"Fail Safe" redux with President Trump

Are you old enough to remember the old "Fail Safe" flick, where the U.S. accidentally drops a nuke on Moscow.  The then U.S. president played by Henry Fonda informs the Russian leader that we would drop a nuke on NYC to even the score.  Now if Trump has been president in those days the conservation may have gone something like this:  "Vladimir, apparently one of our planes will get through and bomb Moscow.  What I purpose should that happen is that I will order a Nuclear bomb dropped on San Francisco.  Vladimir replies: 'Donald that would put you two up on us.'"
