Donald Trump's return to The White House as president earlier this week also saw the comeback of the iconic Coca-Cola button.
President Trump's Oval Office return is hardly 48 hours old, but the 47th US president has wasted no time signing off multiple executive orders, including a policy stating there are 'only two genders' and withdrawing from the World Health Organization.
And while he implements many of his policies, Trump has decided to bring back one feature that was found on his desk during his first term.
The Diet Coke button has made a return to the Oval Office’s Resolute desk, allowing Trump to have the fizzy drink delivered to his desk at the touch of a button.

The Wall Street Journal reports the button that summons White House staff to deliver a Diet Coke to Trump's desk is back in action, showing Trump's love for the famed soda has not lessened from his first term in office.
Back in 2018, amidst a Trump's presidency, a New York Times report stated the president sinks a dozen Diet Coke cans every single day.
I mean, just the thought of that makes me gassy.
Drinking 12 cans of Coca-Cola daily is two cans above what the Mayo Clinic describes as a 'safe amount' of daily caffeine for adults.
According to the health gurus over there, too much caffeine can lead to an abnormal heart rhythm, insomnia and anxiety.
While drinking so much Diet Coke is not good for you, nutritionist Lisa Drayer, noted it could be worse if Trump was consuming full-fat coke.
“I still think it’s a better choice than sugary sodas,” she told CNN.
"If he drank regular soda, he would be adding an additional 1,680 calories and a whopping 468 grams of sugar just from this beverage alone!"
Trump's Coca-Cola obsession was brought to light once more by health expert Craig Brockie on Twitter.
Brockie explained how Trump sleeps around four-five hours every night and drinks them 12 cans of Coke daily.
"12 diet cokes daily is WILD," one person commented after discovering that fact.
It should be worth noting the report that stated Trump downs that much of the fizzy drink is from 2018, so it may be different today.
But the fact Trump has reinstalled the Coca-Cola button within his first week back in office suggests he's still a fan.
