US President Donald Trump pushed the “nuclear button,” on his Oval Desk, during an interview. But, interestingly, instead of leading to widespread devastation, the red button ordered him a Diet Coke.
“Everyone thinks that’s the nuclear — everyone thinks that’s the nuclear weapon… They say if I press this, it’s the end of the world,” Trump told an interviewer before alarmingly pressing the said button.
But the widely touted as nuclear weapon button on Trump’s desk is actually his beloved ‘coke button’.
Recycling his joke from 2017, the US president, currently serving his second term in the White House, flaunted the seemingly intimidating “red button” on his desk.

Laura Ingraham:
“Where's the Coke button?”
Trump:
“It's right here.
Everyone thinks that's the nuclear — everyone thinks that's the nuclear weapon.
They say if I press this, it's the end of the world.”… https://t.co/mC8gMVcnyr pic.twitter.com/qfp3vC2uo7
The button in question actually orders Trump a Coke. The Diet Coke button was one of the first things Trump had reinstalled upon his return as the President of the United States.
The button that many speculate can launch a nuclear war is the definition of “looks like they can kill you, is a cinnamon roll”. Nestled in a fancy wooden box, the iconic button is not an apparatus for global peril but actually summons a steward to deliver Trump’s favorite fizzy drink.
Back in 2017, during an interview, Trump was asked, “This isn’t the nuclear button, is it?”
To which, with a hint of jest, Trump had responded: “No, no, everyone thinks it is. Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button,” before pressing the button, to the interviewer’s alarm.
Minutes later, a steward walked into the Oval Room, carrying a silver platter with a glass of Diet Coke on a silver platter, as Trump burst into laughter.
That’s the story of Trump’s favorite feature of his Oval Office.
