Not sure if this makes one laugh or cry....
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/18/us-a...sit-axios.htmlA U.S. military aide carrying the nuclear "football" — a briefcase with contents for the president to authorize a nuclear strike — was blocked by Chinese security officials at Beijing's Great Hall of the People in November 2017, Axios reported.
The aide was with President Donald Trump, who was visiting China as a part of a tour around Asia.
The situation then got physical between U.S. and Chinese officials, according to the report.
The briefcase is supposed to be close to the president at all times. Chief of Staff John Kelly, after hearing about the incident, rushed over and told U.S. officials to keep walking, Axios said. That resulted in a commotion between the Americans and the Chinese.
"A Chinese security official grabbed Kelly, and Kelly shoved the man's hand off of his body. Then General Mattis grabbed the Chinese security official and tackled him to the ground," according to the report.
The news outlet reported the scuffle was over "in a flash" and the Chinese never touched the briefcase. The chief of the Beijing security detail apologized, Axios said.
Was this before or after they published the photo of the guy carrying the football?
Holy shit Trump is having a complete fucking meltdown on Twitter this weekend. Mueller has him rattled.![]()
