New Trump Audio Features 1 Weird Shoutout That People Just Can't Get Over
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Donald Trump loves Diet Coke so much that he reportedly had a button on his desk in the Oval Office for summoning the beverage during his presidency. Now, the soft drink is playing a sudden and unexpected role in the classified documents scandal, getting a surprise shoutout in incriminating new audio of the former president.
In the audio, obtained by CNN, Trump admits to having classified documents after leaving the White House, and to knowing that they were still classified.
“It’s incredible, right?” Trump crows in the recording, then says to someone: “Hey, bring some Cokes in please.”
Trump earlier this month pleaded not guilty after being indicted on 37 counts related to the alleged mishandling of classified materials and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.
Legal experts said that the new audio makes the case against Trump much stronger and that the former president is facing the very real prospect of prison time as a result.
But on Twitter, Trump’s critics couldn’t get over the surprise appearance of a soft drink at the end of the recording, which caused “Cokes” to trend on Twitter:
“See as President I could have declassified it. Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret…It’s so cool…Hey, bring some, uh, bring some Cokes in please.”
Trump treating national security like some 3rd grade show-and-tell.

This audio of Trump admitting he’s breaking federal law is incredible, must-listen stuff.
Come for the illegal sharing of top-level state secrets, stay for him topping it all off by asking for someone to bring him his Diet Cokes.https://t.co/aeFDl5lCb5— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) June 27, 2023
I love the part where trump orders cokes for everyone, like hey folks I’m sure we’re all a little parched from incriminating ourselves how about a refreshing beverage.

I love that the Trump tape ends with him saying "Bring some cokes in please." That's how I would have written the Trump treason scene.

I just heard it. I don't know how anyone can defend it. Trump knows the documents are classified while showing them off to a room full of people...then asks for a round of cokes.

There is lots of serious material in the audio of Trump reveling as he shows a ‘highly classified’ doc about attacking Iran.
Not so serious but revealing is him saying of the doc ‘It’s so cool’ and calling for refreshments: ‘Bring some Cokes in please.’ https://t.co/rWSvdSOB0O— Trip Gabriel (@tripgabriel) June 27, 2023
So it will be a one day trial - brings us some cokes please … https://t.co/9dfPmTuSbX
