Now that Donald Trump is back in the White House, the diet coke is flowing, so forget about the champagne!
Trump’s favorite soda button is back and ready to quench thirst for another four years, according to Knewz.com.
As promised, the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office once again has a red button enclosed in a unique wooden box. When the president is thirsty, a staffer is called to fetch him a cool Diet Coke.
Trump is known to drink a lot of fizzy cola; according to some claims, he consumes a dozen cans per day. During his inauguration activities, including his inauguration luncheon, the president even made sure to keep the drinks flowing.
On his first day back in office, the Georgia-based corporation gave the president a unique commemorative bottle of Diet Coke as a token of their gratitude for his commitment.
A picture of the White House and the words “The Inauguration of the President of the United States” are printed on the label of the 8-ounce glass bottles. The date of Trump’s special day is also displayed.
A picture of the bottle and its unique packaging was posted by the company. Trump was seen relaxing and sipping a chilled Diet Coke with the CEO of the company in another photo.
The headline read: “Tonight, President Trump received the first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle from the Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company, James Quincey.”
It may be too late for fans hoping to get their hands on the actual thing now. The corporation states that a “limited quantity of Diet Coke bottles commemorating the 47th President of the United States” will “not be available for sale.”
During inaugural celebrations, the unique mementos were distributed to White House employees and visitors.
Previously, Trump’s personal valet, Walt Nauta, was responsible for quenching his thirst. Nauta would deliver Trump a glass of Diet Coke on a silver tray if he pressed the large red button on his desk.
Pushing a large red button in the Oval Office, of course, scared some people, especially because the person in charge has access to nuclear weapons.
Trump liked to make jokes about it, saying on one occasion, “Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button.”
In just five hours, the almost 100 members of the White House resident staff have already pushed Joe Biden out as Trump returns to the White House today.
Butlers, maids, housekeepers, cooks, chefs, doormen, florists, curators, engineers, electricians, plumbers, and storekeepers are among the employees.
From president to president, the staff remains loyal and does not take sides. The White House staff is getting off easy this turnaround because they already know what Trump needs and wants, according to Kate Andersen Brower, author of The Residence.
“It’s easier because they’ve lived there before,” she told DailyMail.com. There are no secrets regarding the Trumps’ preferences for breakfast, their methods of operation, even the type of shampoo they use. They already know everything, after all.
According to Brower, regardless of the political background of the person holding the Oval Office, the staff usually gets along with them. Many of them have served multiple presidents and have been employed at the White House for many years.
They will probably welcome Trump’s return as well, she said, particularly given his history of distributing his wealth.
According to Brower, “He would, like, tip them cash,” “I was told he would hand out $50 bills.”
