I have no trouble accepting that analogy. Though one rather important difference: none of the kids you work with have the nuclear codes. ---

Now Iā€™m wondering what could both (a) set him off to the point that he would order the ā€œfootballā€ carrier to hand over the football to him, and (b) cause said football handler actually comply with turning over that to such an obviously unstable individual. ---

I doubt that heā€™s intellectually capable to do that. Allegedly the nuclear launch codes for a long time were ā€œ00000000ā€, [though thatā€™s disputed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_Action_Link#Development_and_dissemination). If that were still the case, just tell the cancerous tangerine the launch codes are the balance on his bank statement. It would be pretty much true, and his fatuous need to lie about his wealth would guarantee no nuclear launch could ever be successfully authorised by him. ---
