After Joe Biden took office in 2021, reports emerged that he had removed the Diet Coke button from the presidential desk. However, with Trump back in the Oval Office, the button has returned to its rightful place, a symbol of his long-standing devotion to the soda.

The Wall Street Journal reported the valet button, which the president used to order Diet Cokes during his first term, already had been reinstalled Monday even before he was sworn into office. Another story said he was reported to drink around a dozen Diet Cokes a day in 2018, though it is unknown if he maintains that habit.

President Trump decorated the Oval Office with a collage of family photos and other personal belongings that were on full display during his first day back in the White House on Monday, January 20, 2025.

So, it’s no surprise his infamous “Diet Coke button” has been reinstalled at the Oval Office desk for his second term. Trump used the red valet button to order Diet Cokes during his first term between 2017 and 2021.

Trump brings back the iconic Diet Coke button President Donald Trump has restored his iconic Diet Coke button to the Oval Office after it was removed by former President Joe Biden.
