Mattis puts Amazon 'Doritos dash button' button on Trump's desk and tells him it's for launching nukes
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis placed an Amazon 'Dash Button' on President Donald Trump's desk that orders a 12-pack of Doritos while telling him it was for launching a nuclear strike on North Korea, sources confirmed today.
The move came just days after the president taunted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Tuesday, mentioning that he had a "nuclear button on his desk at all times" but his was much bigger and more powerful.
White House staffers placed masking tape over the Doritos logo of the button, and wrote 'Boom Button' on it with permanent marker, sources said.
