Back in his first term, President Trump had an infamous red button installed that would alert staff when he was craving a Diet Coke. The WSJ has officially reported that the red velvet button has been reinstalled.

From decorations to executive orders, the 47th president has taken an aggressive posture in attempting to remake government.

After Joe Biden took office in 2021, reports emerged that he had removed the Diet Coke button from the presidential desk. However, with Trump back in the Oval Office, the button has returned to its rightful place, a symbol of his long-standing devotion to the soda.

The Wall Street Journal reported the valet button, which the president used to order Diet Cokes during his first term, already had been reinstalled Monday even before he was sworn into office. Another story said he was reported to drink around a dozen Diet Cokes a day in 2018, though it is unknown if he maintains that habit.

The revamped White House Oval Office will once again feature the Diet Coke button that President Trump used to summon sodas during his first term. The famous little red button, hidden inside a wooden box, was spotted on Trump’s resolute desk after his inauguration ceremony on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

As Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office for his second, non-consecutive term, so did the highly popular Diet Coke button, which the US President uses to order his favourite beverage.

A large white canvas bag with a sketch of the Capitol in red was also provided, presumably to haul the inaugural booty home.
