Social Media Mocks Trump Over Diet Coke Picture After Previously Tweeting He's 'Never Seen A Thin Person Drinking Diet Coke'
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Donald Trump might want to check his old tweets before drinking a Diet Coke in public.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee posted a photo on Instagram where he's eating McDonald's and drinking a Diet Coke after The Associated Press and CBS News reported that he secured the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination.
