          Trump doesn’t have a Big Red Button. There are several steps in the command-and-control infrastructure that would stop him. Hell, I doubt the people around him would allow him to even try and open the Nuclear Football and get the codes.

          I came of age at the end of the Cold War and understand the consequences. No way in hell dementia boy is going to be allowed to launch even a small tactical nuke.
