I think he bows to pressure pretty easily, at least temporarily, and a room full of generals could talk him down from such a situation. What they can't do is control his tweets. He might feel that something like "Time for talk is over. Missiles left their silos five minutes ago" as a valid negotiation (or distraction) tactic, and send that off without consulting anyone. To me that's the most plausible scenario of Trump starting a nuclear war.
