Unlike Kim, Trump isn't blowing smoke. As President, he has constitutionally unlimited power over the nukes. Others can try to talk him out of it but if he says, "Launch!" those missiles are going to fly. And there are enough of them to burn the whole of NK to the bedrock.
Any responsible President would consider the consequences of such an action without dire provocation. What would it do to our standing in the world community?
Does anybody think Trump is going to reason it out? Make an informed, rational decision?
Trump is a simple, school-yard bully who is being taunted by another, much-weaker bully. If Kim has any sense at all, he really should STFU. Unfortunately, he's just as immature, egotistical and megalomaniacal. He's calculating how far he can push Trump - just as Saddam Husein did with W. Saddam miscalculated and it cost him his life. If Kim miscalculates, it will cost a LOT of lives.
So, there would still be nuclear fallout that would drift into SK and into China, there would be a refugee problem China does not want. And NK just above the DMZ has 10s of thousands of rockets they'd launch into SK.
