President-elect Donald Trump will return to the White House on Jan. 20, as President Joe Biden moves out, with the White House set to revert to how it was four years ago in more ways than one.
Trump’s famous Diet Coke button will be one of the things returning, according to a report from the Daily Mail. The red button, which was on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, summoned a butler to bring Trump his favorite drink when pressed. Trump’s Diet Coke button was removed by Biden shortly after taking office in 2021.
Other previous arrangements of furniture and portraits will also return to how they were under Trump’s first administration, the outlet reported. The quick transition will mark a tradition of the peaceful transfer of power, which holds less fanfare than the inauguration ceremony on the west front of the Capitol Building.
Trump and incoming first lady Melania Trump made their mark on the White House in 2020 with various renovations, including to the Rose Garden. Once the turnover happens on Jan. 20, 2025, the White House will look similar to how it previously appeared and will be staffed with many of the same people as his first term. Non-political White House staff largely remains the same throughout the different presidents.
