“President Biden has eliminated the Diet Coke button,” reported British journalist Tom Newton Dunn on Twitter. He recounted how, during an interview with Trump in 2019, he and his colleague were intrigued by the box. When Trump pressed the button, a staff member swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver tray. And now, it’s gone.
Multiple journalists confirmed the existence of this button throughout Trump’s presidency. For instance, Demetri Sevastopulo from The Financial Times noted in a 2017 interview that he was drawn to the red button on Trump’s desk, which indeed triggered the arrival of a Diet Coke. Similarly, Associated Press reporter Julie Pace verified the same during her early interview with Trump.
Interestingly, some internet users have claimed that a local craftsman in Virginia created the button for Trump. In contrast, an editor from Business Insider U.K. suggested that it was a “Presidential Call Box,” typically used by presidents to contact the Secret Service. Most presidents keep it discreet, but Trump opted to keep his on display, using it not for emergencies but as a way to impress journalists with his ability to summon a soda.
The absurdity of the Diet Coke button often became fodder for satire, particularly on shows like Family Guy, leading many to dismiss it as a mere joke. However, now that Trump’s presidency is behind us, the internet is having a field day reflecting on this bizarre aspect of his time in office.
Goodbye to that soda-sipping figure we had to call president for four long years.
