Donald Trump calls for a boycott of Coca Cola, but continues to drink it. And Twitter goes wild
After baseball, Donald Trump calls for a boycott of all large corporations that have protested Georgia's tightening of voting rights, resulting in (according to him) his electoral defeat. Among the companies, Trump also directly accuses Coca Cola, a pity then in a photo yesterday we see the former president of the United States portrayed in his new office in Mar-a-Lago with his favorite carbonated drink. What betrayed him was an image posted on Twitter by his former adviser Stephen Miller visiting Donald.
Trump appears smiling behind his desk, and, even if hidden, it is impossible not to notice the unmistakable shape of the classic Diet Coke bottle behind a telephone. On social networks the irony of many users is unleashed: "It seems that the boycott of Coca Cola has not yet officially begun in Mar-a Lago".

Trump's speech against multinationals
"Boycott all" woke "companies that do not want voter identification and free and fair elections," said the former president in a frontal attack on groups like Coca Cola and Delta Air Lines, which have their own headquarters in Atlanta, and, also prompted by threats of boycotts of the opposite sense, in recent days have criticized the passage of the law. Trump's attack comes after that of the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, who also used in a derogatory sense the term "woke", usually used for those who become aware of issues related to racial justice.
In the statement, released by his Super Pac, Save America, Trump defended the controversial law, even stating that he should have gone even further in restricting access to the vote and that the one signed by Governor Kemp is "a watered down version" of the original text . "This law had to be approved before the presidential elections of 2020, not after," he concluded, still complaining about the alleged, and never proven, electoral fraud that would have resulted in his defeat.
