And the fact that a Presidential drink-ordering button has made national news perhaps signifies less panicky political news coverage for the time being. It’s not clear why Biden has had the button removed. So what’s the story? According to an excerpt from Richard Branson’s autobiography, Obama explained the button to Branson during a meeting in the Oval Office: “They used to be there for emergencies, but now I use them for ordering tea for my guests.” According to a 2017 New York Times report, Trump would regularly consume as many as 12 diet cokes per day while doing business in the Oval Office.īut others have claimed it was much more serious than that, that it was in fact a button to call the Secret Service at any moment when needed:Ĭore77 cites to Richard Branson’s book to confirm the button had a Secret Service use: The button apparently received plenty of use over the last four years.

Social media users were quick to reiterate the point made by the Associated Press, that the button itself predated President Trump, and presumably has uses other than beverage delivery. It appears getting rid of the so called “Diet Coke button” was part of President Joe Biden’s day-one agenda, as media images have surfaced of the 46th president doing business without the handy button or a can of Coke.

In the early days of the Donald Trump administration, reports surfaced that the 45th president used a red button atop a small wooden box to summon his caffeine fix. The furniture and artwork may be largely the same, but one ornament has apparently quickly disappeared from the White House Oval Office following the inauguration of President Joe Biden. xJoRhUctsNįox 16 wants to tell you it was only used to order “Diet Cokes”: EMF Harmonized (Cell Phone, Wi-Fi, Radiation Protectionīetween both Bushes.
