According to a viral tweet by journalist Tom Newton Dunn, Donald Trump would press the button to demand a diet coke, which was brought to him on a silver platter. The red button was no longer seen as part of Joe Biden’s desk, thus, appearing to be done away with. According to a report by the Independent, Donald Trump would often joke about the button being linked to nuclear weapons. “The twice-impeached president would prank visitors by hitting the button and suggesting it was related to the country’s nuclear weapons arsenal,” read the report.
The tweet went viral on social media, garnering 122.6k likes and 24.7k retweets. Users poured in several hilarious reactions to the revelations. Take a look:
