I suspect he sees things on twitter and then it devolves into the "I made this" meme.

There are lots of indications that he's influenced by what happens across on his social media feed, even to the surprise of his own staff.

A lot of what fuels his decisions are very particular sense of nostalgia, hence the "Make America Great Again". Old things = good.
In this case it could also be a shifting away from US farm subsidies - since much of the reason we use corn as a sweetener in the first place is it's subsidization.

#7The irony is that a significant proportion of the sugar in "old" Coke in the US was not actually cane sugar, but from sugar beets.
But the obsession over types of sugar is largely ephemeral. All sugars are highly processed and refined and equally bad. HFCS's only crime is it's cheapness and ubiquity.
Funnily enough, for interesting chemistry reasons, it doesn't matter which type of sugar you put in, it all breaks down into glucose and fructose anyway! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY66qpMFOYo

It's the same reason he's against EVs, against wind, against solar, against power-efficient lighting, against improved shower heads and toilets:
To claim power. To reject the world and assert oneself. To deny change. To soak attention with negative energy, to hide from the actual things a president should or could be doing that would be at all worthy of their time. To keep people mad and riled up, following after what Ivanka reported in 1990, that he kept Hitler speeches by his bed, admired him (his ability to rile people up & thus be manipulable). The praxis of the dark side is to be ongoingly aggresive, to always bring out the worst in people. This is just another swing at that.

I swear by pure glucose. Twice the dosage half the damage. Add fiber if insensitive

I can assure you, it tastes different... or at least Mexican Cokes in glass bottles do. Go find you one and drink it. It's substantially different and better. It's sooooo good.
