Football = Nuclear launch system --always in Trumps presence
Biscuit= The codes to launch those weapons. --is said to be always on the president's body
He has power to do that. and I cannot believe Trump is sane enough not to do that.

(53,767 posts)5. I can't believe that the system is designed so that one person's say so alone can launch nukes
There has to be a fail-safe consensus somewhere in there the joint chiefs or someone else must have to concur before launch or the world could be vulnerable to a madman's whim.
