While there has been a great deal of speculation and consternation about the prospect of Donald Trump pressing the nuclear button, it turns out there is another button the President is privy to.
Mr Trump has a
special wooden box on his desk in the Oval Office of the White House
containing a single button which he has been using to order glasses of
Coca-Cola.
The rectangular box is located on the Resolute Desk which Presidents have used for decades.President Trump's penchant for the soda was revealed in his Associated Press interview inside the Oval Office ahead of his 100th day as President.
“A man accustomed to wealth and its trappings, Trump has embraced life in the Executive Mansion, often regaling guests with trivia about the historic décor,” wrote the journalist Julian Pace.
“With the push
of a red button placed on the Resolute Desk that presidents have used
for decades, a White House butler soon arrived with a Coke for the
president.”
This is not the first time Mr Trump has been glimpsed
with a trusty glass of Coke on the Oval Office desk. In January, a CNN
reporter shared of photo of the billionaire with the phone glued to his
ear and the carbonated soft drink close to hand.But his button pressing appears to be an upgrade from the days of reportedly “bellowing” for someone to "bring a Coke and a water, please!’” during an interview.
