BUT... In practice it's clearly Trump, because NK just isn't a realistic threat to most of the world, whereas the US could literally wipe out the planet with a few button-presses. Quite terrifying, really. That said - I don't personally buy the idea that the POTUS has full control of the US military and definitely not the nuclear button. They like to pretend that he could just go to his office and fire up some nuclear missiles. In truth, quite a few people would have to be in agreement for that to happen.

It would be complete madness to have it any other way. I mean I don't believe that Obama didn't have the power to change the gun laws that he was very clearly against but Trump does have the Power to blow up the whole world, I don't buy that. it would be completely irresponsible and dictatorish to give one individual that much power
