Origin

An image purporting to show a new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream released to commemorate President Donald Trump (called “ImPeachMint”) appeared on social media shortly after the 2016 presidential election, and circulated widely thereafter:

Neither of these ice creams were offcially produced by Ben & Jerry’s.
