No Nuclear Button but a Nuclear Football and Biscuit


After Kim Jong-un has revealed that he has a nuclear button on his desk. This prompted President Trump to tweet in response "North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!"

According to the BBC, the president does not have a button, he has a football and a biscuit! The football is the briefcase that follows the President around, containing 'communication tools' and manuals. The biscuit is a card that the president has on him at all times, with the codes for activating nuclear Armageddon.

Perhaps the most bizarrely reassuring nugget of information was that when Bill Clinton was president, he lost the biscuit and was without it for over a month.

Very productive second working day on two books.
