It ’s been 99 day since reality television set whiz Donald Trump was assert in as president , and he ’s really shake thing up in Washington . So far , with Republican control condition of Congress , he ’s repealed Obamaca — ah , shit , never beware . Well , he did pass that comprehensive tax reform he promised . Oh , wait , I venture he did n’t do that either . One thing Trump has definitely done , though , is set up up a witching button in the Oval Office that summons a butler carrying a refreshing , chalk - cold Coca - Cola .
Here ’s an excerpt from yesterday’sFinancial Timesinterview with Don :
sit across from Donald Trump in the Oval Office , my center are drawn to a small ruby button on a corner that sits on his desk . “ This is n’t the atomic release , is it ? ” I joke , pointing . “ No , no , everyone think it is , ” Trump says on cue , before leaning over and urge on it to order some Cokes . “ Everyone does get a footling nervous when I press that button . ”
Now , go over out this ikon :

And contain out what ’s sitting on the Resolute Desk on the left corner stuffy to Trump : a Coke ! you could even see a equipment matching the verbal description of the box he reportedly orders Cokes with , next to the phone .
Let ’s take a closer expression , good manners of my acquaintance Eric Geller :

This is n’t the first fourth dimension the Coke Button , which appear to bear the presidential seal of approval , has been blemish in the wild . Here ’s an excerption from anAssociated Pressstory a few twenty-four hour period ago :
A man accustomed to wealth and its trappings , Trump has embraced life in the Executive Mansion , often regaling Edgar Albert Guest with triviality about the historical interior decoration . With the push of a red push placed on the Resolute Desk that Chief Executive have used for decade , a White House Samuel Butler shortly get in with a Coke for the president .
And , of course , Donald Trump has a storied history with Coke , particularly the Diet interpretation .
The release has be on old presidents ’ desks , but , as far as we can tell , this is the first time pushing the clit will mechanically result in soda pop . estimable stuff , Donald .
