Trump will likely bomb or do something that would hurt that leader but Russia won't do anything directly against the US. Like normal, people think the end of the world or WW3 would happen every time two countries disagree on something.

yup, its just the usual paranoia. Someone sneezes and everyone freaks out. When this passes and no major world war happens, we as humans will find something else to call WW3 in the future 

Unlike most of the kids on this website who were born after the cold war and thus only have naive notions, but no personal experience about what the cold war, I am old enough to actually still remember it.

Around 1984 when the world was probably even closer to WW3 than during the cuba crisis, most people had just the same danger-ignoring, "I'm sure nothing will happen, it's all just paranoia" attitude that you're showing. Back then, only a minority realized just how dangerous the situation actually was back then. And I assume that during the cuba crisis, most people thought just the same.

So will WW3 come during the next weeks? There's a chance indeed, but the odds are ultimately still higher that it's not going to happen. But simply ignoring the danger is like declaring that being afraid of playing "russian roulette" is pure "paranoia" because the odds of surviving are significantly higher than the odds of dying.
