Donald Trump will return to his presidential office, where he will find the “Diet Coke button”, which became famous during his mandate.
A button to trigger… a refresh. Back at the White House since Monday, January 20, the American president Donald Trump will find his office, but also his famous “Diet Coke button”, a drink of which he is a fan.
Indeed, the “presidential call button” on the desk of the President of the United States can be used for a variety of reasons. For Donald Trump, this button allowed him to order a Coca Light iced, brought back on a tray by a butler.
Enough to surprise his guests as some Times journalists told in 2019, when they asked the American president embarrassing questions.
-A button appreciated by presidents
“He pressed the button and we stiffened,” they said, even though Donald Trump knows the effect of this button on his guests. “Everyone gets a little nervous when I press it,” he told CBS in the past.
Among former presidents, this button, installed in the 19th century, was used for quite similar reasons, notably for Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s: the tool allowed him to order a coffee, a tea, a Coca-Cola or a Fresca, a grapefruit-flavored soft drink.
