Trump to Reinstate Diet Coke Button in Oval Office on Inauguration Day

Dec 26, 2024, 07:55 PM

President-elect Donald Trump plans to reinstate the Diet Coke button in the Oval Office upon his return to the White House on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025. The button, a feature from his first term, allows Trump to summon a chilled glass of his favorite drink with a simple press. This restoration is part of a broader effort by the White House staff to revert the Oval Office to its condition during Trump's previous tenure, as the Bidens prepare to move out. The transition, managed by nearly 100 non-political staff members, is expected to be completed within five hours on Inauguration Day.
