The Diet Coke button is returned to the White House Oval Office by Trump.
The 'Diet Coke Button' returns to the White House under Trump's administration.
The Oval Office now features a Diet Coke button, which has been reinstated by the White House for President Trump's convenience in ordering his preferred beverage.
The red button, which was used by Trump during his first term and was hidden in a wooden box, was spotted on the Resolute Desk after he was sworn in as the 47th president. The Oval Office, where presidents meet with foreign heads of state, congressional leaders, and deliver the presidential address, is often personalized to reflect the values and goals of the incoming commander in chief.
Trump stated at the Capitol One Arena on Monday that the Oval Office, one of history's greatest offices, is a beloved location, even if it wasn't beautiful, it's the Oval Office, and it is beautiful. He added that everything starts and ends at the Oval Office. Trump has a well-known preference for Diet Coke and has frequently stated that he does not consume alcohol due to his brother, Fred Trump Jr., passing away from alcohol-related complications in the early 1980s. On Monday, the Journal reported that a portrait of George Washington was now hanging above the fireplace in the Oval Office, and portraits of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were on each side.
On Monday, Trump's team reinstated military flags for each service branch in the Oval Office, which Biden had removed four years ago.
Biden had a bust of Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office when he was sworn in as president in 2021. The bust was returned on Monday and placed on the same table near the fireplace where it was four years ago.
The Journal reported that both Trump and Biden had a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. in the Oval Office, which remained there on Monday at the beginning of Trump's second term.
As of Monday, the Oval Office now features new silver eagle figures on the fireplace mantel.
Trump has a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office, which is from the White House art collection, unlike the one on loan from the U.S. Naval Academy during his first term. Trump has been drawn to Jackson, whose populist, anti-establishment movement helped him become president despite opposition from critics.
Biden's selection of a Franklin portrait to emphasize science was retained by Trump.
