Trump’s Diet Coke Button Returns to the Oval Office
President Donald Trump has officially returned to the White House for his second term, and with him comes the reinstatement of the Diet Coke button in the Oval Office. Yes, it’s back.
This red valet button, which sat on Trump’s desk during his first term, served a singular purpose: summoning an ice-cold Diet Coke to the president at the press of a button.
The feature, reportedly reinstalled on day one of his return, has become a quirky symbol of Trump’s presidency.
Visitors to the Oval Office often reacted with a mix of amusement and confusion when he pressed the button, some even mistaking it for something far more serious—like a nuclear device.
Trump himself joked about this misunderstanding, noting how “everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button.”
The button’s reappearance was part of swift renovations to the Oval Office, which now mirrors the design Trump favored during his first term.
Fixtures like a portrait of George Washington and a bust of Winston Churchill are back, alongside the Diet Coke button, signaling a return to his previous style of leadership. In Trumps eyes soda breaks are included.
While this whimsical feature may seem trivial, it highlights Trump’s well-documented love for Diet Coke.
His beverage choice stands in stark contrast to alcohol, which he avoids due to a family history of addiction.
Love it or laugh at it, the Diet Coke button is undeniably a unique hallmark of modern presidential history, and it seems ready for another term of service.
