Ronnie Dugger, Reader Supported News
Dugger writes: "The American president decides entirely alone whether to explode our nation's nuclear weapons on foreign targets.

Strategy and targeting are worked out in advance under the president's control. Like every president since Truman, President-elect Donald Trump will soon be our elected dictator over our atom-splitting bombs."
