The same report uses input from former and current administration officials who attest that Trump is a self-confessed “candy addict.”

These sources tell the outlet that he supposedly tries to ensure that he’s surrounded by sweet treats at all times, with bowls filled with various sugary delights constantly nearby.

Tootsie Rolls, M&Ms, Starburst, Hershey’s chocolates, Milky Ways and Reese’s caramels are believed to some of his candies of choice. The same report suggests there’s a bowl outside the Oval Office too.

It may seem a bit wild but it appears that Trump does indeed have a Diet Coke button in the Oval Office. 

As reported on places like ITV News, while decorating his office upon his return, Trump decided to reinstall a red ‘Diet Coke button.’ This was here during his last stint as president and is used whenever the POTUS wants – you guessed it – a Diet Coke.

It’s a well known fact that Trump doesn’t drink alcohol and is famously a fan of Diet Coke. With that in mind, this Oval Office addition kind of makes sense.
