WHEN Donald Trump takes office as new President on Friday one aide will remain ‘stitched’ to his side – the one with the briefcase needed to spark a nuclear war.

The unknown military officer will accompany outgoing Barack Obama to the handover ceremony at the Capitol in Washington before quickly ‘switching sides’ to The Don.

He’ll be carrying a satchel which holds military hardware which could change the lives of EVERY person on the planet.

Inside the briefcase – bizarrely known as ‘the nuclear football’ – is a piece of digital technology measuring just three inches by five inches called ‘the biscuit’.

This innocent sounding gadget contains the codes needed to launch a strategic nuclear strike virtually anywhere on earth.

Trump has already been fully briefed on how the system works, but as of Friday the lives of hundreds of millions will literally be in his hands....

Another bull**** #fakenews article from a sniveling snowflake. Did this ***hole ever express concern over the Kenyan giving nukes to Iran?

Exactly. No one seemed worried about handing over the Nuclear Codes to a guy who can barely read a teleprompter.

I’m much more worried about what Obama will do with it BEFORE Friday.

Uh, no.

Not even when a neophyte community organizer with a drug abuse history took office.

I don't remember any similar stories about Obama but I do seem to remember that Biden admitted that Obama would make some foreign policy blunders at the very beginning of his term in office until he learned what he was doing.

Biden was only off by eight years because Obama has made one foreign policy blunder after another ever since taking office.

Sure. Friday Trump will swap his Twitter account for full on nuke attack of his detractors. Snowflakes, beware!

Psychiatrists all over America will start seeing business and clients increasing as the Trump presidency takes over, and the lefty meltdown goes into hyper overdrive.

Didnt Obama make changes to this process? Could the radically Islamic infiltrated Home Land Security make code changes where they can set these off during Trump’s presidency?

Obama hates the American people so much he would turn those nukes on us if he could. When Trump is in charge I will sleep easily for the first time in 8 years.

Instead, we should thank God that Hillary—who wanted war with Russia—will NOT have charge of our nuclear arsenal!!!!

This is so stupid. The nuclear codes device has been shown in movies as a small electronic device as described in this article since the 1970’s. I’m fairly sure this is not the case now and that this is stupid Fake News a la MSM.
