The Oval Office has received a bold makeover following Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, and with it comes the revival of one of his most iconic quirks — the Diet Coke button. The small red button, once removed during President Biden’s term, is back on the Resolute Desk, ready to summon Trump’s favorite beverage at the push of a finger.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the button’s reappearance marks the full restoration of Trump’s signature touch to the White House. “Everyone gets a little anxious when I press that button,” Trump once joked in a 2017 interview.
The redesigned Oval Office blends tradition with Trump’s personal flair. A portrait of George Washington now dominates the fireplace, surrounded by paintings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. His previous decor favorites — like Winston Churchill’s bust, The Bronco Buster sculpture, and gold drapes — have all made their comeback.
Biden’s blue rug has been replaced by Trump’s neutral-toned version, while new additions, including silver eagle ornaments and a gold “Trump” paperweight, complete the space.
The return of the Diet Coke button has become a viral symbol of Trump’s presidency — a blend of tradition, showmanship, and unmistakable personality — signaling that his second term will be anything but ordinary.
