I don't think Trump needs to do that
nukes have VERY bad PR
However, I think a desperate retaliation nuclear strike from PyongYang would be more likely
the best of worst scenarios is for the north Korean inner circle to seize control over their equivalent of nuke launch authorization
and use it as a leverage for surrender terms
because I don't think Kim is going to surrender
But I'm not sure how much opposing faction is left. Kim did start a inner circle purge after all.

Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
