From Fox Business: Coca-Cola Company chairman and CEO James Quincey presented President-elect Donald Trump with a special bottle of Diet Coke ahead of the upcoming inauguration.
Trump’s affinity for Diet Coke is well-known.
“The Coca-Cola Company has a tradition of creating commemorative Coca-Cola bottles in celebration of U.S. presidential inaugurations, dating back to 2005. James Quincey, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, met with President Elect Donald Trump to present a commemorative bottle of Diet Coke and to highlight Coca-Cola’s contributions to the U.S. economy,” a Coca-Cola Company spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“With over 60 bottling partners, we generate $58 billion in U.S. economic activity and support 860,000 jobs annually. This meeting reinforces our commitment to strengthening America’s economic future.”
According to the report, the Coca-Cola company will not be making the special bottles available for sale to the public, but “a limited quantity of Diet Coke bottles commemorating the 47th President of the United States will be distributed to the White House, as well as inauguration events.”
Trump’s Deputy Director of Communications Margo Martin posted photos on social media, and announced, “Tonight, President Trump received the first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle from the Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company, James Quincey 🇺🇸.”

During Trump’s first term in office, he had a “red button” on his desk in the Oval Office. When pressed, an aide would bring him a coke.
Reportedly, the red button will be returning to the Oval Office when Trump returns in 5 days.

It has been well established that Trump loves Coca Cola. In October 2012, he joked in a Twitter post, “I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.”

A day later, Trump added, “Lots of response to my comment on Diet Coke- let’s face it, it doesn’t work- just makes you hungry.”
