If so, and Trump did it, are there still humans in the chain of command who could stop the process?

There's no "switch", he has to give an actual order (by phone or radio or whatever) to the actual military officers in command of the nukes

This is why it matters to delegitimize Trump in the press as much as you possibly can

You've got to give the military cover for insubordination
