President Trump has access to more than one “button,” and Esquire tried so very hard to give The Resistance something else to get worked up about:
Trump has a button that he presses so a butler delivers him a Coke. Yes, seriously: https://t.co/MFgfRLTdGt pic.twitter.com/yyEo188kNv

The AP story quoted by Esquire mentions there’s “a red button placed on the Resolute Desk that presidents have used for decades,” but suddenly it’s a big deal?
You know you have Trump Derangement Syndrome when you think the president shouldn't be able to get a Coke by pressing a button.

@esquire 2016: "OMG! I can't believe this guy is gonna have a button to launch nukes"
2017: "OMG! I can't believe this guy has a button to get cola"

Barry had the same button, so did George, so did Bill. Bill used his for a cigar, I bet. https://t.co/uM0gMzk1Kc

Been a thing for like 100 years. Apparently @esquire never saw "The Butler." https://t.co/us5Apfl3Ko

You mean the button every President has had for the past few decades to signal to staff to get him something? But, since it's Trump…. https://t.co/vCugmnldzA

I love how things every president has had before Trump are now problematic…. https://t.co/7GyTyn7jYI

Maybe it only boils down to this:
They don't care about the button. They care that their team doesn't get to press it. https://t.co/Ps4PkNYgHD
