Switching orange juice brands won’t topple Trump — or any politician, for that matter. Here’s the breakdown: Simply Orange (Florida-based, owned by Coca-Cola) Made in the U.S., often marketed as “local” to American buyers. If someone avoids it to “boycott Trump,” they’re really just avoiding Coca-Cola’s supply chain, not Trump. Oasis (Canadian brand, owned by Lassonde, uses Brazilian oranges) Canada doesn’t grow oranges, so Oasis imports its concentrate mostly from Brazil. Buying it instead of Simply Orange shifts your dollars from U.S. orange growers to Brazilian producers and a Canadian bottler. Political impact? None. Trump doesn’t own orange groves, Coke, or Lassonde. Orange juice sales aren’t a campaign contribution pipeline. The only people affected are farmers, distributors, and corporations — not Trump. So, the idea that “buying a different orange juice defeats Trump” is kind of like saying switching from Pepsi to Coke will influence NATO policy. It’s symbolic, maybe makes the buyer feel good, but it has zero real-world political effect.
