Maybe he wants a Pepsi?
President Biden seems to have gotten rid of the Coca Diet button his predecessor Donald Trump used on the resolute table in the Oval Office.
Political commentator Tom Newton Dunn on Thursday tweeted a photo of Biden behind the desk with piles of executive orders – but the famous little red button that Trump pressed to pick up his favorite soda seemed to be missing.
“President Biden removed the Diet Coke button,” wrote Dunn. “Eventually, Trump pushed, and a butler quickly brought a Diet Coke on a silver tray. It is gone. “
Trump showed the button to reporters at the Associated Press and the Financial Times in 2017.
“With the push of a red button placed on the Resolute Desk that presidents have been using for decades, a White House butler soon arrived with a Coke for the president,” reported the AP at the time.
Trump also boasted that his employees always noticed when he pressed the button.
“Everyone gets a little nervous when I press that button,” Trump told a Financial Times reporter.
