I am thinking about "Rocket Man".  

We all know that Kim Jong Un is an immature, petulant, and thin skinned person.  He is in the late stages of developing a nuclear program.  On the defensive side, Trump has made it clear that North Korea could not win in a nuclear conflict with the US.  Trump is not threatening aggressive action unless we are provoked.  But he is needling the little rodent unmercifully.  He knows that no personal insult could ever be an international justification for a military aggression.  So he makes fun of Kim in order to get him worked up enough so that China becomes concerned that Kim might do something stupid and intervenes.

Not a bad strategy.
