Here's how this ends, I'm pretty sure: Trump is told that the moment he orders strikes, N. Korea attacks Seoul, killing many thousands of Koreans and dozens or hundreds of internationals, and he will go down in history as the dumbass that made that happen.  Trump wants praise, not mockery and hatred, and slowly backs away from the idea of a military strike.  Instead, China makes some token gesture, Trump calls it a huge win for his tough-guy diplomatic strategy, and N. Korea keeps announcing every 6 months that it's going to cover the world in a carpet of righteous fire.

Trump wants praise, not mockery. It hasn't stopped him before.

But still, the way you describes it fits my understanding of what happens every time North Korea actually tries to use its military muscle. The moment it looks like things will really escalate, they enlist China to diplomatically smooth it out, because, while the People's Republic of China is no angel, it's clearly got enough finesse and international power to sway other nations into not destroying them and has the distinct advantage of NOT being run by three generations of total jackasses (two of whom still remain in power despite being dead).
