Trump celebrates clinching nomination with McDonald’s, Diet Coke
Donald Trump on Thursday shared a photo of himself celebrating after he clinched the Republican presidential nomination with a meal from McDonald’s and a Diet Coke on his private jet.
Trump posted a photo to his Instagram account captioned: “Celebrating 1237! #Trump2016.”
{mosads}News outlets on Thursday reported that Trump has secured a majority of the available delegates to the Republican National Convention.
The Associated Press first reported Thursday that Trump surpassed 1,237 delegates — the magic number that gives him a majority — after a small number of unbound party delegates that told the news service that they would support him.
The photo shows Trump eating french fries, with a McDonald’s hamburger, a Diet Coke, paper plates and packets of ketchup in front of him.
Trump tweeted in 2012, “I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.”
