I think that Roger Fisher made the suggestion in 1981, that the nuclear launch codes should be embedded in the chest of the guy that carries the nuclear football. And the briefcase should carry a butcher knife. so if the president makes the decision to kill billions of faceless people he would have to kill one person horribly to do it and that might give him perspective.
Ha, Trump would just get Bannon to do it!
