The United States of America witnessed the swearing-in of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, January 20, 2021.
On day one in office, Biden signed 15 executive orders reversing some of the key foreign policies and national security decisions of his predecessor Donald Trump.
The executive orders ranged from rejoining the Paris agreement on climate change, halting America’s withdrawal from the World Health Organisation, revoking Muslim travel ban and stopping immediate construction of Mexico border wall.
There is, for sure, a lot inside the White House that the new US President would want to change.
According to a now viral tweet by journalist Tom Newton Dunn, Donald Trump had a ‘Diet Coke’ button on his desk, which the former president would press to demand a diet coke, which was brought to him on a silver platter.
The tweet went viral on social media, garnering 128.1k likes and 25.7k retweets. Take a look at the tweet:
President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button. When @ShippersUnbound and I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019, we became fascinated by what the little red button did. Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. It’s gone now. pic.twitter.com/rFzhPaHYjk

According to the viral tweet by @tnewtondunn, Donald Trump would press the button to demand a diet coke, which was brought to him on a silver platter. The red button was no longer seen as part of Joe Biden’s desk, thus, appearing to be done away with.
Twitter users left hilarious reactions to the revelations. Check out some of the reactions below:

Trump never jogged! He had to hold the hand rail walking down the Platform at one of the military academies & hold water with both hands when at the podium that day. He always uses a golf cart when he gulfs. Trump never held a candle to Biden, physically or mentally!

He got the first one, then asked us if we’d like one too. We said yes please.

The first bill the dems should pass is making sure no tax dollars can ever be spent again on buttons that summon diet cokes on a silver platter….dude really thought he was a monarch…

They never bothered to develop a plan for vaccine distribution, but Trump had them put in a button to summon a butler with a Diet Coke.

I’m sorry. I can’t tell if you’re joking. Johnson was president from Nov. 1963 – Jan. 1969. Diet Coke was introduced in the United States on August 9, 1982. (As you know, prior to that time, Coca Cola’s only diet product was Tab.) Or maybe I’m misunderstanding your point?

youre telling me that if you had the possibility for a butler to ceremonially bring you a diet coke on a silver platter whenever you press a little red button you wouldnt do it?
