Here's President Trump toasting the UN with a wine glass full of Diet Coke
President Trump once tweeted, "I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke."
While at the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, however, Trump let the waiter pour him a big ol' Diet Coke -- and into a wine glass at that.
The optics of the resulting photos are alarmingly bad -- especially since the president already had the whole world laughing at him earlier in the day.
Let's get a few things straight: The separation between regular glasses and wine glasses is arbitrary. And no one should shame the president for not drinking booze. It sends the wrong message to the millions of people out there who don't drink but love fancy schmancy glassware.
I, for one, love chocolate milk served in a whiskey tumbler.
But couldn't the president have ordered a big boy drink like water at lunch? Even regular Coke would work. Did we really need him doing ... whatever this is?
According to Omarosa, the president supposedly drinks twelve Diet Cokes a day. Thank you, Omarosa, for your investigative journalism.
To the rest of the world, we apologize. One day we'll have a president who knows what the good drinks are again.
