Absolutely untrue. As I've said, North Korea poses no danger to Americans at present, but the entire nation will be at risk when they manage to put nuclear warheads atop their new ICBMs.
So what exactly has Trump done so far?
1) He's countered Kim's unhinged rants with some firm words, just like President Obama and all those who came before him.
2) He's sent an aircraft carrier to the region, even though it was mainly in support of already scheduled exercises. President Obama did the same thing back in 2010:

The North Koreans are not afraid to use their weapons. In the last few years they've shelled the South, sunk a warship, kidnapped Koreans and Japanese from the shores of their own nations, and taken shots across the DMZ. There's only one madman in this scenario and it's Kim Jong-un.
