public while filing fake business records? That’s your mystery man? That’s the guy you need more paperwork on to make a moral decision?
