When hosting the Associated Press at the oval office, Trump showed the reporters the red button, which sits in a rectangular wooden box. After pressing it a butler promptly arrived with a Coke for the president, the news wire service reported.

The call button is meant to be used to summon an aide whenever a president needs something, and it can be moved. President Barack Obama was seen sitting with the call button next to him at meetings in the past.
