I really hope this won't become some sort of tradition now
Everyone is lining up to kiss his puckered arsehole.
I doubt it’s puckered at that age unfortunately
Like goatse, his turds fall freely
It would've cost $0 not to have made this comment.
Gives another meaning to the log cabin republicans
Smooth as a barry sax riff.
I've seen a lot of wild shit on the internet, but cocktail of incontinent seepage and Putin's cum is right up there with the wildest
We used to just call it Santorum
My wife and I have been paying attention to which companies are making significant donations to conservatives, and have been avoiding doing business with them, but now it's getting tough as everyone is expected to kiss the ring. It's about to the point where it might be easier to make a list of companies that haven't.
Right on the lips you say?
He'll need a NASCAR type jacket, featuring all of his sponsors. I just can't keep up anymore.
We need that for all the politicians. Only a tiny handful would have blank jackets.
What if we put the stocks their trading as well?
Great idea! A little stock ticker! Throw some LED lights on that bitch like it’s an outfit for a rave!
We need to make this brilliant idea a real thing. Great project for people who are good at and enjoy photo manipulation.
Based on my experience with humans, the ruling class would probably get this turned around to the point where people vote based on how popular various brand names are. It might even reduce the amount it takes to buy or rent a politician if certain logos make them more likely to win.
Even today, I bet a good portion of his cult would just call all that money an example of how good a business man he is, with the assumption that good business man = good leader.
Another prediction is that dummy companies will pop up with good looking mission statements and money to give to candidates who might actually be good ones, only for scandals to break about the company after the name gets associated with the politician.
We can't have nice things.
Good points, thanks.
This would be a good use case for AR—just slip on your glasses and see all their sponsors’ logos adjusted to scale according to the size of their

I'm seeing it as a white, blue, and red jacket. Almost flag like for the country he represents. It's got the same colors as the US flag, enough for denying it's the Russian flag, but showing his true allegiance.
It was a lot of people's jobs for months now creating some special bottle and box for this PR moment... none of this should exist. It reminds me of stories about the Middle Ages, where people would come before the king and shower them with gifts to make sure they are appeased.
A graphic designer could whip that up after lunch.
It's not even a good box. Kings are rolling in their graves, truly the worst timeline on many fronts.
Apparently Coke does this shit for every presidential elecrion and governors too but this is the only time it was diet and hand delivered by the ceo.
Never seen him looking so fucking old and wrinkled
To be fair, he is older than ever before.
Actually I think some of it is the weight he's lost recently.
But I am looking forward to him being dead, yes.
Fuck, me too
Yea I noticed that he looked thinner. I’m hoping that’s due to failing health.
Ozempic probably.
Think it's wegovy? I think it's wegovy.
-someone who is on wegovy
I, too, am older than ever before.
He will be the oldest president ever to take office. Older than even Reagan or Biden
Till 88 year old president Nancy Pelosi takes reigns in 2028 with vice president George W Bush at her side.
Oh look an ad
Lol morons paying this dude a million and Coke comes in with a 5 dollar commemorative.
Lmao right? This cost them nothing. A graphic designer probably whipped this up in a few minutes, print, stick on a bottle, done.
It cost them at least one lifelong customer.
I'm sure they paid for this massive photo op in more than a single bottle of coke.
Yeah. 5 dollars more (the commemorative, duh) 😂
They all know to play this dumb bastards ego
I bet the back of the bottle says only people with very large hands and a big a-brain can possess it
Apparently someone loves to lick boots and give some a handie under the table.
If you get the rights to lower the ground water level even more during a drought, selling the water to the thirsty population in plastic bottles?
Ka-Tsching Baby....
That's why the guy put his right hand on the table... Prevent rumors.
Maybe Pepsi is ok.
Coke is shit now, fascism soda. Relationship ended with Coke, Pepsi is new best soda.
Never forget Fanta.
It's like everyone forgot that Pepsi stopped George floydd protests and passed sweeping justice system reform. /$
Nazi Germany and Coca-Cola: An Unholy Alliance
The old gang's getting back together!
I'm a "no, Pepsi isn't ok" guy, but I'm never drinking Coke again. Because from now on it tastes like kissing Trump's ass.
Yeah, gave up Pepsi over their continued involvement in Russia, now I'm giving up Coke over their involvement with a Russian stooge.
I'm at RC right now.
Do yourself a favor and drink water instead. Your teeth and testicles will thank you
Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm gonna piss on his grave.
I'll do rhyming later.
That one's free.
Free edit for you as well ✌️
Why ruin a perfectly good anti joke tho
Celebratory cocaine
I hope he's ok for 2-3ish years. Vance having a real chance at 10 years as POTUS is terrifying
I was about to say "Vance is such a weak personality he could never be elected" and then i remembered how useless the Dems are so who fucking knows.
He's guaranteed because the Republican-led states will make sure he gets their EC votes regardless of how the populace actually votes. There will be nothing to stop them any more.
I think the country is fucked as well, but I don't think the gop can deliver the cuop de grace to democracy in the US in a single presidential term.
Personally I think it's a matter of time before there is an uprising from the citizens, it won't matter who runs the government when capitalism finally catches up to the majority of the population, you can't believe in bootstraps when every person you know is living paycheck to paycheck.
Vance doesn't have any charisma, though.
And somehow Trump, who allegedly reeks of old ketchup and shit, spouts constant nonsense, and looks like the skin of a dried hot dog, does?
No thanks. Hamburger heart attack "day JUAN!"
It's pathetic watching these bootlickers
Weirdest part to me is that I really can't believe that he's drinking Diet Coke and not regular Coke. I know there's concerns about diet sodas, but that shows a concern about his health and what he puts in his body that I never imagined Trump was capable of.
Naw, I think it's because he specifically enjoys diet coke more. If I want a soda, it's diet coke or nothing. I'm in good health, but diet coke tastes great while regular coke almost makes me feel ill from the thick syrup.
Same. The only thing that calms the beast that lives in my soul is the sweet embrace of aspartame. I cant even really drink mixed drinks with non diet soda. Sugar Free Redbull and Vodka just hits so good.
My behaviors shouldn't be emulated 😅
I'm now 9 years sober, by back in my day I would do redbull + tequila as my hair of the dog drink of choice. Cause if I survived one, I felt great.
Is it because US coke has corn syrup instead of cane sugar?
It's a factor. Coke, Diet Coke, and Coke Zero all taste different regardless so individual preferences are guaranteed.
Yes.
I can't stand American Coke but if I ever see the bottles of Mexican Coke then I'll get that.
Not that I like the man but I believe he's also been against alcohol life long? Definitely has some concern with what he consumes.
Not trying to defend the taste. I hate the taste of diet coke myself, but I don't know what it is about that diet soda specifically. I have met many people in real life and through the internet that just fucking LOVE diet coke. Idk why, but they drink 3-5 cans a day. I am working with one now that had to stop drinking for health reasons and she was talking about how she missed the taste a couple weeks ago.
Diet Coke lovers are a dedicated breed.
People just love getting addicted to shit. We are all guilty of it. We equate the dopamine rush with actual enjoyment of things. I'm not sure I actually like anything, so much as it's my brain tricking me.
This is a little tongue in cheek, but also a little not.
I'm not sure how much chemical tweaking they did on aspartame, but I suspect it ended up being overfitted to their test group because I can't stand the taste of it. It just tastes a bit off to me, like there's some undesirable chemical in there.
Stevia was disappointing for me because the ones granulated like white sugar also have that flavour. Maybe it's from traces of whatever solvent was used to extract it from the plant.
I'd rather have water than any diet soda.
Coke has been doing this every year.
He probably wanted to be special and the ability to say "First DIET coke inaugural bottle"
From the comments here, it seems like his plan of making people think Coke is doing it to endorse him is working.
Diet Coke tastes like shit
President Donald John Coca-Cola Trump.
He's gonna 🎶fiiiiiix🎶 the economy in only one week!
I really hate that movie turned out to be prophecy more than I expected it to.
I would take Camacho over Trump in a heartbeat!
Camacho actually cared about his people.
Truth be told, I'd 100% prefer headlines like this over other nonsense that goes on.
The headline is still: “Company sucks up to Trump because line must go up” no different than most.
They're doing it in a harmless way and getting cheap publicity from playing him. Honestly this doesn't bug me nearly as much as the donations.
I admire the hustle.
"Lol look at those suckers spending millions and not even getting a mention in the footnote. We printed a label and a fancy box, $20 tops, got a free photo op and a smile out of old boy himself. I expect a 300% pay rise next year."
I agree.
This also isn't 2016.
The American voting public knew what they were voting for and they cast their ballots and gave Trump a presidency and a Congressional majority.
Businesses are responding to the changed political reality. And we also know how businesses operate, in an amoral fashion.
If anyone thought Coca-Cola was some paragon of virtue, then they were naive.
No one is saying that, and also there’s a big difference between a commemorative coke bottle (harmless) and removing moderation from your social media platform (meta, x) and allowing people to harass queers (harmful).
Of all the ring kisses, these one is the least bad. I don't think anyone thought the company that made that uncanny AI Christmas commercial is virtuous lol
Yeah I really don't know what people expected from a company that just released 3 AI made commercials (each nightmare-ish) as celebratory ads for people's most beloved holiday in the west.
Honestly that should have been people's final straw not adjusting their normal inauguration coke to be diet which is just gross for a couple reasons.
It's misleading
This is the first diet coke, not the first inaugural coke.
So "Company continues its tradition with making a special inaugural coke bottle"
Them not doing it would be more of a political statement
I mean Jelly Belly had a whole thing with Regan. Maybe not the best president to provide a counter example, but it's really seems like a company just playing into a president's favorite foods.
Coke does an inaugural bottle for every president
This is just the first diet one
Oh didn't realize that, so even more of just a simple PR thing. Honestly I've got no issue with that.
"Company responsible for world's obesity and death gets free advertisement."
Don’t forget using right wing paramilitary forces to murder labor leaders in South America! Because coke also did that
what a relief. it's the least worst scenario today
A propaganda boy, and in more than one sense.
The next four years are going to be very interesting to watch. If the first try was disastrous, the second is poised to be even worst.
America, you were once a country that could muster respect.
Were they, though...?
A long, long, time ago.
In a galaxy how far away?
Far, far, away.
He has the most insincere smile ever. It would be hard to make a real person appear more cartoonishly evil.
Have you met Mr beast?
Good point, although he looks more creepy than full-blown evil.
Idk man.. his lifeless eyes and his fake grin knowing full well that he’s full of shit and exploits children for profit sounds fucking evil tbh
That's a real smile for once, it looks weird because he has wooden teeth.
Marketing rule #1, know your market. Note that you don't need to actually need to have taken marketing classes to know this. So congratulations on doing what anyone with more than two brain cells could figure out, ya rich CEO jackass.
Trump looks like shit.
You are what you eat I guess.
Dude's like a billion
Accurate.
They look like they want to hold hands
Hands above the table, trembling with desire.

Continuing a proud tradition.
Fanta originated in Nazi Germany because they couldn’t source the ingredients for the Coke recipe.
Whenever there's a new photo I zoom in to see how old/senile/dead he looks. Most of his publicity photos are 8 years old and he's aged a lot since then.
Just wait until he gets his inaugural Big Mac.
Nah he was waaaaaayyy happier standing In front of all that Macca's the last time he was in.
Who did Coke order a genocide on? A bit extra for a every day bribe.
Coca Cola is so problematic the problems have their own wiki page.
Im guessing besides knowing how this guy like kiss ups there is also things like this are bought for air force one so maybe hes trying to make a sale.
Killer coke
"please let us keep doing death squads to union leaders"
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump looks very aged
DIET!?!?!?
A virgin Cuba Libre?
Bottle needed more gold if they wanted Trump to display it anywhere.
Same style as every other inaugural coke
Oh! I didn't realize they did this for others. I see.... It's the first inaugural "Diet" Coke. Thanks!
You know he's a monster when he chooses Diet Coke over Coke Zero.
Hide-the-pain Trump?
Was a Pepsi guy anyway.
Let me get this right. He's winning a paper commercial label with gum on it?

I think I have seen something like that already
Yuck.
Black people told you
It's been 6 hours, DEI, antifa or something got to this patriot before they could finish their truthsocial post! We must never stop the hunt for this terrorist scum. /$
?
Pepsi targeted black people with their product at a time when Coke didn’t want their product to be seen being drunk by black people
Pepsi had hired black people to run the marketing campaign and showed black people in a positive light rather than caricatures. One of those hired even went on to become VP of the company which at the time was the highest position someone of colour had been in an American megacorp
My comment was about how we all knew Coke was racist and Pepsi was legit
Oh god Reddit and Lemmy must be seething right now. Delicious.
You clearly spend all day licking boots. How does one endure that?
True enough. You just sort of tolerate it.
I hope your car slides off the road.
I love it when you talk dirty to me. Gets my meat suit all wet.
At the end of the day someone has to donate hotdog casings.
