The CEO of Coca-Cola presented Trump with a commemorative bottle of Diet Coke for his inauguration, a gesture that speaks to the changing political times.

He rather understated our significance, but even if he’d been right, giving the world Coca-Cola is a greater contributor to human happiness than most other countries have managed to muster.
In yet another sign of how corporate America is happy to be associated with Donald Trump as he takes office a second time, the CEO of Coca-Cola presented Trump with a commemorative bottle of Diet Coke for his inauguration.
