Donald Trump has reinstalled his special White House button after Biden had it removed
Donald Trump is back in the White House - and he's wasting no time in getting to work on the things which matter the most to him.
After his election win back in November, Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday.
The Trump administration has already provided us with a number of bizarre and head-scratching moments despite only being in the job for a couple of days, including Elon Musk dividing the internet after giving an eyebrow raising salute on stage, pledges to plant the US flag on Mars and many more.

Trump has also wasted no time on signing countless executive orders into law in order to dismantle the work of the previous Biden administration.
These include withdrawing from the World Health Organisation, 'renaming' the Gulf of Mexico and pausing the TikTok ban.
However the Republican president has also made sure he's swiftly reunited with his favourite button in the whole of the White House.
Yep, we're talking about the infamous Diet Coke button.
What is Donald Trump's 'Diet Coke button'?
Being the president is a stressful job, which is why incoming leaders will equip the Oval Office to meet their needs. For Trump, this means having someone bring him a can of Diet Coke whenever his heart desires it.
Reports of Trump installing a Diet Coke button in order to have people bring him a can of the stuff on a silver platter went viral during his first term in office. However the story isn't exactly true.
A presidential call button (an established system which summons an aide to the Oval Office) has long existed on the iconic Resolute desk, with Richard Branson previously noting in his autobiography that Obama would use it to request tea for guests.
Biden later scrapped the Diet Coke dependance after being elected in 2020, but a report in the Wall Street Journal has confirmed the drink is back on the menu and ready to be presented whenever Trump feels the hankering for something fizzy.
Because being the leader of America is certainly thirsty work.
President Trump has had a long-held affinity for the fizzy drink, with Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey gifting the 78-year-old with a commemorative Diet Coke bottle as an inauguration gift.
The one of a kind bottle features an image of the White House alongside the date 20 January 2025 and won't be available for sale.
