Trump probably called the CEO who presented him with the commemorative inauguration bottle of Diet Coke and told him “You should switch back to cane sugar!” Whereupon the CEO said, “Well, we do some product with cane sugar every year. I’ll be sure and pass the idea along,” hoping that would end the phone call sooner.

And it did! Before the line was even disconnected, Donny was tip tapping his message out on Truth Social with his tiny little fingers.

Congratulations, James Coca-Cola! You just got Trumped.
