Trump takes atomic bags for Florida And in the afternoon “Football” flies back to Washington Source: https: //www.bild.de/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/trump-nimmt-atomkoffer-trotz-inauguration-74977034.bild.html When President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump (74) leaves Washington with “Air Force One” at around 2:00 pm, Germany time today, he will be traveling for the last time with heavy luggage. Aboard the flight to Florida, where Trump retreats for the first time to his luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort, is a 45-pound leather suitcase, branded: "ZerHalliburton." Inside the suitcase: An interception-proof communication system with which each US president can have thousands of American nuclear missiles available to him at any time of the day or night. The legendary atomic suitcase, nicknamed "football" in the US. Trump's decision to be the first president of the United States since 1869 to stay away from his successor's swearing-in ceremony makes the transfer to Joe Biden a logistical nightmare for the military. Why: The constitution gives Trump control over the nuclear attacks until the second Biden takes office. For this, he always carries a plastic card (nickname: “the biscuit”) with the codes that identify him as President. The solution according to CNN: Biden must take his own suitcase. Immediately after the inauguration (around 6 pm German time), the old president's device is deactivated and the new one is activated. It is unclear whether Biden will receive a new copy or one of the three existing replacement “footballs” that are also available to vice presidents. In any case, high-ranking military officers should bring Trump's atomic bag back to Washington, Florida as soon as possible.
