\"Kyiv<\/p>\n

A coffee shop in Kyiv called “Trump” is rebranding to “Nolan” as Ukrainians grow increasingly frustrated with U.S. President Donald Trump’s stance on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Located in the capital’s central Pechersk district, the establishment was opened in 2019 and in January of this year celebrated Trump’s<\/a> inauguration with a special “Trump sour” cocktail. <\/p>\n

It was an apt name in hindsight as since then things have only soured further \u2014 the now infamous Oval Office showdown, the subsequent halting of U.S.<\/a> military aid and intelligence, and the White House’s wooing of Russia<\/a> have left many Ukrainians disillusioned with Trump’s efforts to end Moscow’s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n

“I pass by this place every morning, and the name always triggers me,” 22-year-old local Daryna Zdzeba told the Kyiv Independent outside the cafe.<\/p>\n

Roman Kravtsov, creative director of Nolan, admired Trump<\/a> as a businessman and had hoped his policies after taking office for the second time would favor Ukraine.<\/p>\n

But in light of recent events, it was decided the name had to go. “I don’t want to dwell on the past,” he told the Kyiv Independent.<\/p>\n

Kravtsov also insists the name was at least partly inspired by holding a “trump card” in a game like poker, but pictures on the cafe’s Facebook page show it has regularly leaned heavily into the Trump angle \u2014 coffee cups and packaging have featured a stamp of Trump wearing a vyshyvanka, a traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt.<\/p>\n

Kravtsov is also involved with another establishment \u2014 a pizzeria that is also changing its name to “Nolan,” and has removed a pizza from the menu that was called the “Trumpino.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\n“I hope there’s an impeachment. That’s how I feel about Trump.”\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Kravtsov compares this rebranding to a shift after Ukraine’s 2013-2014 EuroMaidan Revolution<\/a>, a pro-Western, pro-democracy uprising also known as the Revolution of Dignity. “Back then, a well-known beer chain changed its name from a Russian word to something more international,” he said. <\/p>\n

“We’re doing the same now. And it’s not just about the name \u2014 it’s about real changes.”<\/p>\n

In protest of Trump’s actions, Ukrainians began jokingly avoiding Americanized names, calling an Americano “Ukrainiano” or “Europiano” instead. <\/p>\n

A similar phenomenon has occurred in some Canadian cafes which started serving “Canadiano” in Toronto and British Columbia following Trump’s comments about making Canada the 51st state of the U.S.<\/p>\n

At Nolan however, the Americano will be staying on the menu. <\/p>\n

“Renaming the Americano doesn’t make sense,” Kravtsov says. “It’s a historic name that comes from Italy.”<\/p>\n

For 22-year-old Maria, who asked not to mention her last name, an English teacher who works near the coffee shop, the cafe\u2019s name never mattered much. <\/p>\n

“I come here because I like the coffee and cheesecakes,” she says. <\/p>\n

But sipping their coffees, Maria and Zdzeba say Trump’s Ukraine policy is “just dreadful.” <\/p>\n

They describe his Oval Office meeting with Zelensky<\/a> as feeling like “a school bullies’ gathering.” <\/p>\n

“I hope there’s an impeachment. That’s how I feel about Trump,” Maria adds.<\/p>\n
