By instituting a two-person rule for United States nuclear weapons use, Donald Trump could reduce the danger of nuclear war, set a precedent that future presidents would find extremely difficult to reverse, and assure his place in the pantheon of great US presidents, writes @meckdevil.bsky.social.

He will NEVER be in the pantheon of a “great” U.S. president. When you’ve got an erratic/demented toddler in the WH this is just common sense. He was already at the bottom of the list of best presidents and now he’s dropped off that list. Good news, first potus to top the WORST presidents list.

Trump doesn't understand that anyone else is a person. Giving anyone power just isn't something he's capable of.

While that is a great medium-term solution, maybe, just maybe, you should consider the 25th amendment so that a second person isn't needed in the short term pending a change in policy.

The only problem with that is He wants to be the only one in "control"... His narcissistic nature prevents him from sharing.

Donald Trump is a villain and will always be a villain. This is the man that wanted to use nuclear weapons to cover hurricanes. It's beyond pointless to even speculate, it borders on malpractice.

Trump voluntarily reducing his ability to do harm is not a plausible thing to hope for.

A shocking thing here is that what appears to be protecting us from unauthorized nuclear launch is a pair of padlocks I wouldn't even trust to keep my beat up bike safe in Oxford.
