Declaring it a matter of
national security, President Donald J. Trump ordered White House maintenance
workers to wire the nuclear button on his desk in the Oval Office to “The Clapper” – an electronic
device which allows a table lamp to be turned on or off by simply clapping one’s
hands -- next to his bed.
“The president ordered the instillation
of the device when he realized he didn’t have to walk all the way down stairs in the middle of the night to his
desk in the Oval Office to push the nuclear button, should he deem it necessary,” said a White House spokesman.

“All the president has to do
now to start a nuclear war is clap his hands,” said a spokesman for the Bulletin
of The Atomic Scientists, keepers of the doomsday clock. “So we are having an emergency meeting of our members to
vote on whether or not to move the big hand of the analogue doomsday clock one minute to midnight.”
