Cool, got it.  If the DPRK launches an attack on anyone in the next few weeks it will be Trump's fault.

Quite possible. But by the time they do launch an attack, there will have been a number misjudgments on Trump's part. It may not be clear which was the trigger.

If the president does not understand how to use diplomacy to diffuse a potential conflict, or worse, scorns it in favor of stunts and childish rhetoric, then that incapacity is really the larger problem, not any one thing he may say. 

And that is why someone might be bothered if he calls Eun a "rocket man" in a speech before the UN.  A reminder that Trump is just being Trump and that is how he got elected will not relieve anyone if a miscue brings down an artillery barrage on thousands of Americans and Koreans south of the DMZ.
