I really think, or maybe it's just Hope, that at that point, someone will just say No.
There were a couple of times when the Soviets ordered a nuclear launch in response to a false signal, and the lower level grunt that had to push the button, refused to do it. I sure do HOPE we have a guy like that making the decision not to end the world at the Pedophile-In-Chief's demand.
