Unsettling reality of Trump’s failing presidency

Former Vice President Dick Cheney in 2008 to Fox News, said, “The president of the United States now for 50 years is followed at all times, 24 hours a day, by a military aide carrying a football that contains the nuclear codes that he would use and be authorized to use in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States. He could launch a kind of devastating attack the world’s never seen. He doesn’t have to check with anybody. He doesn’t have to call the Congress. He doesn’t have to check with the courts. He has that authority because of the nature of the world we live in.”

When the current POTUS finally realizes he’s going down in flames, how can he be stopped from bringing the rest of the world along with him?
