“Out of nowhere, he’d suddenly press the button,” Sims wrote of the former president. When pressed, a staffer would be summoned to provide the drink to the thirsty commander in chief.Īccording to news reports, Trump would regularly consume 12 cans of Diet Coke a day.Įx-White House aide Chris Sims wrote in his 2019 book “Team of Vipers” that Trump would also use the red button as a way of pranking visitors by suggesting it could trigger nuclear capabilities. Trump, a soda devotee, reportedly had the button put in place on the Resolute Desk in order to keep the carbonated beverages flowing. 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. The infamous device installed at the Resolute Desk wasn’t visible in photos of President Biden captured Thursday at the White House. A button in the Oval Office that provided instant Diet Coke to former President Trump appears to be no more.
