Donald Trump is complaining about the woke “cancel culture,” he’s pretty much the king of that area, Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday.
Trump is asking for a boycott of Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines, along with Major League Baseball. Coke and Delta, headquartered in Atlanta, have published statements thumping on Georgia’s new law which makes it more challenging to vote in the state. MLB is going its All-Star Game out of Atlanta to protest the same law.
“Donald Trump calling for a Coca-Cola boycott is beautiful,” Kimmel said. “He had a Diet Coke button on his desk at the Oval Office. The man urinates aspartame, okay?”
“It’s especially funny because, with all of his complaining about cancel culture, this guy is trying to cancel more culture than anybody ever,” Kimmel said.
Kimmel also revealed a photo tweeted by Stephen Miller on Monday from a visit with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago office. There was a bottle of Diet Coke tucked behind Trump’s phone:
Trump called for a ban on Coke 3 days ago.

The funniest thing about this is that Miller just wrote a long thread calling on the head of the MLB to resign (or cancelling him, as the kids say), and then inadvertently exposes the fact Trump can't be bothered to commit to his own Coke boycott. pic.twitter.com/rnNRDyhIsy
