However, there were a few people who did not care about this news at all. Some even asked if the button can be brought home so that they can use it if Biden does not want to. "It's the little things that crack me up," one user said. They took to the comments section to give their two cents about the same. Netizens were quite amused by this development. Till now, it has gotten 25,300 retweets and 1,25,300 likes. While some were aware of this, many were still in the dark about this fact until Dunn's tweet went viral on the microblogging site.
The tiny red box is there for another reason, and the reason varied with each president. In spite of what you have seen in the movies, the tiny red button is not to summon a nuclear attack. Eventually, Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought a Diet Coke on a silver platter. President Donald Trump, like presidents before him, have used the tiny red button on his desk for a special reason. "I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019 and we became fascinated by what the red button did. Not only that, he even attached an interesting anecdote regarding the same when he interviewed Trump sometime back. The departure of Esper, originally brought into the cabinet as yet another loyalist – he had previously worked as a lobbyist for arms manufacturers – and the relative lack of standing of his replacement, Christopher C Miller, means that the last hurdle between Trump and the doomsday command has been removed.This piece of news was revealed by a London-based political commentator named Tom Newton Dunn who broke it on Twitter. And the Trump cabinet has an overwhelming majority of his supporters, apparently selected more for their personal loyalty to him than their expertise or backbone. Nobody thinks that Pence would defy Trump in this way.
Section four of the 25th amendment to the US constitution would allow Pence to do this, but he would require the unanimous support of the cabinet. The only other person who could prevent the president from ordering a nuclear attack would be Vice President Mike Pence, through the indirect means of declaring Trump to be insane and removing him from office. The president retains ultimate and sole control because he can sack the defence secretary in the event of disagreement. But if the defence secretary objects he can be over-ruled.
The US president is required to consult with his defence secretary before making a decision to fire nuclear weapons. Donald Trump’s decision to fire Defence Secretary Mark Esper on Tuesday removed one of the final barriers between the president and his ability to launch the US arsenal of nuclear missiles on his own authority without consultation and perhaps even without warning.
