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.

Yeah, I believe that too. It does worry me though that he is surrounded by sycophants. I do hope there are a few thinking people between Trump and the button because he can't seem to stop himself instantly and unthinkingly retaliating on Twitter so probably best to keep him away from nuclear weapons.
