Trump and the secret red button on his desk.

They say it was installed nearly at the beginning, and when he pushed it (of course he did) a servant came in with a Diet Coke on a platter. They say he was absolutely giddy with the notion.

It kept his mind off the real red button other presidents had. Like amusing a toddler.

President Trump has a button on his desk in the Oval Office that summons a butler to bring him a Coke.

In two recent interviews, Trump showed off the button.

“Sitting across from Donald Trump in the Oval Office, my eyes are drawn to a little red button on a box that sits on his desk,” The Financial Times’ Demetri Sevastopulo writes. Sevastopulo jokingly asked Trump if this was the nuclear button.

“No no, everyone thinks it is,” Sevastopulo says Trump responds, and then uses the button to order a Diet Coke.

“Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button,” Trump tells Sevastopulo.
