People Astonished by Donald Trump’s Daily Diet Coke Habit and the Return of the Soda Button

The news about how many Diet Cokes Donald Trump drinks each day has left many people in disbelief, especially after it was revealed he has reinstated the famous soda button.

On January 20, Donald Trump marked a historic moment by becoming the oldest U.S. president ever inaugurated.

At the age of 78 years and 220 days on January 20, Trump surpassed Joe Biden, who was 78 years and 61 days upon his inauguration in 2021.

Trump’s fondness for Diet Coke isn’t new – it’s a well-documented habit that gained public attention in 2017 through a profile by the New York Times that detailed his daily activities and routines.

The profile stated, “While watching cable, he shares his reactions with anyone present, even the household staff, whom he calls using a button to request lunch or one of the dozen Diet Cokes he drinks each day.” Yes, twelve Diet Cokes a day!

This surprising revelation quickly made waves across social media platforms.

Comments like “12 DIET COKES A DAY?” and “12 diet cokes at 78 years old…” filled the comment sections, while others joked, “The 12 diet cokes a day would be lethal to an average person. Go Trump!”

The notorious “Diet Coke button” exists, confirmed by former White House chef Andre Rush.

Rush, who served under Trump’s first presidency, as well as during the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, shared insights into Trump’s beverage choices.

He said, “He’s always been keen on his Diet Cokes. It’s the only thing he consumes around the clock.”

Trump himself has been candid, stating, “I’ve been consuming it and it hasn’t affected me negatively yet.”

Rush added, “People criticize him for the unhealthy aspects of his lifestyle. He does make an effort to eat healthily, but folks seldom see that side. They only witness what appears on social media. For instance, Bill Clinton had just as many burgers as Trump.”

Trump humorously commented on the return of the Diet Coke button on his desk, saying, “Everyone appears a bit anxious when I press that button.”
