If it makes you feel better, the government wont actually let Trump willy nilly nuke countries.

He's a businessman he understands that war and nukes generally don't generate cash. He won't nuke anybody.

WWII was pretty good for the US economy
Yeah, despite the joke I do understand it's not simply "up to him" (which most people seem to believe).

I had heard that the president had the ultimate authority to launch nukes in case they had to be launched quickly. But I may be ignorant

That's what happened in the USSR. Readings were saying that US had launched nukes, obv were wrong, Soviet guy says nope, not launching ours.

Happened to both sides if I'm not mistaken.
I'd be interested to know the other side if you know it
SecretlyHitlerandStalinsLoveChild
Yes it happened on both side a few times through the Cold War usually when new systems were installed and they freaked out.
I believe a flock of birds once set the system off on the US side, as well as a few system errors, though don't take it as gospel.
