Anyone who's followed Donald J. Trump on Twitter will know that he has an explosive temper - which might be a bit of a worry when he commands the world's second-biggest nuclear arsenal.

But could he really unleash nuclear holocaust if he was a bit annoyed?

He genuinely could - so quickly, in fact, that devastation would reach the other side of the globe quicker than most of us could order a pizza to our doors.

If Donald Trump were to give the order to attack, no one can countermand it - the military will simply check the codes, and fire.

Officers may resign, but the attack would still go ahead.

I think the author of the article mistakes Trump for Clinton. She’s the one who launches ashtrays, not Trump!

About as easy as a president ‘Hitlery’ would have to push the button.

Russia almost launched a mutually assured destruction attack in September 1983 (on false readings that the US had ‘launched’) and the libs are worried that it is Trump who’s going to go all Dr. Strangelove.

I STILL find Britlibs who think that Reagan-Thatcher ARE going to come back from the grave and blow up the world.

The current resident is much more likely capable of launching a nuke then President Elect Trump! Obama is a snake and still needs to be watched closely!

Another frantic Bsurdity from commie bastards who should look in the mirror.

BTW, I wouldn’t be too distraught if he launched against the whole Middle East. Just a bit too delayed after 9/11.

Compared to a mean spiteful Bitch, who couldn’t even come out and thank her supporters and concede graciously?
