    At one point in the book, the military aide carrying the “nuclear football” tries to stop the president getting his hands on it and is disciplined for his actions.

    Asked what confidence he had that someone in the chain of command now would intervene to stop Trump, Lewis simply replied: “None.”

    “He has consistently purged the military of anybody who he thinks would stand up to him or resist him,” he said.
