Trumps fiery words were roundly criticized by the liberal media, yet they put enough fear in China to get them to do 2 things that they had never done before. First they tipped their hand that NK will get no support if they fire on the US first which means we don't have to worry about starting WWIII if we respond. Second, we got China to go along with the rest of the UN in applying sanctions to NK - meaningful sanctions.
As a result, NK backed away for the first time this week from their bravado about missile testing around Guam.
Excellent brinksmanship by President Trump. We are far safer against NK now that China has been spooked enough to act and tip it's hand than we have been for a while. Kim will not fire first without China behind him.

The sanctions were a success. I noted that here. Not sure why you are upset that the media hasn't kept talking about them for three weeks (as if nothing else happened).
The other stuff was just embarrassing. Using Kim's rhetoric is not the mark of a tough guy. It was dumb. And using that low bar, Clinton and Bush and Obama also succeeded in having Trump not attack Guam.
3 weeks ago it was Russian Collusion, 2 weeks ago it was."Trump is unhinged", and this week it is "Trump is a racist".
Not one peep from the MSM. It's disgusting.
They had never pledged to help NK if it went on the offensive.
The sanctions were deftly handled. But they don't involve much pain on China's part.
The North is still testing missiles.
Nothing much has changed.
