Trump's Diet Coke button is back in the White House: here's what else changed overnight
New president, new vibe. Donald Trump is back in the White House, and you can bet the decor is getting a major overhaul.
With the switch in power, the Oval Office is getting a facelift. Say goodbye to Joe Biden's personal touches and get ready for a new look that reflects the shift in leadership.
And yes, the Diet Coke button is officially back -- but that's just the beginning of the changes, as The Wall Street Journal discovered. The publication was given an exclusive look inside the Oval Office shortly after Trump was sworn in on Monday.
In a major shift in decor, the blue rug that Biden had chosen has been replaced with a neutral one — the same one Trump used during his first term. A clear nod to the past, and a signal that things are definitely looking different.
The report notes that parts of the president's Resolute Desk were actually disassembled to make way for the rug. And speaking of the desk, the infamous red button Trump used to instantly order Diet Cokes during his first term is back in action and ready for use once again.
The gold curtains Trump selected during his first term, which were also used by Biden, have been left unchanged.
The revamped Oval Office now features a fresh portrait of Andrew Jackson displayed above a sculpture titled "The Bronco Buster." Trump has also brought back a bust of Winston Churchill and flags representing the military branches — items that were removed during Biden's term.
A portrait of George Washington now hangs above the fireplace, flanked by portraits of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson on either side. New silver eagle figures also adorn the mantel.
Another noticeable change is a coffee table near the fireplace. Where Biden once kept a batch of chocolate chip cookies, there's now a fresh bouquet of flowers and a square gold paperweight, embossed with the name "Trump."
The president has also made a personal touch to the space by replacing photos of the Biden family with those of his own.
