Donald Trump made a guest appearance on Twitter.
His photo is a direct source of ridicule.
The ex-president is even accused of hypocrisy.
Palm Beach- It seems like Donald Trump is back on Twitter.
At least it feels a little like that.
But immediately the ex-president is accused of hypocrisy due to a tweet.
On Monday, the ex-US president made a guest appearance on the Twitter account of his senior advisor Stephen Miller.
The photo of the two was taken in Trump's new office in Mar-a-Lago, reports
Business Insider.
But one detail causes displeasure among some Twitter users: inside.
The picture shows an opened Coca-Cola bottle behind Trump's phone.
The problem with this is that Trump only recently urged followers to boycott Coca-Cola.
The reason for this was the new electoral reform in Georgia.
Among other things, this will make postal voting and registration for the election more difficult in the future.
US President Joe Biden had described this as racism of the 21st century, as the new law primarily restricts African-American voters.
The new reform runs "contrary to American values in order to deprive voters of their voting rights," the president said on March 26th.
The Coca-Cola company has also condemned the reform of the electoral law.
Therefore, Donald Trump had called for people to stop consuming the brand's drinks.
But apparently Trump himself does not take part in the boycott.
Just had a terrific meeting with President Trump!

After Trump's call to boycott Coca-Cola - Twitter users are confused
On Saturday, Trump published a statement calling on Republicans and Conservatives to “fight back” against the “voter culture” in the US by promoting companies like Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, Boycott UPS and more who protested Georgia's restrictive new electoral law,
Business Insider
reports
.
But if you look closely at the photo of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, you can see a Coca-Cola bottle.
The picture appeared just days after Trump's call for a boycott.
Apparently, the former US president cannot go without his favorite drink for long.
At the start of Trump's presidency, the
New York Times
revealed
that he drinks about twelve Diet Colas every day.
The picture causes a lot of ridicule on Twitter.
For example, one user wrote: “You mean the former guy.
He is no longer in office.
He also issued a statement saying that Coke should be boycotted, but I guess he meant for 'other people.' ”Another asked,“ Can you find the hidden Diet Coke in this photo? ”Lots of users : inside also accuse the former president of hypocrisy.
SV Dáte, the senior White House correspondent at the
Huffington Post
, also made a comment: “Looks like the Coca-Cola boycott in Mar-a-Lago has not officially started.
Or maybe it wasn't to be taken literally or something. "
Looks like that Coca-Cola boycott hasn't officially started yet at Mar-a-Lago.
Or perhaps he was to be taken seriously not literally or something.

But despite the Coca-Cola in the photo, Trump supporters also comment under the tweet and say that they are boycotting the company even though Trump does not seem to do so: “I have already stopped buying everything they make and will stop doing business with those companies that are causing problems.
My whole family and friends are boycotting them too. "
