President Trump's redesigned Oval Office reflects his values and vision, featuring family photos, historical tributes, the return of the Diet Coke button, and a balance of personal and national symbolism.

In his 2019 book Team of Vipers, former White House aide Chris Sims revealed that during his first term, Trump would use the red button to prank visitors, claiming it might activate nuclear capabilities.

The Diet Coke button is back.

Donald Trump, who has expressed his love for American fast food like McDonald's and KFC, also toasted Vice-President JD Vance with Diet Coke at his inauguration ceremony.

The president moved swiftly in his first hours in office, signing a slew of executive orders in front of a roaring crowd and then in the Oval Office.

President Trump was eager on Monday to point out contrasts with his Democratic predecessor, including a free-wheeling Oval Office press conference.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has left a note for his successor, and President Biden is the first to write a letter to someone who is both his successor and the predecessor who left a note for him.

Trump supporters celebrated the cover as a symbolic reclaiming of authority. However, critics interpreted the image as a representation of Trump’s penchant for disorder.

Mr. Trump’s co-stars may have changed, but the show has not. He remains a reality-TV star with a reality-TV performer’s instincts. (Fittingly, his swearing-in featured a performance by the country star and “American Idol” winner Carrie Underwood — like him, a reality celebrity who went on to bigger things.)

In a sweeping order, President Trump halted federal approvals for new wind farms, in a move that could affect projects on land and in the ocean.

The federal workforce must show up at the office five days a week. Members of the senior executive service who refuse to execute the agenda that the American people just approved will be fired. There’s no way for the president to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” — as the Constitution directs — unless the commander in chief has the authority to remove insubordinate officers.
