If he wants to nuke something, I suspect his wishes will be thwarted.

But he would NOT say what he wanted Ukraine to do about Biden.
He knows he can't say that.

He has to call the person who carries the "football" and start a process for launching any nuclear strike. Granted, the process is meant to be quick and decisive so there is definitely risk, but there are generals and other people in the chain who would likely question Trump about why he would need to launch nuclear weapons.

I believe our military leadership does not trust this man although they would never say anything to that effect and will treat him with the respect the office of the President deserves. However, if he goes off the deep end and try to order nuclear attacks they will take him out if no one else will.
