About
Disgusting, Nipples Protruding refers to a 2011 tweet by former United States President Donald Trump in which he commented on congressman Barney Frank's appearance. In 2019, the tweet resurfaced when Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump made an appearance at the United Nations. The phrase has since been used online as a reaction and a phrasal template.
Origin
On December 21st, 2011, future United States President Donald Trump made a tweet[1] in which he commented on U.S. congressman Barney Frank's recent appearance in Congress, noting how his nipples were visible through his shirt. The tweet (shown below, left) received over 21,000 retweets and 30,000 likes in 10 years before Trump's account was removed. After Donald Trump was elected president, the tweet appeared in several collections of Trump's tweets and was widely reposted online, including a version where it was paired with the photograph of Barney Frank (shown below, right).[2]
Spread
On September 23rd, 2019, Twitter user DMR09 shared two photographs of Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump at the United Nations in which her nipples were visible through her shirt. On the same day, Twitter[3] user @MikeyTBH quote tweeted the post with Donald Trump's 2011 tweet, with the post gaining over 150 retweets and 430 likes in three years (shown below, left). On September 24th, 2019, at least two more similar tweets[4][5] were shared (shown below center and rigth).
On January 5th, 2020, following the assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani by the United States forces, Facebook[6] page Shadilay Watkins 2 posted the earliest derivative meme based on the tweet, with the post gaining over 340 reactions and 30 shares in two years (cropped image shown below).
The tweet was again used in late March 2020 to comment on the Andrew Cuomo's Nipplegate photograph. For example, on March 30th, 2020, Twitter[7] user @alexjs85 made a tweet that received 400 retweets and over 4,300 likes in two years (shown below).
In 2021 and 2022, the catchphrase was used both as a reaction and a phrasal template, primarily on Twitter and Facebook.
