    There is no "nuclear button." There is, however, a football. Except the football is actually a briefcase.http://nyti.ms/2E0BMxY

        There is however, a nuclear code. When Trump took over, Obama had given him the code as he was supposed to. Americans can only hope that Obama, being as smart as he is, and considerably insightful, gave him the wrong code. I can dream can't I.

        Well, POTUS said it is a button. And, if he is unaware of the "football," but thinks there is indeed a button, perhaps we should all smile and let him be.

        Is your opinion of your readers so low that you think they imagine a big red button labelled "bomb," similar to those in early Batman films? Even the tabloids credit their readers with understanding an analogy.

        Indians have a red button on their heads. Does that make them nuclear warheads?
