No it’s like the neighborhood drunk sitting at the corner of the sidewalk being belligerent and me saying “he probably isn’t gonna be able to stand up”. He might. He might hurt you. He is definitely a terrible presence and makes everything worse, and will make everything worse until he dies, but I don’t have the power to stop it.
Yes but we all know trump is mostly bluster and bullshit.
That’s like your friend threatening someone at the club, and you insisting that he is only joking. Fuck that.

Reducing the harm he can do and already has done to be the drunk at the sidewalk, isn’t helping anything.
Besides, you most definitely do have the power to shut him up. You just won’t.
