Donald Trump is attempting to divert attention from escalating issues surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files by announcing on Truth Social that Coca-Cola is switching to REAL cane sugar in the United States. While Trump expressed enthusiasm, Coca-Cola did not substantiate his claim and instead lauded his enthusiasm in a vague statement. Soon after, the company defended its use of corn syrup following assertions that the proposed sugar switch would be a victory for the 'MAHA' movement, complicating Trump's narrative and leaving ambiguity surrounding the situation.
Donald Trump expressed excitement about Coca-Cola potentially switching to REAL Cane Sugar in the U.S., claiming credit for this change in a Truth Social post. Despite his enthusiasm, Coca-Cola did not confirm his claim, instead responding with a non-committal statement that praised his enthusiasm, before later defending its use of corn syrup and clarifying the situation. Trump's announcement appeared as an attempt to divert attention from the swirling Jeffrey Epstein files scandal, but this strategy seemingly did not resonate with his MAGA supporters.
Coca-Cola Company was quick to respond to Trump's claims about the sugar switch by initially releasing a non-committal statement appreciating his enthusiasm. However, following media framing that linked the announcement to a win for the 'MAHA' movement, the company had to clarify its position and defended its choice of corn syrup, causing confusion over the claims made by Trump.
