While I think everyone understands that "pressed the wrong button, woops" is, at best, a gross oversimplification, I think assuming that it was directly connected to Trump or that he has the ability to "order" the state EAS system to issue some alert unilaterally is ridiculous. This comment also overlooks that a hack of EAS may've been perpetrated by an enemy group to test the American response. That is semi-plausible. Personally, I also think the disgruntled employee is the most likely scenario. It was someone's last day, or they had just decided they wanted it to be their last day, and they typed this up and hit send. It makes sense that "it was just an accident" is the explanation that restores the most faith in the system, because they can then say "We've updated the system so that accidents like that can't happen again, we now have two buttons in different rooms that have to be pressed simultaneously". Whereas intentional hijacking of the system is much harder to prevent.
