I donāt think they understand how āwhistleblowerā worksā¦
Today, the people of the world said they couldnāt imagine a bigger self-own than Drake releasing a diss track titled What Did I Miss?. Donald Trump said, āHold my Diet Coke.ā
It certainly doesnāt help that despite him not wanting people to talk about it, he just canāt stop talking about it which just throws fuel back on to the fire. Is he just that stupid? Or is this a strategy to keep people talking about this and consequently bury all the other horrible shit going on right now. I honestly donāt even know anymore with this fucking guy.
I guess sheāll be releasing the Epstein Files now.

Whew! That needed one correction - a mixup between Ivana and Ivanka. Also, hereās the Liberal Redneck on this topic:
I think itās a combination of stupidity and arrogance. He has no sense of right and wrong, he just wants people to praise him no matter what. Part of him wants to be open about it and have people simply not care (because whatās the big deal, nothing HE does could be wrong), but failing that, he wants to have the power to tell people to stop talking about it and simply be obeyed without question. Since heās never faced serious consequences for anything heās done, he lacks any sense of caution or fear, and so he obliviously keeps bringing it up. He could stay silent and it might go away, but his infantile personality wants instant gratification and ego-stroking, so he canāt help but whine and complain continually when heās not getting his way, too dumb to realize that heās prolonging the issue.
I wonder where all that sugar cane will come from and how much it will cost American sugar drinkers.
The reason Coke (etc.) use corn syrup is because of the corn subsidies. Does this mean the corn subsidies are going away? (It would be the perfect cap on all the other damage Trump has done to rural Americaā¦)
Also, they already sell Coke made with sugar in US stores - but itās known (and apparently labeled?) as āMexican Coke.ā So I donāt know if the company is going to do nothing, just change the name of āMexican Cokeā to āSugar Cokeā (or whatever), or - less probably - change the formula (and cost) for all American Coke.
Also also, Trump famously drinks Diet Coke. Does he think it has sugar in it?
Changing Cokeās formula⦠what could go wrong?
Thatās my first thought as well the reason we have so much corn syrup is because the corn lobby is huge and powerful. It also covers several red states that are important to Republicans. Pissing off that lobby seems like a bold choice.
Mexican Coke is objectively better than American Coke, and itās not even hard to get.
Iām sure Americaās corn farmers are going to be thrilled with tangerine palpatine pushing for cane sugar coke over HFCS, subsidies or no.
Of course, if he ever gets around to eliminating ethanol mandates for gasoline, they will be positively livid. Leopards and allā¦
But, yeah, Iām sure Coke execs were ecstatic that all they had to do to appease Cheetolini was keep doing what theyāre already doing. Maybe change the can and bottle art a little.
And immediately hit with 50% tariffs on Brazilian sugarā¦
Iām calling it now. Theyāre going to call it Coke of America.
Thatās what will convince them to grow sugar cane in America instead!
