The Diet Coke button is coming back to the White House along with President-Elect Donald Trump.

The Daily Mail reports that this is one of many changes that the White House staff will make to return the White House to the way that Trump had it during his first administration.

Per the outlet:

When Donald and Melania Trump enter the White House next year on Inauguration Day, they’ll find it looks just like it did when they left it four years ago – even down to the Diet Coke button on the desk in the Oval Office.

As we will see, it had been removed by President Joe Biden, when he took over following Trump's first administration.

Background

Just in case you did not know it, Trump is a big fan of Diet Coke. Their have even been reports written on the subject, such as this one from Newsweek.

Given his affinity for the beverage it is perhaps not that surprising that, during his first administration, he actually had a Diet Coke button installed in the Oval Office. It was a red button that, when pushed, would result in a White House staff member bringing the president a Diet Coke.

The Washington Examiner reports, "The red button, which was on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, summoned a butler to bring Trump his favorite drink when pressed."

The outlet goes on to note that Biden, when he took over in 2021, had the button removed.

"Trump's Diet Coke button was removed by Biden shortly after taking office in 2021," the Examiner writes.

The return of the Diet Coke button is one of several changes that White House staff will be making to make the White House more like home for Trump.

According to the Daily Mail, by the time Trump and his family return, "they’ll find their clothes in their closet, their preferred shampoo in the bathroom, and their favorite foods in the kitchen."

Additionally, Family photos will be displayed. Furniture will be rearranged to their liking," and so on.

The outlet goes on to report that this is all "thanks to the staff of the White House."

Per the outlet:

The nearly 100 employees, who are nonpolitical and stay on from president to president, spend the morning of January 20th moving the departing commander-in-chief out and the incoming one in. They have about five hours to get it all done. It’s a well-coordinated process that comes after months of planning.
