i mean, they could probably whittle it down to a watch right now, with where technology is.. but for this post question i have to defer to 'just stuff' for now... maybe.. possibly guns in case some crazed leftist goes bonkers?
From what I've seen at the rally last night, they have SS that are in black that carry guns. The other SS agents with suits are there to jump in front of Trump to take the hit for him. But it appears the SS in black with guns aren't close to Trump. They were blocking entrances.
its a loaded laptop bag. the current generation "nuclear football" may well be a laptop - but this is pure speculation. the technology used for that is highly classified of course. As a software engineer it would make sense to me to use a ruggedized laptop with satellite and/or cellular internet for the current and future iterations of the mobile launch command device.
Edit: before stupid remarks about MS Windows being insecure - they wouldnt run that shit OS. It would have to be a custom build of BSD or Linux stripped down to the bare minimum and heavily hardened. The hardware specs of the machine wouldn't even need to be that powerful to connect up, authenticate, and issue a launch command.

IDK i'm thinking just stuff? it's kind of too small to be a football, don't you think?
Based on history:

It does seem a little small.
Could they make it smaller? I really don't know. JFK's football was smaller:
