President Trump Threatens to "Totally Destroy" North Korea.

And was Trump negotiating? No, he was threatening an enemy so any politeness or rudeness would achieve similar results.

The USA government (and other government) not being held as business is the main issue that make them totally ineficient use of money.

We have plenty of politicians here (and probably in USA as well) that in front of cameras talk very erudit but on private are worse than thugs talking. And as I said I care more about intent and action than to manner of speak (unless I'm writting my book).

Yes he was negotiating.  Do you believe he was just talking to the UN.  He was sending a direct message to NK.  Maybe you should read the book Art of War, NK is not an enemy until they are an enemy.  Right now they are a nation we disapprove of which is something totally different.  Battles are not won by threats and they definitely are not won by immature grade school language.  

 It doesn’t matter what you think or say in private, that’s why its private.  What you say and do in public is what get the job done.  I care little what Trump says or thinks when he is with his people.  When he is speaking and representing the US, he needs to speak with above 5^th grade level proficiency.  He should conduct himself as if he has a clue to his audience and he should understand how to walk within the political circle of the job he won. 

Actually if the US government was run like Trump Business we would be bankrupt and owned by another government.

I think you are getting my position confused.  How we treat NK is totally different from how we convey what we will do.  I have no problems with Trump saying we will do whatever it takes to protect the US and our Allies.  I have a problem with him using grade school immature language to do so.  It accomplish nothing but only escalate an issue and also make it harder for negations.  

As to your point, saying and doing are 2 very different things.  One of Trump big issues is that he loves to throw threats but when pushed has showed to be very weak in action.  How many times has he threaten someone or group and when it was time to put up or shut up, he just shut up.  Threats to NK is worthless and if he would do his homework and understand the people he is threaten he would know this.  It really does not matter what we want NK to do because they have shone they will do whatever they want so if you are going to do something wasting breath trying to look tough and actually doing something is totally different.

What is the use and difference from conveying he will destroy the enemy country using college language or kids language?

Because he is not just talking to NK over the phone or with a group of people.  He is on the world stage represent the US government and his audience is much bigger.  Instead of running his business in some conference room making grade school statements, he is in front of the world represent US.  So yes, forgive me if I want the President of the United states to at least appear to be an adult.  Someone who knows the office, the audience and is looking for the respect of other nations instead of looking like the class clown in some high school movie.
