'Out of nowhere, he'd suddenly press the button,' Sims wrote of the former president. Ex-White House aide Chris Sims wrote in his 2019 book 'Team of Vipers' that Trump would also use the red button as a way of pranking visitors by suggesting it could trigger nuclear capabilities, cited by The Hill. Trump would regularly consume 12 cans of Diet Coke a day, as per media reports. When pressed, a staffer would be summoned to provide the drink to the thirsty commander in chief. The Hill reported that Trump, a soda devotee, reportedly had the button put in place on the Resolute Desk in order to 'keep the carbonated beverages flowing'. It's gone now,' tweeted journalist Tom Newton Dunn. Eventually, Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. When (Tim Shipman) and I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019, we became fascinated by what the little red button did. The Diet Coke button is (or rather, was) a discreet red button atop an inconspicuous wooden box that sat on the Oval Office desk, and when President Trump pressed said button a butler would arrive swiftly with a glass filled with Diet Coke on a silver platter.'President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button. In any case, I ‘m definitely not the only one who has just now been made aware of the Diet Coke button.

I have no memory of that whatsoever, though, either because I just never saw any of the coverage or because the subsequent four year onslaught of absolute fucking hell that ensued took priority in my brain. Well, first of all, apparently this is not actual “news ‘ and was covered at the very beginning of Trump ‘s presidency. We ‘re gonna skip over Biden firing three Trump appointees who are the embodiment of evil, reinstating DACA protections, and rejoining the Paris climate accord and move right on to the stuff that really matters, which is the news that President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button. The Biden-Harris administration ‘s to-do list is a mile long, but they ‘ve already started making changes.

We made it to inauguration day, which shouldn ‘t be a huge deal but let ‘s be honest, it felt a little touch and go for a while there.
