However, he is right about one thing: "North Korea will never be safe having a Hydrogen Bomb."
So, it is possible that killing 25 million people might be the only way North Korea can be handled.
However, it is also not as simple as that either because nuclear mishaps at this level also might cause the planet to fall apart like Maldek (into the asteroid belt) out past Mars did during a nuclear war there when most of our ancestors died there. We are bred from some of the survivors through genetic engineering 65 million years ago when they landed on earth.

Trump: North Korea 'should have been handled 25 years ago'
Story highlights

Washington (CNN)President
Donald Trump said in an interview that aired Saturday night that
tensions between the United States and North Korea over Pyongyang's
nuclear weapons program is an issue he should not have had to deal with.
"This
should have been handled 25 years ago," Trump told former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee on his TBN show "Huckabee." "This should have been
handled 10 years ago. It should have been handled during the Obama
administration. The truth is, Mike, I was handed a mess. Not only there,
I was handed a mess in the Middle East. Just a total mess."
In
an extensive interview with Huckabee, who is the father of Trump's
press secretary Sarah Sanders, he discussed North Korea, the Iran deal,
health care and his administration's response in Puerto Rico.
Trump
also told Huckabee in the interview, which touched broadly and in quick
succession on a handful of major issues facing Trump's administration,
that if it were up to him, the US would not have gone into Iraq.
"That
was a big mistake. That was truly one of the biggest mistakes in the
history of our country," he said about the Iraq War. "Because it was
like throwing a rock in the hornets nest. But Obama should have never
gotten out the way he got out. That's how ISIS formed."
Trump's
remarks contradict those he made in interviews before and after the
invasion in which he supported the US going into Iraq. Trump only began questioning the merits of the war several months later, as US forces became mired in a war against Iraqi insurgents.
When asked about moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something Trump said during his campaign that he would do, the President signaled he hadn't made that decision yet.
"We're
going to make a decision in the not too distant future," Trump said.
"Right now, actually, we're working on a plan that everyone says will
never work because for many, many years, it's never worked. They say
it's the toughest deal of all. It's peace between Israel and the
Palestinians. And if that doesn't work ... I want to give that a shot
before I even think about moving the embassy to Jerusalem."
Trump
also wouldn't say if the US was planning to get rid of the Iran nuclear
deal. Two senior US officials told CNN this week that Trump plans to "decertify" the deal soon, declaring the Obama-era pact not in US interests and launching a congressional review period on the accord.
"In
a few days from now, a week and a half to be exact, you'll see
exactly," Trump told Huckabee. "But I can tell you I'm very unhappy with
the deal. I'm very unhappy with their attitude. ... Iran is a bad
player. And they're going to be taken care of as a bad player."
On
domestic issues, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Republican
lawmakers over their inability to pass a bill to repeal and replace
Obamacare.
"I'm very disappointed
with a few people," Trump said. "I thought that when I got to the Oval
Office I'd have a bill sitting on my desk ... but it didn't happen."
He also predicted that his tax reform plan will be successful if it gets passed. He unveiled the framework of the plan late last month.
"This
is something that is going to work so easily" he said. "So basically,
these people, we're the highest-taxed nation in the world. These
incredible people we have are treated unfairly. The companies in our
country are treated unfairly and frankly, they're leaving. They leave.
They're starting to come back with me."
He continued: "We're going to have more money to spend. It's like handing people money."
On Puerto Rico, Trump continued to slam San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz for criticizing his administration's response to the damage from Hurricane Maria. Last week, in a series of tweets, he accused her of "poor leadership" and suggesting that the island's residents are not doing enough to help themselves.
"We
have the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, who didn't attend meetings,
who didn't work with FEMA, who really did not do a very good job, in
fact, did a very poor job," Trump said in his interview with Huckabee.
"And she was the lone voice that we saw. And of course that's the only
voice the media wanted to talk to."
On
Tuesday, after Trump visited the island, Yulín Cruz said Trump should
avoid making comments that hurt the people of Puerto Rico.
"I
think his staff understands now and they have all the data they need,"
Yulín Cruz said. "But I would hope that the President of the United
States stops spouting out comments that really hurt the people of Puerto
Rico, because rather than commander in chief, he sort of becomes
miscommunicator in chief."
