Donald Trump still drinks Coca Cola despite asking his supporters to boycott him
Former US President Donald Trump may have found himself in the soup. Or in this case, in a soft drink controversy. Donald Trump got into trouble after a photo surfaced showing his apparent hypocrisy regarding diet coke. The criticism began after he was photographed with what appeared to be a bottle of Coke Light on his desk, days after urging his supporters to boycott Coca-Cola for opposing the new US state voting restrictions of Georgia. Donald Trump's love of soda hasn't been a secret, but the photo internet detectors have found appears to show that Trump, perhaps for the first time, was indeed hiding his bottle of soda. .
Twitter users spotted the bottle of diet coke behind a phone on the desk where Donald Trump sat, behind a phone, in a photo posted to Twitter by former Trump aide Stephen Miller, Miller in his post wrote that he had a "great meeting" with the smiling former president of his resort town of Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

Internet detectors were quick.
Over the weekend, Trump issued a statement calling for boycotts against Coca-Cola and other businesses and organizations speaking out against Georgia's voting restrictions. "It's finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back - we have more people than them - by far!" Huffpost reports.
Trump's love for diet coke, however, is no secret. President Trump had a button on his desk in the Oval Office that summons a butler to bring him a coke. The former president reportedly pressed the button when he needed refreshment and a member of staff brought him a glass of diet coke on a silver platter. Former White House aide Chris Sims also wrote about the same in his book Team of Vipers. Trump is even said to have played pranks on his visitors to the Oval Office by saying that it was related to the nuclear weapons arsenal and that when his staff brought the coke, he laughed.
The White House welcomed a different president in January and since then a wave of change has occurred as Joe Biden took office as the best man in the house. The big red button that once featured prominently in the President's Office in the Oval Office appears to have failed either and has been removed.
