I really hope this won't become some sort of tradition now

Trump looks very aged

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Trump looks like shit.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Continuing a proud tradition.

Fanta originated in Nazi Germany because they couldn’t source the ingredients for the Coke recipe.

"please let us keep doing death squads to union leaders"

Hide-the-pain Trump?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 11 points 21 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 15 hours ago

I second this.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wow he looks bad. Did he lose a bunch of weight? He looks frail. And a lot older.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

Celebratory cocaine

[–] TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I hope he's ok for 2-3ish years. Vance having a real chance at 10 years as POTUS is terrifying

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Vance doesn't have any charisma, though.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

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?

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm gonna piss on his grave.

I'll do rhyming later.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'm gonna piss on his grave

I guarantee that it's true

That one's free.

[–] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'll piss on his grave

And make sure it comes true

Free edit for you as well ✌️

Lol morons paying this dude a million and Coke comes in with a 5 dollar commemorative.

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Lmao right? This cost them nothing. A graphic designer probably whipped this up in a few minutes, print, stick on a bottle, done.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Diet Coke tastes like shit

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 80 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

A graphic designer could whip that up after lunch.

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.

[–] Matthew_Gasoline@lemmy.world 108 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He'll need a NASCAR type jacket, featuring all of his sponsors. I just can't keep up anymore.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 day ago (7 children)

We need that for all the politicians. Only a tiny handful would have blank jackets.

The old gang's getting back together!

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 26 points 1 day ago

It's pathetic watching these bootlickers

[–] harrybo93@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Never seen him looking so fucking old and wrinkled

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

He has the most insincere smile ever. It would be hard to make a real person appear more cartoonishly evil.

[–] quafeinum@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good point, although he looks more creepy than full-blown evil.

[–] quafeinum@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] AnyProgressIsGood@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh look an ad

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

President Donald John Coca-Cola Trump.

He's gonna 🎶fiiiiiix🎶 the economy in only one week!
