“President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button,” tweeted Dunn.
rFzhPaHYjk- Tom Newton Dunn January 21, 2021 Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. When and I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019, we became fascinated by what the little red button did. Science now finally has an ally in the Oval Office, with the US death toll likely to top 500,000 next month.President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button.
Gone is the little red button installed by Trump, which he once revealed got him "a Coke or a Pepsi", and so too is the attitude towards COVID-19. Busts of Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez now watch over Biden's new desk, and former rivals Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton hang side-by-side on the walls. The Oval Office received a few homely touches. It's not just the streets being cleaned up but the White House too, given a $700,000 deep clean before the new President moved in. Ten-thousand national guard troops will stay in the city for as long as the threat of more violence remains. A barrier fence and razor wire is still keeping people away from the Capitol Building, and inside there is still a militarised zone. They're not dismantling the entire fortress though. The 200,000 flags planted in the lawn quickly disappeared, as did the fortifications which had sealed off the central city. Not long had the fireworks fizzled out before the contractors rolled in to begin packing down.Ĭranes and trucks removed roadblocks and, under the cover of darkness, troops started filing out, their riot shields reflecting the lights of the building they were drafted in to protect - a convoy of buses taking them away from a city slowly coming back to life.īy morning, the clean-up effort intensified, allowing Washington DC's residents back into areas previously off-limits - including the National Mall.
