Here’s the thing: I enjoy a diet soda pop, as President Biden would say, but it’s absolutely crazy that Trump even had a Diet Coke button installed, and it’s equally crazy that it was someone’s job to carry a Diet Coke into the Oval Office on a silver platter. Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. When and I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019, we became fascinated by what the little red button did.

President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button. And it only took a few hours for President Biden to uninstall that sh-t. It was a little box front-and-center on the Resolute Desk. So, Trump had a Diet Coke button installed. He guzzles Diet Coke constantly, always has. There was just one thing missing: a button he could push to immediately summon a Diet Coke, his favorite beverage. Here’s the story: when Trump moved into the White House, he became enchanted with the trappings of the Oval Office. I went the entire four years of the Trump “presidency” without hearing the story about his “Diet Coke Button.” Maybe I did hear it once and then I just immediately forgot it because Donald Trump is a white supremacist fascist and there were more pressing concerns.
