Hunter Thompson?

Not saying he wouldn't have banged on the button, for all he was worth, but no one in their right (or even severely sick) mind would ever let him near it.

Looks like he's referring to Harry S. Truman.

Probably doesn't know who Thompson was.

I'll never forget Thompson speaking at my school as the war in Vietnam was drawing to a close.

He did not mince words.
