I highly doubt Obama just has a red button at his desk that launches missiles. Seems like a pretty useless thing to have on your desk. I'd much rather use that space to install a button that opens a trapdoor in your room: it's reusable, cheaper and has a more directly positive effect on your well-being.

::I'm pretty sure the button is actually INSIDE the {{w|Nuclear football|football-shaped briefcase}}. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 11:09, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 
 
The red button activates a flashing red sign that says "PRESS GREEN BUTTON"... which turns off the flashing red sign. [[Special:Contributions/74.140.141.101|74.140.141.101]] 19:49, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 
 
"incomplete|The Nuclear football should be mentioned, the button doesn't launch all nuclear capabilities."
 
The explanation seems to be complete for me. I don't see any reason to mention the "Nuclear football": there is no reference to it in the comic and what the real "red button" actually looks like is irrelevant. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.49.209|173.245.49.209]] 12:26, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 
 
In Trump's case the red button summons a can of Coke! [[User:The Cat Lady|-- The Cat Lady]] ([[User talk:The Cat Lady|talk]]) 10:26, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
